TWICE WEEKLY
JSLN Japanese Language School school offers a twice a week course for students who want to study Japanese but are too busy to attend daily class due to work or family obligations. For students wishing to study twice a week while also working part-time we recommend first studying 4 days a week in our short-term intensive course to build a strong foundation.
The upper intermediate classes are ideal for those students who are studying with a long-term perspective. You can slowly and surely advance from basics to actual application. You can learn more natural Japanese by combining the Japanese you hear in your home and work with the Japanese you learn in class and from textbooks.
There are a variety of reasons for wanting to take the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) including needing N1 or N2 to find a job or simply to help set a clear goal and track your progress. Our upper intermediate course is a great foundation for studying for the JLPT. Even if you are busy with work or family obligations, studying twice a week will allow you to progress towards your goal.
The twice a week course at JSLN Japanese Language School is the perfect option for the following types of students, too busy with a part-time job to attend class everyday, when childcare has calmed down and you want to resume studying or you want to study Japanese more intensely but are not quite ready to study everyday.
If you have a desire to study Japanese, but do not feel confident taking class every day, why not start studying Japanese twice a week with a sense of accomplishment?
It is hard to go to Japanese language school every day while working part-time job or taking care of children. Why don’t you relax a little and improve your Japanese by going to class twice a week on your days off or while your children are at school?
For students who due to some life style changes have less chance to use Japanese and are slowly forgetting what you have already learned, you can study with us twice a week and secure your Japanese knowledge.

The classes are scheduled to help you find time in your schedule to review and do homework between classes. This course is recommended for those who want to organize their time while studying.
