Immersion to the max
July 05, 2025by: Darwin Tariao - SwedenProgram: Short-term Japanese Courses & Cultural Activities in FukuokaThe school had activities after lessons that gives you the chance to immerse yourself in the culture or gives you the opportunity to meet up with locals which helps you get more practice in speaking and interacting. Living in a homestay gives you plenty of practice and immersion into the culture and language. I’m very happy with the experience since everyone were so welcoming and I learnt so much through interactions with the school and homestay family.
Jumping into Japanese
June 29, 2025by: Jo Ridgers - AustraliaProgram: Short-term Japanese Course & Cultural Activity in HokkaidoI love the vibe Jals classes offer. Kind, caring & Hard-working teachers & staff deliver a quality language program in a beautiful campus setting. Each day is a challenge and the rigour is very effective in improving language skills.
Very fun
June 25, 2025by: lucy gilet - AustraliaProgram: Short-term Japanese Course & Cultural Activity in HokkaidoThe activities arranged by thre school are all super cool. I had a lot of fun and learnt a lot about japanese culture. We learnt the material a little fast for me but it was managable. My Japanese has improved a lot with he classes. I've gone from basically zero japanese to being able to understand a lot of basic sentences.

I already live in Sapporo and had been going to another school. However, my previous school was a huge help in teaching me beginner Japanese but I was struggling to connect everything I had learnt, the teachers changed, and it was no longer working for me. I needed to find a school that not only suited my needs but also fitted around my work schedule.
