*This is part of our 10 Week Weekday Evening Course, Advanced Speaking and Writing class.

Our popular 10-week Evening Japanese Courses are offered once a week on weekdays from 7 pm to 9 pm online.

*Please Note that our courses were previously listed as Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced classes. To better align them with offerings from other schools and programs, we have shifted to a new naming format. All content will remain the same.

• Beginner classes are now the WE100 category
• Intermediate classes are now the WE200 category
• Advanced classes are now the WE300 category

For first time students who have some previous experience speaking Japanese, we have developed a self-placement guide that will help you identify the course best suited to your current abilities. Please download and view it here.
