Learning Fast While Feeling at Home and Making Good Friends 🌏🫶🏻
April 02, 2026by: Marlene Huber - GermanyProgram: Japanese Language Study in Tokyo JaLS Shibuya Campus
Best language school so far! I’ve never learned this much in such a short time compared to other language schools. The classes can be a bit challenging at the beginning because they are very fast-paced, but it’s amazing to see how quickly you improve from day to day. Everyone is incredibly helpful—especially the school manager and staff, who always lend a hand and truly care about all the students. What I loved most is the opportunity to meet people from all over the world in the large lobby, whether for lunch or studying together. My classmates became friends, but I also connected with people from other classes—so you’re never alone 🫶🏻 The school offers great social activities (e.g. visiting famous places or conversation practice), and we often spent time together after class as well. On top of that, the facilities are very modern, creating a calm and inspiring environment for learning a new language. When the weather was good, Fuji-San welcomed us for morning classes. The view is amazing because the school is on the 23rd floor. Since I had just arrived in Tokyo, I found the location of the school perfect for exploring beautiful parks, cafés, shrines, and more. I definitely want to come back soon! It truly felt like a family. Thank you so much for making me more comfortable talking in Japanese and my pleasant stay.
잊지 못할 경험
March 25, 2026by: IJI SEO - South KoreaProgram: Short-term Japanese Courses & Cultural Activities in Nagoya
여기 사람들 다 좋은 사람들이었습니다. 제가 운이 좋아서 좋은 학생을 만난 것도 있지만, 스탭들도 다 친절하고 좋아서 너무 즐겁게 보냈어요. 저는 일주일만 신청했는데 그 시간들이 너무 짧아서 아쉽습니다. 나중에 기회가 있다면 다시 오고 싶어요. 그때는 좀 더 길게요. 제가 있었던 장소는 5월부터 다른 장소로 옮긴다고 하는데 추억의 장소가 옮겨져서 아쉽습니다. 다음에는 다른 장소에서 추억을 남기고 싶어요.
Amazing Japanese experience

Muy recomendable!! La gente del staff es super maja, las actividades que proponen son super entretenidas y te permiten conocer Japón de verdad. Además, en las clases aprendes mucho no solo el japonés “escrito” sino especialmente el hablado. La gente es increible, si tienes dudas, ven aqui!!! 10/10 y si tengo oportunidad volveré

What inspired you to travel abroad?
I used to work as a university instructor and in that position I read a lot of student essays. Among those essays, I always found the Japanese written by international students to be a little strange. Through proofreading and editing their essay, I personally discovered how deep and beautiful the Japanese language can be. That is what led me to think that I would like to learn more about the particulars of and teach the Japanese language.
