What is conversational practice?
Improving your Japanese proficiency requires regular practice opportunities. However, attending daily Japanese conversation lessons can be difficult. Therefore, Japanese conversation practice involves dedicating 10 to 15 minutes each day to speaking with an instructor.
In the case of the Wolf Plan:
-
55-minute lessons x 4 sessions
-
10-minute English conversation practice x 10 sessions
As a result, you will have the opportunity to engage with Japanese for up to 14 days a month!
Lesson Types
Basics:
Everyone needs to start somewhere! We will teach you the basics of Japanese starting from the alphabets: Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji as well as unique grammar composition.
Everyday Conversation:
There are courses available for beginners to advanced learners, where you can learn phrases used in various situations. Try using them for overseas travel or making friends!
Business:
You can learn business Japanese used in interviews, meetings, presentations, and more. In a globalized world, business Japanese is essential!
