Japanese Courses where you can quickly make progress!  KAI offers 2 distinct summer courses: the Grammar & Conversation course and the JLTP Preparation course for students aiming to pass the JLPT N1 and N2 exams. Grammar & Conversation courses start in July and August. Students can take a course in July or August or both. At the end of the course, the students receive a certificate of participation as well as a feedback sheet showing what they have learned during the course.

Fun lessons where you can freely and easily speak in Japanese

Grammar & Conversation

This course is designed to steadfastly improve your conversation skills in an enjoyable atmosphere. A lot of speaking exercises are given in each class. A free talk session with Japanese guests is held on the last day of the course. The first 3 periods in a day focus on conversation while the 4th period is for reading and writing.

N1 & N2 preparation courses designed for learners from non-kanji countries The lessons cover all the subject areas of the JLPT: vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension and listening comprehension, with major emphasis placed on reading, a critical component of the exam.

Students are given tests in the middle and at the end of the course to assess their achievement. Each student will have an individual counseling with their teachers and receive advice on how to further improve and successfully pass the JLPT exam.
