Learning Approach

Our group lessons are suitable for beginners with little to no prior knowledge of Japanese. Ideally, you should be able to read Hiragana (Japanese characters). However, if you cannot read Hiragana at all, you can still join; you’ll just need to learn along the way. This makes it ideal for anyone eager to start their Japanese language journey in a supportive group setting.
