This tuition does not mean learning a language, but also getting to know a culture. Thus, there are times we go to some Japanese cultural events together.

Speaking, listening, reading and writing are practiced in situations based on real-life, using authentic texts.

This tuition is oriented to topical and inter-cultural subject matter. Especially for those who are advanced learners, themes based on regional culture, projects and research tasks provide a variety of opportunities to approach the subject of Japanese-speaking culture.
