Learn Japanese & live in your private teacher's home around Tokyo with Home Language International!
Home Language International (HLI) is a family-run business offering language courses in more than 20 languages in over 30 countries worldwide, including Japanese lessons at an experienced private teacher's home in Japan. More than 5,000 students take advantage of our services every year. Ian Josephs, Danielle Josephs, their 5 adult children and an expert team of dedicated staff all put in very long hours for HLI.
You stay in an experienced teacher's family home, have one-to-one Japanese lessons and then continue to use the language during the rest of your stay in Tokyo. Because you are the only student, you are guaranteed individual attention. The lessons are completely designed for you, so the teacher will focus exactly on what you need. Mealtime conversation, television and social contacts are all in Japanese.
All of our teachers in Japan have a university degree (or equivalent) and/or a recognised teaching certificate. All teachers have been visited by one of our local organisers. Their qualifications have been checked and their homes throughly inspected. During your stay in Tokyo, a local organiser will monitor your progress and make sure your experience is both happy and successful.
Home Language International (HLI) is accredited by the Accreditation Body for Language Services (ABLS), Association of Language Travel Organisations (ALTO), and UNOSEL.
At LTL Tokyo, we offer an immersive and effective way to learn Japanese. We've been dedicated to language education, and now we bring our expertise to the heart of Tokyo.
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 in 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 fun. And the best part? You can start your Japanese - learning journey with us any Monday of the year, so you don't have to wait for a specific enrollment period.
Joining LTL Tokyo means becoming part of a vibrant language - learning community. We organize weekly social activities where you can practice your Japanese, make new friends from around the world, and explore the rich culture of Tokyo. So, if you're serious about learning Japanese and want to do it in an exciting and supportive environment, LTL Tokyo is the place for you!
