Class Description

Identical to SNG's Study Abroad Intensive Japanese/College Preparatory courses, the primary difference is that the students enrolling in the 3-month course must obtain a visa without assistance from SNG, and are able to enroll one 3-month term at a time. Students in the intensive course are taught Japanese in Japanese from the very beginning, studying three hours a day, five days a week, for a total of "200" classroom hours per term.

Class Levels

Class levels are divided into 3-month terms, with all-around linguistic ability sufficient to pass the final exam of the previous level as a prerequisite for admission to each level. Students possessing Japanese proficiency sufficient to pass the exams for SNG's Intermediate 2 class may opt to enroll in SNG's Business Japanese or Tourism Industry Japanese classes. Likewise, once a year, from January to March, a Japanese Teacher Training class is also offered to students who wish to teach Japanese in their home country.

Classes Schedule

10 weeks per term, 5 days per week, 4 hours per day
(45min. classes followed by 10min. breaks)
