That’s no problem at all, because if you have previous knowledge, you will first take a placement test. Depending on the result, you will be assigned to the appropriate class.
You can learn Japanese at our language schools for up to 2 years without any previous knowledge. In the first 9 months you will work on the levels of the JLPT N5, N4 and N3. In the next 15 months, you will learn the content of levels N2 and N1 so that – provided you are diligent – you will be an expert after 2 years.
If you are traveling to Japan on a student or working holiday visa, you are allowed to look for a part-time job in Japan.

Of course, it is not compulsory to live in a hall of residence at the language school. You are also welcome to find your own accommodation for your time in Japan via Airbnb etc. If you are planning a longer stay in Japan and would like to look for a proper apartment of your own, we can take over the search for you and clarify all formalities with the landlord – however, we will have to charge you an extra fee for this, as it will incur additional costs for us.
If you contact us in writing by email, we will usually reply within a few hours. However, as soon as your stay in Japan begins, you can also reach your personal contact via Messenger (Whatsapp, Line).
