At Global Village we collaborate with you towards identifying your language goals, taking into consideration your availability and purpose for learning the language. Once you finish one level, you will proceed to the next level, and continue until you reach the final goal that best suits your needs. This is the reason why you may start your learning adventure at any point, worry-free, even for absolute beginners.

 

The Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) measures and certifies the Japanese language proficiency of those whose native language is not Japanese. Offered twice a year, comprehensive communicative competence is tested in three areas: Language knowledge (vocabulary and grammar), Reading and Listening; there are five levels (N5- elementary knowledge to N1-advanced knowledge). Our comprehensive courses and mock exams prepare you to ace the JLPT; following in the footsteps of many former Global Village students.

 

Global Village believes that while sharpening your linguistic skills is important, expanding your cultural knowledge is even more so. We want you to learn to navigate Japanese society by understanding manners and the range of appropriate behavior. In order to achieve this goal, Global Village offers special focus sessions, which aim at expanding the knowledge gained during your normal classes. Special focus sessions are independent, one day classes offered once a month, and focus on carefully selected topics.

Joint Lessons combine group lessons with private lessons for more effective learning. You may start the private lessons at any time, and they may be used up until the end of the month that your group course is completed (Private lessons : a custom-made curriculum just for you).
