New courses
Enrol for October 2026

Learn Japanese in London with ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ after:hours. Our Japanese language classes are open to adults from complete beginner to lower intermediate level, with evening courses designed to fit around work and other commitments.
Classes are taught in a friendly and supportive environment by experienced Japanese language tutors who also teach on ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s undergraduate language programme. Our courses develop practical skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing, with a strong emphasis on building confidence in everyday communication.
Beginners are introduced to essential Japanese vocabulary and grammar alongside the Hiragana writing system, while continuing students develop their reading and writing skills further through Katakana and more advanced language structures. As your Japanese develops, you will also gain a greater understanding of the cultural contexts in which the language is used.
Whether you are learning Japanese for the first time, returning to the language after a break or looking to develop existing skills, there is a course to suit your level. If you are unsure which class is right for you, our free language level check can help you choose the most appropriate course.
Our Japanese evening classes take place at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ in South Kensington, with courses running from beginner to lower intermediate level during the academic year. No previous experience is needed for our beginner course, and you do not need to be an ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ student or member of staff to enrol.
