It is a great course to teach the foundations of the language to anyone who would like to learn Japanese online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, the course is only available in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the course works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This beginner course is designed to go through all the basics of the Japanese language. The course will begin when you enroll, with 5 days of lessons released per week. You will have 6 months from the date that you enroll to complete the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lessons are taught with a combination of <strong>videos<\/strong>, <strong>audio<\/strong>, <strong>text files,<\/strong> and more to give you a well-rounded learning experience. We will supply you with course materials for each lesson to help you learn as efficiently as possible. Students will also get to upload their own videos so teachers can check their pronunciation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 12-week course, <strong>you will learn<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How to read and write hiragana, katakana, and beginner kanji<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More than 1000 words<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How to read, write, and understand short, simple sentences<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Useful conversation skills such as self-introduction, how to describe something, how to give reasons, how to express what you like or prefer, how to ask for things, how to ask for directions, plus other simple conversations you can use in daily life in Japan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that studying online can sometimes be an isolating experience. So through this course, you will also be part of a community where you can communicate with other learners and course leaders, ask questions, and compare study notes. It is the next best thing to learning Japanese in person at a language school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"798\" height=\"436\" src=\"https:\/\/gogonihon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Akamonkai-language-school-reception-desk-2024.jpg\" alt=\"Lobby and front desk area at Akamonkai language school in Japan.\" class=\"wp-image-145823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gogonihon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Akamonkai-language-school-reception-desk-2024.jpg 798w, https:\/\/gogonihon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Akamonkai-language-school-reception-desk-2024-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gogonihon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Akamonkai-language-school-reception-desk-2024-768x420.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 798px) 100vw, 798px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why choose this online course over other methods to learn Japanese online?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This course was created and is managed by qualified Japanese language teachers from Tokyo\u2019s <b>largest language school<\/b>, Akamonkai. The school has more than 30 years of experience teaching Japanese and more than 20,000 graduates, so you can rest assured that you are getting the very best learning experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The course is designed to take students to JLPT N5 level, so it is very goal-oriented. Even if you don\u2019t plan to take the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jlpt.jp\/e\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">JLPT<\/a> (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) and just want to develop your Japanese knowledge, it\u2019s good to have a set goal to work towards. This also gives the course and your learning a strong structure to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meets the 150-hour study requirement for language school<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After completing the course, <strong>you will receive a certificate<\/strong> and your <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gogonihon.com\/en\/blog\/150-hour-japanese-study-requirement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">150 hours of study<\/a><\/strong> will be officially recognized by immigration. This is helpful when it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/gogonihon.com\/en\/blog\/study-in-japan-for-6-months-planning-and-timeline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">applying to study in Japan<\/a>, as Japanese immigration will be able to see that you have already put effort into learning the language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The<strong> online community<\/strong> gives you the support and experience that you might not get with other platforms to learn Japanese online. Not only can you connect with other students, but you can reach out to teachers to ask questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the strongest benefits of this course is that students send videos to teachers throughout the course using the private student community so that the teachers can check their progress and pronunciation. Often with learning a language online, you can learn all the grammar and vocabulary, but you don\u2019t often get real advice on your speaking ability. With an actual teacher checking and helping you with your spoken Japanese, you will be able to develop all aspects of your Japanese language skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much does it cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The course costs <strong>114,870 yen<\/strong> in total. This is a great deal when compared with studying at language schools in Japan, which start at 15,000 yen a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also pay in three installments of <strong>42,000 yen<\/strong>. Note that if you do not continue to pay the installments, you will not receive any new content after the payment deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other options to learn Japanese online might be cheaper, but they aren\u2019t normally created by an <strong>accredited school<\/strong> and don\u2019t offer the same features or benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"798\" height=\"436\" src=\"https:\/\/gogonihon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Akamonki-online-course-bundle-hiragana-laptop.jpg\" alt=\"Akamonkai and Go!
