Schedule for the 2022 Online Japanese Intensive Course
What's an online Japanese intensive course?
Our intensive Japanese course is designed to dramatically improve your Japanese in a short period of time. By making it online, our Japanese class allows students to only focus on building their Japanese speaking confidence — no more commuting or scheduling conflicts. Specifically, our intensive courses are suitable for students wishing to immerse themselves in Japanese, even when they’re overseas.
Currently, we're opening intensive courses for beginners, but other more intermediate and advanced will be made available.
What can we expect from the online Japanese intensive course?
Our courses will help students acquire all four core components of the Japanese language: writing, reading, speaking and listening.
Not only that, we want you to learn Japanese that are applicable immediately. For that, Coto Japanese Academy puts a strong focus on Japanese conversations and practical skills to help students enjoy their lives in or outside Japan.
Depending on your learning goals and Japanese level, you will learn new kanji and grammar points. Along the way, you’ll build up the confidence to converse naturally in Japanese.
What’s the format of the online intensive Japanese course?
Lessons last for 4 weeks and are held 5 days a week on the weekdays (Monday to Friday). Depending on the level and class you enroll at, morning and evening courses are available.
Lessons are conducted via Zoom. Keep in mind that all the time schedules are listed on Japanese Standard Time (JST). We will use a mix of self-developed class materials and Genki textbooks.
Benefits of joining online intensive Japanese course
1. Small focus group
We do our best to provide a supportive learning environment to help you stay engaged. This is why we limit each class to eight students: so you have more chances to speak Japanese and build a genuine connection with your classmates and native teachers.
Our professional Coto instructors will also want to focus on your growth. Fewer students allow them to better oversee your progress and provide personalized feedback.
2. Fun and interactive Japanese lessons
At Coto, we view learning as a marathon, not a sprint. We know the importance of staying motivated when it comes to learning Japanese. This is why we make our classes something that you look forward to. In other words, we want to make learning fun and easy. We do this by encouraging our students to be proactive and make our lesson materials interesting. You’ll do a lot of roleplays and participate in fun class activities.
3. Focus on the “real” Japanese
The class covers all aspects of the Japanese language, but we also put importance on learning beyond textbooks. We include Japanese modules that you can immediately use in real-life situations.
For that matter, you will learn layers of Japanese culture and manners that you won’t find in books. We want to prepare you for the “real” Japan.
4. Achieve full-time progress in a short period
Our online intensive course only lasts for four weeks, but you’ll learn Japanese at a pace quicker than the average. It’s designed for effective learning, helping you achieve your goal and develop deep fluency in Japanese in the shortest possible time.
