Take classes-you won't regret it.
"かなみ先生最高です! I have been taking Japanese for a few year but never got past a certain level, Japademy let me go further than ever with Japanese and the classes are fun and engaging. The only negative is that I wish I had class more than once a week, the classes are so great I'm happy to be in them :)"

Impressed with my Japanese learning
"I decided to give it a go learning Japanese with Japademy after a friend of me recommended it. I just completed the level 1 of the 10 weeks Japanese course and I can confidently say that I'm impressed with what I learned so far. Definitely I will be signing up for the next level!"

I look forward to class every week. I can't believe I can finally read, write and speak Japanese!
"I have wanted to learn Japanese for so long! I've tried apps, Youtube videos, and self-instruction, but nothing ever really stuck. Now I think to myself, "wow I can actually read, write, and speak Japanese". Kanami-san is an amazing teacher and she really cares about her students."

A great curriculum focused on practical phrases
"I enjoyed the focus on constructing practical sentences for conversation like asking for your favorite hobby, asking for directions, and describing what someone else's opinion is.I am gaining more practical speaking knowledge than perfecting my grammar from a textbook."

Guidelines

Guaranteed best
Japanese online lessons

Active participation

Be actively engaged in the lessons, ask questions, and participate in discussions. Practice Japanese outside of your lessons to reinforce your learning. Take advantage of additional learning materials, such as textbooks, flashcards, and online resources.

Consistent schedule

Once you have selected the days and times to learn with your teacher, we recommend you to keep a regular schedule for your lessons to maintain consistency and progress.

Dedicated study space

Create a quiet and distraction-free environment for your lessons. Ensure you have a stable internet connection and compatible devices for your online lessons.

Effective communication

Communicate your learning goals clearly to your teacher. Share your feedback and concerns with your teacher to ensure you're getting the most out of your lessons. Don't hesitate to ask questions if you're unsure about anything.

Lessons start time

Teachers wait a maximum of 15 mins for the student to connect to the scheduled lesson, after that, the lesson will be counted as given. In case the student joins before these 15 mins, the lesson will be finished at the scheduled finish time.

Motivation and perseverance

Establish achievable learning goals to stay motivated. Acknowledge and reward your achievements to stay encouraged. Learning a new language takes time and effort. Be patient with yourself and celebrate your progress.

Public holidays

Lessons are conducted as usual during Public Holidays. If you wish to reschedule your lesson please provide notice as per our "Lessons rescheduling notice" guideline.

Rescheduling notice

If unable to attend or want to reschedule a lesson, provide at least 24 hours notice and it will be rescheduled. If no notice is received or it is received with less than 24 hours notice, the lesson will be counted as given. Lessons can be rescheduled a maximum of 2 consecutive times, otherwise, every unattended lesson will be counted as given.

Cancelations & refunds

We do not provide refunds for cancelled lessons. If you need a break we can keep your balance for purchased lessons for a maximum of 3 months. After that, the balance will not be refunded as the lessons will be counted as given.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know any Japanese to get started?

Not at all. Our native Japanese teachers can swiftly introduce you to the basics of the Japanese language even if you have never studied Japanese before. Moreover, as a student you will get free access to our pre-recorded video lessons, which allow you to start learning before the lessons start.

Will I learn with a native Japanese teacher?

Yes! All our Japanese teachers are native and fully certified as professional Japanese teachers. This sets us apart from other learning websites where teachers may be native but have not received official training for teaching the language.

How do I book a trial lesson?

After filling out our enrollment form we will find the most suitable teacher based on your availability and Japanese language experience. You will be given a 30-mins trial lesson with your allocated teacher.

How can I continue learning with my teacher after the trial lesson?

After your trial lesson you can guarantee weekly lessons with your Japanese teacher with a simple debit or credit card payment in your local currency. You can pay for 5 / 10 / 15-lesson packages.

What can I expect upon enrolling as a student?

Once you have secured your lessons by completing your payment, within 24 hours, we will send you an enrollment confirmation email along with access to our Japanese video courses and vocabulary flashcards. Also, we will send you an invitation via Google Calendar to join the weekly live lessons via Zoom.

How many hours a week do I need to dedicate to learning Japanese?

In addition to your weekly live lesson(s), we recommend you to dedicate at least an extra 90 minutes a week to study on your own. We provide you as a student with vocabulary flashcards and video lessons to review what you learned during the live lessons with your teacher.

Are there any additional costs, such as for books and other materials?

Not at all. We provide you with exclusive Japanese learning material created by Japademy. As a student, you don't need to purchase any books nor pay for the materials we provide you with.

Is there an age requirement to join the lessons?

Our Japanese online lessons are developed for learners who are 14 years old or older. For younger learners, we recommend exploring alternative learning options specifically designed for that age group.

What if I am not satisfied with my teacher?

You can have a free trial lesson which gives you the opportunity to meet your teacher with no commitment. If you are not satisfied with your teacher, we can allocate your to a different one more suitable to your learning needs.
