Here are some comments from our students;
Mr.Michael Scheuner |
I have been studying with J-OS for about 3 months now. In this time, thanks to Ms. Yates, a skilled and highly professional teacher, my knowledge of vocabulary, kanji and grammar increased considerably, although i'm only taking 2 lessons a week. Nevertheless it's mandatory to invest a certain amount of time to keep the learned in memory. The teacher helps here with giving, correcting and reviewing a sensible amount of homework. I came to appreciate the geographical mobility that comes with learning over the net. Usually i'm at home when conducting classes, but in the case i'm busy at work, i can just fire up skype at my office-computer and take the lesson from there. There is no need to ,,, ---more |
Mr.Mark Ribble |
I absolutely love the service you offer. J-OS has been the solution to my problem of not having access to any Japanese classes where I live. One on one teaching is always the way to go if you have the opportunity. So I like this much better actually than a class environment because I'm able to learn faster. I would definitly recommend J-OS to anyone who is just starting or someone who is advanced. Domo Arigatougozaimasu J-OS!!!! Also a special thanks to my teacher Takenaka Sensei.:-) ,,, ---more |
Mr.Robert Baruch |
Aside from a few phrases, I am a complete beginner in Japanese. There is nothing like having one-on-one live lessons for language learning. My main problem was finding a Japanese teacher locally that would teach during evening hours. Through J-OS and Skype, I suddenly had available to me any registered teacher anywhere in the world. And I don't even have to drive to a classroom, and my teacher is fluent in English,,, ---more |
Mr.Paul |
Japan Online School is a time effective way to learn Japanese. You have the advantages of individual instruction without the inconvenience of travelling to meet your teacher.In a classroom situation I feel that a lot of time is wasted by copying information from a whiteboard/blackboard. I like the fact that with the online lessons I can just "cut and paste" my teachers notes. Simple. I also like the fact that I can do the lesson ,,, ---more |
Mr.Franz |
I was very impressed by the learning experience, as I had initially thought there may be some drawback in on-line learning, such as lack of contact or crossover talk due to connection speed, basically leading to an ineffective lesson. Quite the contrary, even when abroad on business trips in Europe I still find the exchange fast enough to pace through the lessons at my own speed rather than that of the Internet connection. Ueno-san, the ,,, ---more |
Ms.Emma |
I really enjoy taking lessons with J-OS. I have a very busy working life and I love the fact that I can come home, grab a cup of coffee and study Japanese from home. I have studied Japanese for a while and I really don't enjoy group lessons as it allows me to be lazy if I am tired. However, the one-on-one style at J-OS really allows me to focus and gives me very personalised and appropriate lessons so I feel like I learn a lot ,,, ---more |
Mr.Justin B |
I strongly recommend J-OS. My teacher is fantastic and lessons are built around whatever you want to study in that session. Also, I move around a lot - I've lived in three different cities in the last six months. J-OS has allowed me to keep studying Japanese with the same teacher throughout all my crazy moves, which would have been impossible otherwise. As you can tell, I'm very happy with the lessons I have here - I'm sure ,,, ---more |
J-OS news [July 2010] : Top 10 Things You Should Do In Japan
No.10 - Try speaking Japanese
This is probably No. 1 for all of you, right?
No.9 - Go to a sumo tournament
As I mentioned before, I also recommend going to see the sumo practice.
No.8 - Belt out some karaoke tunes
There are plenty of foreign songs available recently, so I think you’ll enjoy it. Even if you’re a bad singer, just go for it. You can usually have fun for 1,000 yen per hour or less.
No.7 - Ride the bullet train
This is recommended for people who have never ridden the Eurostar or TGV in France.
Reference information : YouTube : Visitors who are surprised by bullet train.
No.6 - Eat at a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant
If you go to a family-oriented conveyor-belt sushi restaurant, there are many interesting contraptions for children to enjoy. If you want the best sushi, I recommend a regular sushi restaurant, but there are delicious conveyor-belt sushi restaurants, too.
Reference information : Youtube : You can see the bullet train in a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant?
No.5 - Lose yourself in Akihabara
If you’re interested in sub-culture, such as electronic products, manga, and anime, don’t miss visiting Akihabara. The Maid Cafe is not just for geeks and nerds (otaku). You’ll definitely enjoy a visit if you go with friends. Women will like it, too, of course.
Reference information : Youtube : Maid Café’s new services
No.4 - Play in a pachinko parlor
Pachinko in Japan is like playing slot machines in Las Vegas. You won’t seem out of place if you go with someone who knows how to play Pachinko.
No.3 - Spend a night in a love hotel
How did this get ranked No.3?
No.2 - Bathe naked with your mates
Hot springs and public baths feel really good, but be sure to learn proper bathing etiquette before getting in.
Reference information : Taking bath in Japan
No.1 - Climb Mount Fuji
You can enjoy beautiful scenery even if you don’t go all the way to the top. You can only climb Mount Fuji in July and August, so be sure to research all necessary information beforehand. By the way, Mount Takao is another mountain near Tokyo that has become popular lately. Both Mount Fuji and Mount Takao are crowded on Saturday and Sunday, so weekdays are recommended.
Here are some other recommendations that were not ranked:
-Stay at a Japanese inn.
-Wear a kimono.
-Visit the Tsukiji Market
Recommendations vary depending on a person’s tastes, so feel free to ask your instructor or myself if you have any questions.

===== Hint for Studying Japanese (from Iijima Sensei)
Review is extremely important, so I’m going to give you three effective methods of review. Note that vocal production is a key point of success with each method.
(1) Review three times per day
Review the same material three times per day, morning, noon, and night.
(2) Review three topics per day
If you review three topics per day as given below, you will review the same topic three times.
1st Day> Review No.1, No.2, No.3
2nd Day> Review No.2, No.3, No.4
3rd Day> Review No.3, No.4, No.5
(3) In Lessons
Lessons are the perfect time to review and actually use Japanese with your instructor.
