Japanese 1

Japanese is the official language of Japan. It is also widely used by communities of speakers in Hawaii, Peru and Brazil, and learnt as an additional language by large numbers of students in the Republic of Korea, China, Indonesia and Australia.

In standards and content, courses are comparable to those offered in day school language classes, and follow a standard course design. Our face to face classes for students in Prep-12 are held out of school hours in metropolitan and country/regional Centres of the VSL.

Japanese courses offer a unique opportunity to learn a language spoken by over 130 million people and explore the rich culture and history of Japan. With its complex system of honourifics and hierarchical nature, Japanese is an intriguing and rewarding language to learn.
