For those who are just starting to learn Japanese
For those who are having trouble with Japanese,
If you're thinking about trying your best to study Japanese, please feel free to contact Japanese Learning Support LLC in Shinjuku.
All of our teachers are looking forward to the opportunity to meet you in Japanese lessons.
For those starting to study
Japanese Learning Support LLC welcomes visitors from overseas.
I am Toshiyuki Kusuda, the head teacher.
We are grateful that you chose our school from among the many Japanese language schools and course options available.
We promise you a definite improvement in your Japanese language skills.
Japanese is a skill that everyone can definitely learn to speak.
Acquiring this language requires complex study, just like any other foreign language, so a proper curriculum and step-by-step learning process are essential.
First, let me tell you this.
For those who are just starting to learn Japanese,
Whether you're struggling with Japanese or striving to reach an advanced level,
Let's have fun studying together!
So, where exactly should one begin when studying Japanese?
Want to have a conversation with a Japanese person?
Do you watch dramas or movies?
Are you going on a trip or shopping?
They all sound really fun, but it seems like practical learning will require a solid foundation.
Understanding Japanese is essential to truly enjoy Japan.
That's what I think.
Walking through the streets of a foreign city is exciting, isn't it?
The experience of sharing a table with people from different cultures is sure to excite us.
Of course, travel experiences give us invaluable life satisfaction.
However, when it comes to "establishing a foundation for one's life," one inevitably has to change their perspective and approach academics in a slightly different way.
To systematically observe the subject of 'language,' a field of study that is inherently elusive and difficult to grasp as a whole.
The next step is to hone the skills needed to actually implement the system you've understood in communication.
It is the duty of a Japanese language teacher to provide this kind of training guidance.
As professional teachers, we have the expertise and confidence to meet all your Japanese language needs.
We hope that your connection with Japanese Language Learning Support LLC will become an invaluable one for everyone who has had a connection to Japan.
To conclude my greetings, let me offer a few words of advice for putting your studies into practice. For basic communication in a foreign language (especially Japanese in this case), the most important things are "sound" and "vocabulary size."
Let's listen to the sound.
It is not the sound of any language spoken by any person in any other region. It is not the sound of the alphabet, nor of Arabic script, nor of Hangul script, nor of any Chinese characters used in other countries.
Listen carefully and try to hear Japanese.
If you listen carefully to the Japanese language, you will hear sounds that are unique to the Japanese language.
In actual Japanese speaking, what is particularly important is
a, i, u, e, o
These are the five sounds shown above. They are called vowels and are pronounced forcefully with breath.
In most cases, the sound of a single syllable written in hiragana is based on the five vowels "a, i, u, e, o," and that is what constitutes a "sound" in Japanese.
Those connect to form a "word".
The more words you use, the more accurately you can infer the other person's intentions from the context of their life experiences.
For serious training, please come and try a trial lesson.
Our motto is to be open 365 days a year.
We welcome your reservations for the period from 7:30 am to 11:30 pm Japan time.
Let's meet at the lesson time.

Prepare a class that responds to "I want to speak Japanese"
I want to create a bilingual/trilingual environment
We will surely respond to the voice of "I want to speak Japanese".
Learning a foreign language is like walking a mountain without a map or rowing a boat on a big lake.
The target point is not clear, and the future is vague and ambiguous
Only the vast academic space spreads out in sight.
Foreign languages are difficult.
Presenting each type in the correct order, organized and organized in knowledge that would fill a library;
We are a guide for anyone studying "Japanese as a Foreign Language".
Now let's start studying.
Anyone can speak Japanese, but it is essential to spend a certain amount of time studying to learn it. It takes at least a month to start seeing changes in your Japanese, and before you can feel your skills improving. Stick with it for at least one season and study grammar and read.
I hope that acquiring Japanese skills will be meaningful for your career and that you will have an irreplaceable connection with Japan.
Japanese Language Learning Support will do its best to support those who come from overseas.
All the teachers are looking forward to the opportunity to see you in the lesson.
