Stop studying Japanese and start speaking it. Coto Academy’s Intensive Japanese Course is designed for those who don’t have months to wait for results. Whether you join us in person in Tokyo or via our interactive online classroom, we condense the essentials into a high-impact 4-week sprint. Why Coto's Intensive Program is Different: The 1:8 Ratio: With a maximum of 8 students per class, you get more "mic time" and personalized corrections than at traditional language factories. Context-First Learning: We ditch the dry drills. You’ll learn grammar through real-world scenarios—from navigating a Tokyo ward office to networking at a Golden Gai bar. Native Professional Coaches: Our teachers are experts in helping expats bridge the gap between "textbook Japanese" and how locals actually speak. Proven Excellence: Join the community that rated us 4.9/5 on Google. Don't just live in Japan—belong here.

I am enjoyed and at the same time I really learned Japanese not in a hard way but in an enjoyable way.

I started the online course with Coto. And after that in the second week, I also joined a couple of private classes. So that kind of thing and then I noticed that Coto has some original materials online.
