We also invite well-known lecturers to deepen understanding of Japanese education for many people.

For developing staff to correspond with various types of Japanese learners, we promote staff of Toyama Japonica to conduct studies of Japanese language education and give them opportunities of training.

 

 

Student's Opinions

I have worked in a private language school and have had other experiences teaching English. Toyama Japonica is certainly not an average language school. Japonica’s teachers work exceptionally hard to prepare and deliver lessons suited to the student. They also offer a lot of help to often clueless foreigners like myself.Together, teacher and student make progress toward the student’s goals. I have studied at Japonica for three years and will continue to study at Japonica well into the future. Robert Hirschel (U.S.A)

 

Studying at Japonica has dramatically improved my overall Japanese ability along with my confidence in using and interest in studying Japanese. One of the reasons my lessons at Japonica have been so effective is that from the start the teacher, textbook, lesson content, and teaching methods were all tailored to my goals and needs in learning Japanese. The school's small size - which produces an open, relaxed, and homely environment - along with it's friendly and approachable teachers, encourage students to ask questions and take a more active role in their learning. Moreover the versatile and flexible lesson planning of a highly professional, dedicated, experienced, and qualified teachers make learning Japanese at Japonica relevant, challenging, attainable, and most importantly fun!
