Some say you do not need Japanese language skills for living in Japan because many Japanese guide plates have English translation, and the Japanese speak English. It is true, but please imagine yourself having good communication in Japanese with store or reataurant clerks, and talking about fashion, manga, and cartoons with your Japanese friends. Doesn't it look fun? MJI's Everyday Conversational Japanese Course helps you achieve your goals and make your life in Japan more fun and fulfilling.
Have you ever thought "Why do many Japanese language schools offer lessons only in Japanese, wasting valuable time explaining very simple concepts?" MJI instructors have been trained in how to explain grammar in English, so you will understand quickly and have more time to practice.
We will work with you to choose the best textbook that matches your needs and interests. We can change textbooks if you think the one we chose does not work well for you. Other materials such as magazines, movies, and newspapers will also sometimes be used.
In MJI's lessons you will have chances to practice what you learned from the textbook in actual life. You can go to restaurants or stores around the school with your teacher and try ordering and shopping in Japanese. Your teacher will help you when you have questions so that you can feel comfortable and confident.
In beginner level lessons, you will learn 100 general grammars, 1000 vacabularies, and useful phrases for actual conversation. We choose the best one from store-bought textbooks that is suitable for your goals. Your teacher can offer grammar and cultural explanations in English, so even complete beginners can feel comfortable. Through a great volume of excercises such as oral Japanese composition and role-play, you can improve your speaking skills. You will also have chances to go outside of school with your teacher to practice speaking Japanese in actual life. Regarding characters: hiragana, katakana, and kanji, MJI's original writing method will help you learn how to write and memorize them smoothly.
