Location

Our school is located in Sapporo.

SAPPORO – Sapporo is the 4th largest city in Japan and is famous for the annual Sapporo Snow Festival, which attracts over 2 million tourists from all over the world. The city is also famous for seafood, ramen, and, of course, Sapporo beer! Being one of Japan’s newest cities by Japanese standards it lacks a lot of traditional architecture like Kyoto; however, it more than makes up for it with a ton of things that you can only find in Sapporo! Hokkaido’s untamed wilderness and national parks make up the majority of Japan’s largest prefecture. Due to its Northern location, you can escape Japan’s dreaded muggy summers and rainy season and enjoy a long winter ski season. If you enjoy a modern city in the middle of beautiful untouched nature, Hokkaido’s the place to be.

COURSE DETAILS

Term breakdown

TERM 1-2
BEGINNER
The beginner course follows the みんなの日本語初級Ⅰ/Minnano Nihongo Elementary 1 and looks to apply it against everyday situations to help you get settled in Japanese life. The target level for starters is JLPT N5.

TERM 3-4
INTERMEDIATE
Following on from the beginner course the focus moves up towards JLPT N3 and uses the みんなの日本語中級Ⅰ/Minnano Nihongo Chuukyuu 1 textbook as a guide to build on the foundation established at beginner level. Students will become more confident in their usage and be more comfortable conversation.

TERM 5-6
ADVANCED
Finally, the advanced level moves to more complex communication with JLPT N2-N1 level work. The work does not use a specific textbook at this level so that the classes may be adapted to the students specific needs.
