- Start from your current level
- Focus on travel, conversation, work, study, or daily life
- Adjust the plan as your needs change
What you learn
The skills work together.
You learn the skills together, so you can understand and use Japanese rather than memorising separate facts.
Speak
Answer, ask, explain, and take part in real conversations.
Understand
Understand spoken Japanese at a level and speed you can follow.
Read
Start with kana, then move into useful words, messages and everyday reading.
Build sentences
Use grammar and vocabulary together instead of memorizing separate lists.
Use it outside class
Practise the Japanese you need for travel, work, study, and daily life.
How the course progresses
Each new point builds on what you already know.
Your teacher checks that you understand, gives you time to use each new point and then connects it to what comes next.

Curriculum questions
A few useful answers.
Do I need to know Japanese before I begin?
No. Foundation 150 starts from zero. Customized lessons can begin from any current level.
Are lessons taught by people or AI?
Every live lesson is taught by a teacher. Technology can help with practice and organisation, but it does not replace the teacher.
Does the curriculum only prepare me for a test?
No. Foundation 150 works towards N5-level readiness, but the main goal is Japanese you can understand and use.
Can my curriculum change as I progress?
Yes. Customized 1-to-1 lessons can change with your goals. Foundation 150 follows a structured sequence, while your teacher still responds to your pace and questions.
