Learn Japanese at Taiyo!
At Taiyo Japanese language school, we see the Japanese language first of all as a communication tool.
Learning a new language opens your mind, and it opens you to the possibility of getting to know new people with different perspectives.
You don’t need to be a fluent Japanese speaker to start to see the benefits. If you make an effort to speak just a few words of Japanese, your conversation partners will also double up their efforts to make themselves understood in English.
Our lessons aren’t an academic pursuit. If you’re to dive very deep into Japanese kanji, grammar or calligraphy, a different language school may be a better fit for you.
Of course, there is a place for grammar in the lessons at our Japanese language school, but grammar isn’t a goal in itself. We’ll cover it as far as it helps you to speak more fluently, faster.
Exercise and application is more important. To master spoken Japanese, you need to “do” more and “understand” less. That’s why our curriculum starts with the most common everyday subjects, such that even after your first week, you can start throwing out a few Japanese words on your Japanese boss or at lunch with your client.

phang Weikieng2021-12-22I would recommend Taiyo Japanese to my relatives/friends who wish to learn a new language like Japanese. The teacher was extremely nice and I had plenty of fun during my lessons. Thank you Taiyo Japanese for opening up such classes!
Ivory Lim2021-12-06i am having a 1 to 1 lessons with sensei. He is very professional and he knows my main focus is to strengthen my conversation skill, since the start of the 1st lesson, he has been very patient in guiding me through by speaking with me in Japanese throughout the whole session, engaging a casual conversation like talking to a friend. For the school, its has been a breezy session , when comes to consultation and exploring the courses. i do not need to waste my time doing research. Taiyo Japanese Language school has been a great help.

FAQ
Do you offer SkillsFuture Eligible Japanese courses?
Unfortunately, we are not able to offer SkillsFuture Eligible Japanese courses under the Taiyo name.
What is the best language to learn?
There is no easy answer to this question. It depends on which language you will likely be using most. Japanese may be a language for you to learn if you:
– Have a Japanese partner or relatives
– (Intend to) live or study in Japan.
– Have opportunities to connect with Japan professionally
– Have a strong interest in Japanese culture and language
How long does it takes to learn Japanese?
How well do you want to learn Japanese?
If you know little to no Japanese and join our Basic Japanese course, you will progress very quickly and see results in 5 months. In about 9 months, you won’t sound like a native speaker, but you will be able to hold yourself down in a simple, non-expert conversation.
Why learn Japanese for Business
Should I learn Japanese or Korean?
Korean and Japanese language are both highly influential. Which one to learn is a highly personal choice. There is no wrong or right, only wrong or right for you. Ask yourself which language will be the best fit for you, based on:
– Where you live, and which of the two you are most likely to use around you.
– Which countries you aspire to travel or relocate to in the future
– Which language interests you most, personally
– Which sector you’ll likely end up working in: Korean is very dominant in hip hop, arts and the culinary world, whereas Japanese can be expected to gain ground in finance, tech, anime, and any economic sector Japanese are active in.
Will your Japanese courses lead to a JLPT certification?
Yes! Our courses do prepare you for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. If you are aiming for JLPT 5, you need to complete Pre-Intermediate term 2. For further explanation on the rest of the JLPT levels, click on the link to download a detailed course outline.
Free Trial Japanese class
Every language school, including us, will ask you to make full payment before joining a Japanese course. We need to do that because we also have commitments to keep to our teachers. But as a student, it’s hard to sign up for something you haven’t experienced.
We believe in working only with experienced teachers in small group settings because we see how our students benefit from the personalised experience. This emphasis on quality comes at a price as well.
So if you wonder whether learning Japanese at Taiyo is for you, come and experience our no-obligation online trial class first. What are you waiting for? Join us now!
