We interviewed a student who is taking the Beginner 1 level of the General Course online from the UK in the January 2021 term. The class is a hybrid, so there is a mix of face-to-face and online students, but they seem to really enjoy the class. Please take a watch.

Optional class for JLPT N2 preparation will open! Non-KAI students are also welcomed.  The application deadline is 22 March. Please contact us ASAP if you are interested!

In response to the spread of the COVID-19, KAI Japanese Language School held classes completely online from April 2020 until the summer. KAI had been using the original digital teaching materials and iPads for the general courses for some time, so the transition to online was relatively smooth. Both of the two students we interviewed this time went back to Taiwan on a temporary basis and took online classes from there, but there didn’t seem to be any major problems. Please listen to what they think about Kai’s online classes.
