What is the Kumon Japanese Language Program?

The Kumon Japanese Language Program is a learning method to help you acquire Japanese proficiency (reading, listening, vocabulary and grammar) that you can use in various settings in your daily life and work.

The grammatical skills and rich vocabulary, which you can gain by repeatedly reading and writing Japanese texts, will be helpful in every setting of your everyday life and work. For instance, this program will enable you to fill out documents requested by government offices or hospitals, to have good communication at work, to understand posters, signboards or guidance displays, and to read newspapers, and books.

Learning Method

  1. Self-learning in your native language

    With some help written in your native language (English, Portuguese and Chinese), you will acquire Japanese proficiency by repeating the practice of listening to the audio material, reading worksheets and writing on your own.

  2. Studying at your own level and pace

    As you will start studying at the level equivalent to your current Japanese skills, you will be able to enhance your Japanese proficiency steadily at your own pace.

  3. Firmly supporting the study of each individual student

    The instructors of the Kumon Japanese Language Program will assess your learning progress and help you motivate yourself to improve, in addition to grading your worksheets and giving advice accordingly.

  4. Two courses available for your learning. Choose either the "class" or "correspondence" course

    The "class" course is for students who wish to study at a Center while the "correspondence" course is for those who are too busy to go to a Center and wish to study at home. Please choose the course that suits you best.
