Questions before you begin
A few things
learners often ask.
Do I need to know my Japanese level?
No. Tell us what you have studied and what feels easy or difficult. We will help you find the right starting point.
Can complete beginners choose 121C?
Yes. Complete beginners can choose private lessons too. We can also explain how this option differs from Foundation 150.
Can I focus on more than one goal?
Yes. Your plan can combine priorities such as conversation, travel, work, daily life, or exam study.
Are the lessons taught by humans or AI?
Every live lesson is taught by a qualified Japanese-language teacher. Digital tools can help with practice and organisation, but they do not replace your teacher.
