A. Learning sessions are guided lessons with a professional Coto teacher where you will learn new Japanese vocabulary and grammar through our in-house learning curriculum.

Learning sessions are great for everyone who would like to learn new Japanese.

With Learning sessions you can learn Japanese from the beginning - or you can pick up where you left off. There are no restrictions on what level of Japanese learner can take learning sessions.

We recommended learning sessions to students who:
・have never studied Japanese, and don’t know how to start
・want to improve their Japanese Language ability but there is no school in their area
・have left Japan but would like to keep learning at the same pace.

A. All teachers are native Japanese speakers and for learning sessoins, all teachers have experience in teaching students cross culturally.
We hire teachers who are not only experienced with teaching Japanese but also have experience communicating across different cultures. This means that we do our best to have our teachers create a positive learning environment for the student.
Nearly all teachers are able to hold daily conversations in English - so feel free to ask questions!

A. During a speaking session you can use what you have already learned to practice having more natural and fluent interactions in Japanese.
The more output you have and the more you can speak Japanese - the better you will be at speaking.

We recommend these sessions to someone who:
・has left Japan but wants to keep improving their Japanese speaking ability
・Is currently taking an intensive course wants to have more output / practice opportunities
・Has learned Japanese before - but does not have much opportunity to speak it on a daily basis.
