Testimonials From Our Students:
Completed 150 hours of Japanese Language Studies
Gupta-san India
Completed 150 hours of study Japanese
When I started looking for Japanese schools, I noticed most required 150 hours of study. Therefore, I started looking into online schools that accept beginner students completely. Due to my busy work schedule, my study schedule was limited to 2 one-hour classes per week with minimal homework. This is one reason why completing 150 hours of study took me a long time. By the end of the course, I could see myself making improvements. I could read hiragana and katakana slowly, chat about daily work and personal life, and, more importantly, understand many words being spoken in videos, animes, and movies I watched in Japanese.

Galane-san France
Completed 150 hours of study Japanese(6 month)
I had a meeting with someone from Nihongo Online School to discuss my needs and the opportunities the school could offer me. They really seemed to want to create the best possible program to help me achieve the 150 hours I needed to do. We quickly planned our sessions around my schedule, and from then on I had lessons three times a week with a teacher in one-on-one sessions. During these sessions, we spoke in Japanese,but the teacher could speak a little English if necessary. We also discussed various topics related (or not) to the lessons in Japanese and I felt I made a lot of progress thanks to having to express myself in Japanese.
Ben-san The U.S.
12 month with 150 lessons course
I only studied at home by myself before signing up for Nihongo Online School, so my knowledge has been pretty basic, theoretical and pretty random. I needed more structure, boundaries and deadlines through a teacher, and conversation practice to force me to say real sentences with proper grammar.
The good points are being able to practice my speaking with someone that can help me with my mistakes. I’ve enjoyed all my lessons so far with Natsumi-sensei. The lesson level has been appropriate, have been going well.
3 reasons
improving your Japanese conversation level
Tailored plans and lessons to your own needs
Instead of a standardized, fixed curriculum, lessons are customized based on student’s needs and goals. We ensure that students have as much time to speak as possible.
You will solidify your grammatical knowledge with 2 hours of homework every lesson, and in lessons, you will practice conversations based on scenarios that you will use frequently in your daily life.
So, you can reach the conversation level required in daily life in the fastest way.
System to visualize the growth of the Japanese language level
We regularly measure the conversational ability of our students through the “10-step conversation level test” and the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) Online Mock Test.
This allows to quantitatively check the effect of learning and visualize the degree of growth of the students’ Japanese conversation skills. Please feel free to contact us for a free Japanese level check and trial lesson.
Extensive follow-up by dedicated instructors
One instructor is in charge of each student from the beginning to the end of the course. This system is different from another online school in which the instructor changes each time a lesson is taken.
Therefore, we will propose a lesson plan that will keep students motivated to learn and improve their conversation skills, taking into consideration the students’ homework situation, learning progress, level of proficiency, and personality.
Understanding your Japanese level and what you can do in your daily life will help you set and achieve your goals.
We have a clear level structure that helps you set and achieve your goals. Please see the chart below to get an idea of their levels.
*Based on the OPI level criteria, we will evaluate your conversational ability on a scale of 10.
