What's the difference between the intensive & regular semester?
The standard 6-week semester for adults offers a steady, traditional pace for mastering the foundational material. In contrast, the 4-week summer intensive for teens accelerates the schedule, requiring more independent study time to match its fast-paced curriculum and immersive field trip experience.
Workshops, field trips, and more!
Classes for Adults

This evening course picks up where Japanese 1 left off.

Conversational Fluency: Master natural exchanges for travel, shopping, and everyday social interactions.
-
Applied Communication: Develop the core grammar and vocabulary required to handle practical, real-life situations.
-
Expanded Literacy: Advance your reading and writing skills, with a new focus on identifying and using more Kanji in daily contexts.
-
Cultural Competence: Gain the essential polite expressions and cultural insights necessary to navigate daily life with confidence.
Participate in immersive lessons that bring tradition, culture, and real world conversational experiences to life! Engage with classroom content by fostering skills that will help cultivate understanding and nurture authentic cultural connections inside and outside of the classroom.

Designed for busy adults balancing work and school, these evening sessions were built for accessibility. We centered the experience around hands-on interaction, ensuring everyone had the time to fully engage with conversational Japanese and foundational literacy while exploring the rich, lived reality of Japanese culture right here in Central Florida.
