In general, it is said that mastering basic Japanese takes around 200 to 300 hours. However, at Akira, we’ve managed to condense the required learning time to 50 hours by only focusing on conversation and frequently used phrases and grammar patterns.
Our syllabus is based on a romantic drama featuring a non-Japanese woman as the main character. Through this second-hand experience of getting to know a Japanese person by speaking Japanese, the process of learning itself becomes enjoyable, rather than a chore.
At Akira, we practice a new style of teaching known as flipped learning. By preparing for the lessons and understanding the sentence patterns and grammar based on the materials provided beforehand, you are then able to focus on hands-on conversation practice during the lessons.
At Akira, all our learning materials are in digital form. Everything from the summary of the preparation materials, classroom materials to the drama can be viewed on your smartphone, tablet or PC. All lessons may be recorded (audio / video*) for efficient revision. *Only for the Online Premium Course
Our teachers suggest real life examples of phrases and dialogs you’ll want to use immediately, and our lessons are designed for maximum speaking practice to enable you proceed from just “understanding” to really “conversing” in Japanese. In order to further develop this teaching style, we only hire certified native Japanese teachers at Akira.

Our brand name, "Akira", carries the meaning of “sunlight” in Japanese.

I graduated of the University of Tokyo, majoring in education.
Upon graduation, I initially pursued a career in marketing.
However, seven years ago,
I came across "education in Japanese" and
decided to focus once more on education.
I hope to support you in learning Japanese.
