Student voices

We'd like to thank all these students for sharing their experiences at our online Japanese school.

“I have the freedom to choose the time that matches my personal schedule.”

This gives me more time to relax and learn at my own pace. Also, the quality of lessons is very good! The teachers are of high caliber also and knows the grammar very well.

“I have noticed that my conversational skills have significantly increased.”

Thanks to all of the wonderful Japanese teachers at the Japanese Online Institute I was able to pass both JLPT N5 and N4. I am currently working towards JLPT N3.

“The software is intuitive and it seems like we are in a classroom with other students from all over the world.”

I love this kind of diversification which you won't get in a physical class. I personally love the human touch added by the teacher and how each lesson is also a way to discover Japanese culture.

“My classmates have been wonderful.”

The class schedules have been very convenient and it's great to do it from home. Besides it being extremely convenient the teachers are just amazing! Each has their own style and they teach content a little differently.

“I enjoy the variety of different classes JOI offers.”

The teachers are patient, friendly, and are always helpful even when I'm stuttering out terribly formed sentences and resorting to hand gestures to get my point across. Being a busy full-time student, JOI classes are currently the only Japanese classes I take each week.
