Choose your milestone
From first kana to academic Japanese.
JLPT and NAT-TEST are different exams with different score reporting. We prepare the shared foundations and help you choose the exam that fits your Japan plan.
Understand basic Japanese in familiar daily situations.
Follow everyday conversations and read familiar topics.
Understand complex texts and natural-speed conversations.
Understand nuanced Japanese across varied contexts.
*Study-hour ranges are planning estimates, not exam requirements. Prior knowledge, kanji background and study intensity change the route.

Questions, answered
Start with the right level
Does JLPT include speaking?
No. JLPT sections are Language Knowledge, Reading and Listening. Our classes add conversation and interview practice because those skills matter for daily life and applications.
Are JLPT and NAT-TEST the same?
No. They are separate proficiency tests. Their levels and score reports should not be treated as identical; check the specific requirement of your school or pathway.
