JAPANESE CLASSES
Fun, Interactive Onsite or Online Japanese Classes
Japanese classes are a great way to learn Japanese and make new friends. Japanese classes, whether onsite or online provide an excellent learning experience with our teachers.
Our Japanese classes run slightly longer for 80 minutes, once a week. We believe this is the perfect class length (especially after a long days work). That being said, once you arrive for class you will instantly feel energised when greeted by our enthusiastic Japanese teachers.
We have a big focus on speaking Japanese in our Japanese classes. From your first class you’ll be participating in lots of speaking exercises and be amazed how quickly you pick up the language. Our Japanese class environment is exciting, motivating and challenging.

Japanese classes are ideal for absolute beginners – BEGINNER FORM. We also facilitate classes for pre-intermediate and above. If you’ve learnt before then we’d recommend completing our LEVEL CHECK FORM. Classes are conducted either Face to Face or Online from within our Nunawading classrooms.
We take a holistic approach with teaching Japanese. You’ll learn everything from reading, writing and speaking. Classes have a strong focus on speaking with writing more often assigned as homework (optional). Each weekly 80 minute group class is filled with lots of speaking drills, flashcard exercises and conversation practice.

JAPANESE CLASSES - teaching style
Over the years we've developed Japanese classes that are perfect for beginners through to intermediate. Japanese classes are conducted in 'native' Japanese with English (for beginners). This way you fully understand what you're being taught.
JAPANESE CLASSES - Teaching Method
Our teaching method is one of a kind. We have developed a very unique way of of teaching Japanese to English speaking students since 2013. With a combination of English and native Japanese, students always fully understand the content being taught in class.

This video was completely unscripted and recorded after approximately 2.5 years of study at Nunawading Japanese School. Jade started with us as a complete beginner.
B2 LEVEL VIDEO
This video was also completely unscripted and recorded when Matthew san was near the end of our B2 level. He also started at Nunawading Japanese School as a complete beginner.
Japanese classes are all facilitated from within our Melbourne classrooms. If you learn online, our teachers will teach you from Melbourne (not from overseas).
We teach Japanese in Japanese (with some English for beginners). This way beginner students can fully understand what we are teaching them in class. Once you progress in our course, we will run our Japanese classes mostly in Japanese. If you know it in Japanese, say it in Japanese!
As students learn more and more each month, classes gradually change more and into mostly Japanese. Once you understand what’s being said, it’s a great way to immerse yourself in the language. Of course you can still ask questions in English if you’re still unclear. As a beginner your limited to how much you understand so using English to establish an good foundation is a must.
Yes! All of our teachers are native Japanese and live locally in Melbourne. They are bilingual and have experience teaching Australians for many years. They understand the local culture, humour and it make the learning much easier and relatable.
