THE TEACHING TEAM
All our Japanese teachers are bilingual in French and Japanese, qualified, and experienced. They use the ESPACE PROF method: dynamic lessons that emphasize oral expression and focus on correcting typical mistakes made by French-speaking learners.
Teachers who understand French speakers!

What our students say
The lessons were easy to understand and grasp. The fast pace allows you to learn a lot, but retaining it will be another story! Special mention goes to the hiragana and katakana writing class, which I had always found boring; it was greatly improved thanks to Yuki-sensei.
LUCIE B. BEGINNER
I've made tremendous progress, and my grammar foundation has been strengthened thanks to all the practice. We learned many grammar forms, and the listening exercises helped me understand Japanese at real-time. The teachers are really kind, attentive, and dynamic.
SOLÈNE J. ELEMENTARY 1
Having studied Japanese at university, I didn't have a solid foundation because you work independently. This stay allowed me to further solidify my knowledge, and I learned several new grammatical forms. The school textbook is much better than Minna no Nihongo.
