At LTL Osaka, we offer an immersive and effective way to learn Japanese. We have been dedicated to language education for many years, and now we bring our expertise to the vibrant city of Osaka — known for its friendly people, delicious food, and unique Kansai culture.
Our courses are designed to meet every student's needs. If you prefer 1-on-1 attention, our individual classes are tailor-made just for you. You decide what you want to learn, whether it's basic conversation skills, business Japanese, or preparation for the JLPT exam, and our qualified native Japanese teachers will craft the perfect curriculum.
For those who enjoy a collaborative learning environment, our small-group classes have a maximum of 6 students. This ensures you get plenty of speaking time and personalized feedback from your teacher. We offer both standard and intensive courses. The standard course is 20 hours per week, with 4 hours of study each day from Monday to Friday. If you're looking to accelerate your learning, the intensive course provides 30 hours of study per week, with 6 hours of daily classes.
We also have a unique Group + 1-on-1 course option. It combines 4 hours of group class for interaction with peers and 2 hours of 1-on-1 class per day, giving you the best of both worlds.
All our teachers are certified and have years of experience teaching Japanese. They use a variety of teaching methods, including multimedia resources, real-life scenarios, and interactive activities, to make your learning experience engaging and enjoyable. And the best part? You can start your Japanese-learning journey with us any Monday of the year, so there’s no need to wait for a specific enrollment period.
