Osaka Japanese Language Academy

Osaka Japanese Language Academy is in Nagayoshi Nagaharanishi in Hirano Ward. Deto Station on the Tanimachi Line is the nearest underground stop, a short walk north of the school. Its full street address matters when comparing Osaka’s similarly named Japanese academies. The Association for the Promotion of Japanese Language Education identifies this particular campus as a provider of Japanese instruction since 2012.

Preparing to continue education in Japan

The academy describes its own curriculum for learners planning to enter college or graduate school or use Japanese at work. The association lists a two-year college preparatory course and identifies previous formal schooling or its equivalent among the admission requirements. This makes the course especially relevant to an international student intending to progress from Japanese language study into a longer programme in Japan.

The school provides information on a student’s daily routine, the sequence of study and the yearly calendar. These details can help a learner understand how a long course fits around the practical demands of living in Osaka. The academy also describes support with daily life. A prospective applicant can compare the academic calendar with the application season of a target college and ask which parts of the preparation are taught in their intended group.
