Conversation Focused Intensive Course
"I studied Japanese before, but never became able to actually speak the language."
We created the Conversation Focused Intensive Course for the many people who come to us with this problem. The top priority of the course is to improve practical conversation ability while providing fundamental sentence patterns and expressions useful for daily life. The ultimate aim of the course is for students to be able to communicate in the Japanese language. There are a maximum of five students per class. Having given lessons focused on conversation with small class sizes for many years, ILS can recommend this course with confidence.
