Announcement
Our school will be in winter recess between December 21 and January 5 in Japan time (GMT+9).
The most important point of learning Japanese is to clarify your goals and plan a strategy. After interview, level check and free trial we suggest a personalized curriculum. Let us know what you' d like to be able to do and by when.
Through Akira’s Scientific Method based on Second Language Acquisition Research (SLA), we help coordinate your Japanese language learning while ensuring your efficient acquisition of Japanese communication skills.
At Akira, we practice a new style of learning known as “flipped learning”. By understanding the sentence patterns and grammar beforehand, you are then able to focus on practising your conversational skills during class.
SLA(Second Language Acquisition Research)is the science of clarifying the mechanism of how one acquires knowledge of a language other than one's mother tongue through neuroscience, psychology, and linguistics. At Akira, we explain to you what your problem is and how we solve it according to SLA to effectively develop your Japanese skills. It' s important for learners to understand why we choose this training method.
Understanding sentence patterns and grammar beforehand using exercises coupled with the English version of the “Minna no Nihongo” textbook.
Focused training on conversational skills through composition and speech practice, and dialog practice in pairs.
Establishing conversational skills through the recorded lessons.
Putting the conversational skills learned to use in the workplace.
Experiencing the effects of SLA-based training first hand through conversations in Japanese.

All our teachers are real professionals who solve your problems and improve your skills faster and more efficiently. To keep and improve the quality of lessons, we only recruit certified teachers who passed a recruitment exam with top grades and provide training based on the SLA-method before starting to offer lessons and every once a quarter.
