Study Japanese in Japan - Sapporo Language School

Contact Our School

SIL Sapporo Nihongo Gakko:
Our warm and friendly school is based in Sapporo, north Japan. Sapporo is a metropolitan city of 1.89 million and the fifth largest city in Japan, is the governmental, economic, and cultural center of the prefecture of Hokkaido offering a wide variety of educational and recreational opportunities. What sets Sapporo apart from other major Japanese cities are its low cost of living and its small foreign language-speaking population. This is beneficial as it makes staying in Sapporo relatively inexpensive, and the necessity to communicate in Japanese reinforces classroom training.

Students of SIL have included people from over 30 countries studying at national and private universities, along with employees of language schools, various companies and public institutions. SIL also trains teachers who wish to receive their certification in Japanese language instruction.

Teachers:

The SIL staff is comprised of trained and dedicated instructors who wish their students to experience the Japanese language in its cultural context. Although SIL instructors are able to answer a student's grammatical questions in English when necessary, the SIL method stresses the importance of attempting comprehension in Japanese first.

Courses:

Short Intensive Japanese Courses; 3 Months Intensive Japanese Courses.

Testimonials:

I found the classes at SIL very intensive and challenging. I received individual attention when I was behind and the teachers were always open to questions. When I returned to my town, everyone was impressed with my much improved Japanese. I liked that all aspects of the Japanese Proficiency Test were covered and studied. The teachers made the learning environment a fun one. For these reasons, I recommend SIL Nihongo Gakko and plan to return next summer.

Accomodation:

Homestay with a Japanese family can be arranged upon request. Demand is high, so please apply early. Help with finding an apartment or boarding house is also available.

Sapporo:

Sapporo is the capital city of Hokkaido which has over 1.7 million population. Sapporo attracts many travelers through the year. Sapporo Snow Festival is held in February and is well-known internationally. Also, in summer when other parts of Japan are hot and humid, it's cooler and more comfortable in Sapporo. Another good part of visiting Sapporo is its food. The area is famous for its fresh seafood, BBQ, beer, ramen, and more. Visit this beautiful city in northern Japan.

Genki Japanese & Culture School
Courses / Programs
Genki Japanese & Culture School (GenkiJACS) was created to be one of the first Japanese Schools in Japan teaching communicative Japanese for everyday life, rather than academic Japanese for higher education. All aspects of our schools in Fukuoka and Tokyo are organized around this central philosophy.

We run multiple programs and events to help our students make friends with Japanese people, and that is why our classes are by far the smallest of any accredited Japanese Language school in Japan.

We adopt our lessons to the needs of each student, while keeping them practical and interesting, to give you the skills and confidence for success.

Classes involve real-world situations, guest instructors, field trips and more, and the small size of our schools means you will have plenty of time to talk with the teachers both inside and outside of class.
Intensive Japanese Language Courses:

1) Standard Japanese
2) Japanese+Conversation - Adding five group lessons per week focusing on specialized communicative Japanese.
3) Japanese+Traditional Culture - Gives you an opportunity to learn about the culture.
4) Japanese+Pop Culture - Combines fun visits to local pop culture hotspots. Study though manga, anime and music.
5) Long-Term Courses (6 month to a Year)
6) Visa Course (1 year)
Student Visa Course allows you to study the language for a year or more.
