Guaranteed internship in Japan +  Japanese language program

Internship + Japanese

Let's be honest, mastering a language takes years,
but being able to communicate on a basic level can be achieved in just a few weeks.
Our Internship + Japanese Program offers you the unique opportunity
to improve your Japanese and gain work experience.

Our Japanese language program focuses on speaking, communicating,
and preparing you for daily life in Japan.
Each week, we will practice different real-life situations
and learn how to respond effectively.
You will learn basic Japanese grammar, and vocabulary, but most importantly,
you will gain the confidence to communicate in Japanese.

Our immersive approach will ensure that you are well-equipped to navigate daily life with confidence.

Learning Japanese and gaining work experience was the perfect combination for me!

Key Points

What it's all about.

  • Focus on Speaking and Communicating

    Reading and writing skills can be developed independently, but speaking requires interaction and practice with others. Our class prioritizes speaking, pronunciation, and grammar.
    We also provide homework assignments to improve reading and writing.
    This approach will help you to improve your speaking skills and gain confidence in the Japanese language.

  • Speak Japanese right away

    Our classes are designed to teach you the language skills you need to communicate effectively in real-life situations. You only have a few months available and therefore your learning materials are designed so that you can use Japanese and communicate with the locals right away.

  • Level up every week

    Every week, we cover a variety of topics to make learning fun and help you get a better understanding of the Japanese language. You will be given tests and based on your learning speed and interest, we can adjust the study materials accordingly.

  • Learn the Japanese culture

    Language is culture. Other than the language, you will also learn about Japanese culture, customs, and traditions to gain a deeper understanding of Japan. With the variety of topics covered each week, you will have an engaging and well-rounded learning experience.

What does a week look like?

Grammar, vocab, reading, writing & pronunciation

Let's give you an example: Shopping & Ordering
You will learn how to:
Communicate with staff
Ask for the price or adjustments to your order
Order and more when shopping or eating out

Practice makes perfect.

We try to over-communicate so everyone stays on the same page. Let's practice and review what we've learned so far.
At the end of the lesson you will be able to:
Express yourself and ask what you're looking for
Hold an easy conversation
Shop and order all by yourself
