However, due to insufficient Japanese learning environments and economic reasons in these countries, many learners resort to self-study.

JPLT recently introduced a special low-cost plan to offer an affordable opportunity for learners to study Japanese with Japanese language teachers. Even foreigners living in Japan are encouraged to take advantage of this plan to improve their Japanese conversational skills!

Key Details of the Offer:

■ Enrollment Starts: June 10, 2024

The 66-hour online course covers grammar, vocabulary, and kanji comprehensively, including practice in listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Throughout the course, students are given opportunity to participate in mock exams and quizzes to gauge their progress and readiness for the JLPT N5 exam.

☆ Japanese Conversation Course for Starters (CEFR A1) 

The Japanese Conversation Course for Starters is designed to help students reach A1 level proficiency. This course, based on CEFR standards, aims to help learners understand and use common expressions and basic phrases used in various situations of daily life in Japan, such as working, shopping, going out, dining, and interacting with others. The goal of the course is to enhance students’ ability to “do” things in real-life situations using Japanese.

All courses: 

Lesson Duration: 3 months (66 Hours)
Frequency: 2-3 times a week (depending on the day of the class)
Course Fee: 6,600 pesos (Special Offer 50% OFF for the first time enrollee: 3,300 pesos)

※ We monitor the number of participants in each class and will establish new classes as necessary to maintain a comfortable learning environment.

※ We intend to continue to evaluate and refine this limited-time PLAN and continue its regular implementation in the future.

■ We welcome you to the world’s largest online Japanese learning campus!
