Japanese Survival Course
Our Japanese Survival Course is for people learning Japanese for the first time. Over five weeks, you will learn the basic words and phrases of the Japanese language to get more out of a holiday or business trip. Lessons are dynamic and interactive, with your teacher speaking Japanese and using props and pictures to help you understand. The Survival course is the equivalent of our Japanese for Beginners General Programme.
