Our introductory Japanese course is ideal for students without any prior knowledge of the language.
DurationSince Japanese is unrelated to English, learning it is a big job. You will want to learn the three writing systems: hiragana, katakana, and kanji, the characters imported from China. Japanese has imported thousands of words from English; many of them have been adapted and will at first be unfamiliar (e.g. terebi comes from "television"), but you'll soon begin to recognize them.
There is good news, though! You don't have to worry about whether nouns are masculine or feminine. Pronunciation is not too difficult: there are only five vowels, all of which sound familiar to English speakers, and almost all of the consonants are similar to English sounds. Unlike in Chinese, you don't need to worry too much about tones.
Studying in one of our small group classes, you can easily make a lot of progress. Our enthusiastic and patient Japanese teachers will guide you through this fascinating language, while also teaching you about Japanese culture and traditions.

Study at Hansa
Whether you need private instruction or prefer learning in a small group setting, Hansa Language Centre creates the ideal environment for language studies. Our English programs are based on the principle that students learn best in a language program that can be customized to their unique linguistic needs and goals. Hansa uses a "Flexible Learning System" and offers over 300 classes daily.
Students have the freedom to choose the classes they want and the time they want to take them. Hansa students benefit from the advice of experienced counselors, the instruction of accredited teachers, and the choice of a variety of subjects. Upon arrival at Hansa Language Centre, every student takes a placement test and undergoes an interview with one of our student counselors.
The placement test evaluates grammar, vocabulary, and reading comprehension skills. The interview assesses the student's speaking and listening abilities and helps us design the best study program for their needs. Students meet regularly with counselors to discuss their study program and progress.
Follow-up tests and interviews are scheduled to monitor progress and determine when class changes are needed. After successfully completing an English program at Hansa, many students go on to take Hansa's programs for Academic Preparation, (TOEFL or IELTS) Exam Preparation, or Teacher Training.
Many also choose to further their studies at one of Hansa's partner language schools, high schools, colleges, or universities. By using Hansa's "Flexible Learning System" and following the "English Only" policy, it's common for students to achieve a university-level English proficiency within months.
