| School Outline and Education
Method
The Hiroo Japanese Center was established on September
1, 1984 and is accredited by the Japanese Government.
Since then its school has been admitting only students
from U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Canada and European
countries. The reason why the school has never admitted
Chinese and other Asian students is stated as follows.
Firstly Chinese and Korean people are familiar with
Chinese characters, therefore students from other
countries are handicapped if they study with Chinese
and Korean people. Secondly the grammar of the Korean
and some other Asian language is quite similar to
Japanese. Therefore those people can easily and quickly
master Japanese. On the other hand, Western people
are required to spend much more time studying the
Japanese language.
Lesson Features
Students who can speak English are especially suited
for language classes at Hiroo Japanese Center. Our
goal is to assist students with no background in Kanji
to obtain a logical, systematic and effective understanding
of the Japanese language by the following method.
(1) Using English in all beginning level courses in
order that students may easily comprehend what is
being taught. (2) All classes are limited to 5 students.
About Activity
Volunteer students and teachers organize 1-day excursions,
such as visiting museums and sightseeing at various
tourist spots. |
