Study smart, stay strong — JLPT 2026, here we come!
Register for our comprehensive JLPT N1or N2 Preparation Course taught by a certified native Japanese teacher, Tomoko. The course includes 20 lectures, each 120 minutes long, covering Kanji, vocabulary, grammar, reading, and listening.
My school is unique in that we use flipped learning. Students watch three videos a week before their lesson to study kanji, vocabulary, and grammar. Each lesson involves three quizzes, and then we review the content together afterwards. This allows for the promotion of knowledge and the creation of time for output.
Furthermore, lessons combine reading and listening comprehension. N1/N2 level reading comprehension involves many unfamiliar kanji and expressions, but by repeatedly practicing inferring and reading from the overall structure and context of the sentence, you will be able to understand the content.
Let’s conquer the JLPT together by July 2026!

［Jay & Tomoko’s March Monthly Event] Chill Keigo Practice
It would be great not only to be able to use honorific language correctly, but also to be able to use it appropriately depending on the situation.
This time, we practiced using honorific language to discuss a meeting date and time with a client over the phone.
Everyone who participated was very enthusiastic about answering the quiz questions, which made the event very exciting.
After that, we tried to have a conversation, and it was important to imagine the situation as we spoke.
If you weren't able to attend this time, please try practicing with this PDF.
Stay tuned for the next event in April!

![Talk Event: You Passed the JLPT. Now What?]
Thank you to everyone who participated on Valentine's Day, February 14th!
There was a lot of discussion about:
-Why can't I speak Japanese even though I know it?
-What does someone who can speak with confidence do?
-So, what exactly should I do to be able to speak?
One of the reasons why we can't speak is because of psychological barriers. We feel anxious and nervous when we try to speak.
We also feel we don't have enough practice, we don't have enough grammar or vocabulary, and we don't have anyone or a place to talk.
So how can we learn to speak without feeling the psychological burden?
Jay Paranjape Jay-kun seems very relaxed when speaking Japanese, and he recommends immersion learning.
Jay Paranjape （Jay-kun） says:
First, it's important to be exposed to Japanese in areas that interest you. Instead of memorizing Japanese, immerse yourself in it and get used to it. At the same time, it's a good idea to try to think in Japanese. I don't recommend always translating things into your native language.
Keita Okazaki Keita-sensei says:
For example, you may want to express your opinion about the "world situation" to a Japanese person, but you can't find the words to express it. However, reading texts about that topic and learning the vocabulary and expressions that appear will definitely improve your speaking ability. It is also effective to have as many opportunities as possible to actually speak and get feedback on the content from native speakers. For those who have few opportunities, it would be a good idea to use AI.
Finally, I'd like to add one more thing:
If you're someone who finds it difficult to keep up because the conversation moves too fast, I highly recommend shadowing.
Find a native speaker on YouTube or elsewhere talking about something you're interested in. Then, as soon as you hear him speak, start speaking.
This practice will improve the process speed of <listen> ⇒ <hold for a moment> ⇒ <play back verbally> and train the circuits that process Japanese as it is. Don't worry if you don't understand what is being said at first.
It was a lot of fun thinking together.
