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.
