JAPANESE GROUP LESSONS IN TOKYO

Japanese Group Lessons to Get You Started

Our fixed offline Japanese group lessons in Tokyo are small, fun, and interactive with a maximum of 7 students per class (while our online Japanese lessons have a maximum of 4 students). Small numbers allow for ample speaking time for you and instructor time to help guide your lessons.

1. Opportunity to Make Friends

Our monthly group lessons are fixed and you can meet the same classmates every week - creating a consistent environment is very useful for maintaining motivation and improving your Japanese. Having a buddy of similar ability can be helpful for sharing tips and realizations with one another.

2. Magical Moments

One unique aspect of group lessons is that you get to watch other people who have a similar Japanese level make mistakes and receive corrections. You also get to hear questions about Japanese culture that you have not thought about and discover something new.

Good Teachers and Quality Textbooks

Our textbooks have been designed in-house for English speakers wanting to learn Japanese. Say goodbye to generic Japanese language textbooks.

Focus on Speaking

The most common complaint I hear from most foreigners regarding their Japanese lessons is that there is too much of a focus on learning how to write Japanese at the expense of learning spoken Japanese.

We focus mainly in speaking in our lessons because you can learn to improve your reading and writing through self-studying.

Focus on Beginner to Low Intermediate

We specialize in helping N5 to N3 Japanese learners make the switch to using Japanese in their daily life. Many of our teachers are super friendly and will make you comfortable first and get you to start speaking Japanese from day one.

Attention High Level Students and Intensive Course Seekers

Japan Switch offers great morning and afternoon weekday lessons and focuses on beginner students. If the time or level is not a match or if you are looking for something more intensive, consider our premium partner school Coto Academy who also provide our learning materials.
