Japanese Language Training for Businesses

In the globalized world, overseas companies have established bases in Japan, while Japanese companies have advanced overseas. In connection with this an increasing number of companies and organizations are providing Japanese language education to their employees, technical intern trainees, and local supervisors at overseas locations. Alternatively, by training one's "thinking ability," it is possible to acquire the ability to learn Japanese by oneself, so practical Japanese can be acquired even in a short period of time.

Features

A proprietary method for teaching Japanese in Japanese

At Renaissance Japanese Language Academy, you can reach your target level in about half the learning time that is typically required. That's because we use our proprietary method that enables you to understand "mechanism and usage" instead of adopting rote learning. We teach businesspeople Japanese values and the Japanese way of thinking, instead of Japanese language learned through rote learning.
