A few useful answers
Before you choose.
Which option is right for me?
Choose Foundation 150 if you are starting from zero and want a set course. Choose Customized 1-to-1 if you want lessons based on a specific goal, level or schedule.
Can I start with no Japanese?
Yes. Foundation 150 starts from the beginning, so you do not need any Japanese before you start.
Can I learn with a friend?
Yes. The Friends format is for two learners who enroll together and want to follow Foundation 150 as a pair.
Can I talk to someone before choosing?
Yes. Book a free video consultation and tell us your goals, experience and schedule. You do not need to take a test.
Not sure where to start?
