While learning easy Japanese, our students learn to love Japan's culture and Japanese people. This is why we do not just have a Japanese class. We create a community where foreigners and Japanese alike can be friends. We can also support the promotion of exchanges with Japanese people while giving Japanese classes to Specified Skilled Workers. |
