In this article, we will discuss how at Japademy we offer the best Japanese language course in Toronto and the multiple factors that led our Japanese language school to this achievement. Let’s get into it!
How our Japanese language lessons in Toronto started
Before we talk about the significant factors, let us first discuss Japademy’s history and how we were able to offer the best Japanese language course in Toronto. Japademy was established in April 2020 during the first COVID lockdown in Melbourne, Australia. Due to the increasing demand for online lessons, Japademy’s teaching staff grew, and we started creating in-house content that included slides and handouts to provide students with an easy and efficient learning experience.
In September 2021, at Japademy we launched Japanese Video Courses on our website and Udemy to help thousands of people learn Japanese. This made Japademy the first Japanese language school to provide fully digital online access to video courses and live lessons with native Japanese teachers. After relocating to Toronto, Canada, in January 2022, Japademy started giving classroom lessons in Toronto, enjoying the live interaction between Japanese teachers and students.
Let us now move on to the different factors of how Japademy offers the best Japanese language course in Toronto!

Because of their qualifications in teaching Japanese, students at Japademy are ensured to have high-quality and effective Japanese education.
3) Teaching methodology and style
Japademy has an effective teaching methodology. Our teachers follow a structured curriculum wherein students are introduced to a new topic or grammar in each lesson. With this teaching methodology, students have the chance to master new topics or grammar by practicing them with the teachers. Japademy’s teaching methodology not just helps students learn Japanese but also helps them know about the cultural aspects of Japan.
Japademy’s teaching style combines the experience of our Japanese teachers with modern content. First, our lessons start with a mix of spoken Japanese and English which gradually turns into Japanese only as students progress. This is particularly helpful for students who do not know any Japanese words when they’re first learning, which will help them get the hang of the language. Additionally, we provide situation-based exercises. This will help students communicate in various everyday real-life situations and scenarios.
Moreover, at Japademy we teach a variety of practical vocabulary to students to help them communicate with native Japanese speakers. Lastly, Japademy is also into cultural emphasis. We love helping students learn about Japanese culture and customs to make their language learning journey even more exciting.
