Full of Student Interactions!! Surely You Can Master Japanese in This Way!

Everyday in our life, we think about various issues and take actions. Our language ability is closely linked with how we act. We will study the "listening", "speaking", "reading", and "writing" skills with good balance, and aim to acquire Japanese language ability ready for entrance exams for universities and graduate school, as well as ability to express ourselves.
The merit of studying at the Atsugi campus is that there are various school events you can join together with Japanese college students from other departments. Through school events and daily exchanges, our students are deepening their relationships with other students and teachers by building up confidence in their Japanese language as a tool.
