Method
Every class is small-sized and multinational. Our
vivid and practical conversation lessons are not only
for learning practical conversational skills but also

cultural understanding between Japan and student's
own country is another goal in studying languages.
As Shibuya Language School is offering more than 10
different languages, it is one of the attractions
for foreign students to have many opportunities for
casual exchange with Japanese students.

courses is aimed at helping students learn practical
Japanese. Shorter term can be arranged if requested
individually. Each course has 9 levels from basic
to superative.

class soon. |
 I
first came to Japan two years ago with my friends.
It was only a 3-monthstay, but we had a wonderful
time. Nine months later, I graduated from Venezia
University and came back to Tokyo. Now I have been
living in Tokyo for one year and could pass the Japanese
Language Proficiency Test 2-kyulevel. So, my next
target is 1kyu. The lessons at SLS are quite tough,
but I am enjoying them. Teachers are kind and helpful
to every student. I am really grateful to my teacher
for cheering me up when I took the JLPT. (Laura Mossenta
from Italy)
