At Genki, we believe you can't learn a language using only a textbook. You need to feel it, use it, live it.
That's why we focus not just on teaching you the basics of grammar, but also on how to live in Japan and communicate with real Japanese people.
You won’t get far in Japan without being able to speak the language, but using the special techniques our teachers have developed, you’ll be surprised just how easy it is to learn! Our Standard Course uses original, modern materials combined with activities based on real-world situations, improving your Japanese speaking ability in a way that gives you the flexibility to adapt to new situations. Study with us and you won’t be just studying Japanese, you’ll be actually using it in no time.
Core courseLesson system:
Two grammar lessons and two lessons focused on speaking, listening, writing or reading, every weekday. Practice what you’ve learnt at home by homework and assignments, then put that new knowledge to use the next day in our language skills practical classes.
