| The school location – easy to access, easy to explore |
|---|
Asahi Nihongo is located between Akasaka and Tenjin station – a perfect spot to start your tour through Fukuoka City. This is Fukuoka’s most exciting place because the busiest areas like Tenjin, Oyafuko street, Daimyo and Imaizumi are just a short walk away. You can also easily access department stores like Parco, Iwataya and Big Camera. In the Daimyo area, you can find a lot of small and stylish shops, bars and restaurants. We recommend Oyafuko and Nishi street for Karaoke or for just having a good time.

We mainly use the “Nihongo So-Matome series of study guides”. Nihongo So-Matome is a well-structured book series that covers all JLPT levels with exercises focusing on grammar, vocabulary and Kanji.
In addition to Nihongo So-Matome, we also use the the Shinkanzen Master series of JLPT preparation books.
| JLPT Teaching Method |
|---|
The main focus lies on reading and listening comprehension as these are the most important parts of the test. During our JLPT Preparation Course, students will learn how to find relevant information through the techniques of fast-reading and looking for key words. Every week, there is a short test to evaluate the progress of the students and every third Saturday, there is the possibility to take a mock JLPT test under real conditions. Students have individual consultations with their teachers to find out in which sections they should improve to pass the test successfully.
| Weekly Schedule |
|---|
Lessons are from Monday to Friday and we use the weekend for day trips around Fukuoka. You will receive the latest schedule every Friday. We try to have lessons in the morning from 9:00 to 12:15 Lesson (first group) to keep the afternoon free for activities. However some times it is also possible that you will have lessons from 13:00 to 16:15 Lesson (second group). Every Wednesday and Friday, we organize a Free Talk Time from 18:00 and a Kanji Class from 17:00. On the first Monday of every new course, we do an Orientation and City Tour with our new students.
