At KIZUNA, we believe that mastering Japanese involves not only language proficiency but also a deep understanding of cultural values and social practices. Our thoughtfully designed curriculum builds your language skills from vocabulary to advanced expressions while fostering a strong grasp of Japanese customs and etiquette. To enhance the learning experience, we utilize picture cards and animations, making it easier for students to visualize the meanings and uses of words. This approach allows learners to deepen their understanding while enjoying the process, ensuring a more effective and engaging journey in mastering the Japanese language.
Our curriculum highlights:
• Vocabulary Mastery:
Students learn the "form," "sound," and "meaning" of new words, ensuring a practical and lasting vocabulary for real-life use.
• Sentence Pattern Understanding:
Through contextual learning, we explore "scenes" and "situations" where sentence patterns are commonly used, helping students express themselves naturally in Japanese.

Beginning with hiragana and katakana, we guide students from reading to writing, setting a solid foundation before introducing kanji.
