Excelente experiencia aprendiendo japonés en Fukuoka

January 23, 2026by: Pablo Nicolas Blencio Barabino - Spain

Program: Short-term Japanese Courses & Cultural Activities in Fukuoka

10

Tuve una experiencia excelente en Fukuoka JALS, donde estudié japonés durante una semana. Los profesores fueron increíbles: siempre muy amables, con explicaciones claras y mucha paciencia. No tenían ningún problema en repetir o explicar de otra manera cuando era necesario, lo que hace que el aprendizaje sea mucho más cómodo y efectivo. Las aulas son pequeñas (en mi caso, éramos solo 6 alumnos), lo cual permite participar activamente, hablar mucho y poner en práctica el japonés aprendido en clase. Las clases se imparten completamente en japonés, pero incluso si tu nivel es bajo no hay ningún problema: los profesores saben hacerse entender perfectamente y adaptarse a cada alumno. Las clases son muy dinámicas y amenas, pasan volando. Además, la zona de coworking es muy útil para completar las tareas después de clase o repasar con tranquilidad. La ubicación es inmejorable: está en la estación de Hakata, el centro neurálgico de Fukuoka, desde donde puedes llegar fácilmente a cualquier parte de la ciudad. El personal en general es muy atento y las actividades que organizan después de clases están muy bien pensadas y son divertidas. Recomiendo Fukuoka JALS al 100% para cualquiera que quiera aprender japonés en un ambiente profesional, cercano y motivador.

Great time at JaLs!

I had a great time at JaLs! The teachers were super nice and always answered any questions I had. I especially liked how the class was centered around speaking because it translated to real life experiences in Japan. I felt that the pacing of the class was just right.

Jals名古屋は本当にいい場所です 、先生たちはすごく親切だし学ぶはたのしかったです。文化プログラムは毎週たくさんありますので毎日新しい経験ができます。僕は剣道や日本舞踊などを体験しました。どれも初めての経験で日本人や子どもたちとに交流もあり、すごく楽しかったです。プライヴェートレッスンはすごくいいと思います、自分の学びたい事を教えくれます。授業中はいつもいい雰囲気で丁寧に教えてくれました。文法などもっと学べます。

Staff

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.
