ECC – Kokusai College of Foreign Languages
The ECC Japanese Language Institute, with locations in Osaka and Nagoya, has stood for high-quality Japanese lessons and a consistently practical approach to language teaching since 1962. The lessons are geared towards communication in everyday life: speaking and listening are systematically linked with grammar, vocabulary and kanji, so that you can apply what you have learned immediately. Experienced teachers, clear learning goals and modern methods ensure a structured, motivating everyday learning environment – supplemented by intercultural activities that promote exchange in an international community.
You can choose from short and long-term programs from beginner level to advanced levels; JLPT preparation and focuses such as Business Japanese are also optional. A placement test before the course starts ensures that you start at the appropriate level; depending on the course duration, support with the student visa is also possible. Thanks to the central locations in Osaka and Nagoya, you benefit from very good connections, a wide range of leisure activities and a learning environment in which you make rapid progress – whether for study, work or everyday life in Japan.

About the location
Osaka
Osaka is often called the “capital of the west”—the heart of Kansai and Japan’s second-largest urban area. Compared with Tokyo, people here tend to be more laid-back and outgoing, which makes it easier to meet new friends. Locals are proud of their Kansai dialect (Kansai-ben), but you’ll study standard Japanese in class so your skills work anywhere in Japan.
