Courses
General Course
This comprehensive program not only teaches you the Japanese you need to know to live and work in Japan, it also ensures you have the fundamental skills necessary to pass the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) at a high level. Beyond that, you also have the option of focusing on preparation for entrance to a Japanese university or preparing to enter the Japanese workforce.
If you do choose to hone your business skills, Akamonkai teachers will go as far as hosting mock interviews for you, and even connecting you with potential job opportunities via the larger group company.
The curriculum is carefully designed and calibrated to meet the needs of different Japanese language abilities, so don't worry if you're new to studying Japanese or if you've already been at it for a few years. Akamonkai has the right class and teacher for you, to help you achieve your goals.

3 Week and Short Term Courses
Already live in Japan, or you're from a country with a visa waiver for up to 3 months? You're in luck! You are eligible to jump into either the 3 Week Course or the Short Term Course at Akamonkai.
The 3 Week Course is designed as a crash course into the fundamentals of Japanese language study, and enrollment is continuous, with a new session starting each month. The Short Term Course is more in depth, and places students in the same classes as the General Course, so overall it is more thorough.
Both of these are great options if you don't want to go commit to getting a student visa or being in Japan for a long time.
