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.

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 [Jan 2011] : What is Wakyou?
Suzuki Ichiro, playing in the Major League in America, made the following comment in an interview.
In Japanese baseball, the players gather and practice starts with running and warm-up exercises. But in the American Major League, when players gather, practice starts with defense and batting. Running and warm-up exercises are considered a given, with each player taking care of that by himself ahead of time. The level of professional awareness is different.
The difference in level of professional awareness is definitely one reason for this, but I think there are other reasons. Whether the individual or the group is emphasized is a major theme in many discussions of differences between Japan and the West, and Japan definitely places importance on group activity, so I think this is another reason for it. I also think the difference in evaluation methods is another reason. Strictly speaking, this is a difference in how thoroughly merit-based systems are utilized.
Although there are many cases where a merit system is implemented in Japan, there are plenty of cases where it is not implemented very thoroughly. That's why even valued players and employees engage in this type of group activity to a certain degree. There is also the aspect that this type of activity has beneficial effects from a teamwork standpoint.
I won't get into a discussion of which culture is better or worse here, because that's a matter of personal opinion and what matches or doesn't match each individual's preferences.
However, there is one thing I'd like to tell everyone. Even in Japan, there is a recent trend toward placing more importance on the individual over the group. The word KIZUNA (emotional ties between people) has been under close consideration since the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11.
More and more importance is being placed on the connections among family, friends, and people living in the same region than ever before. There's no mistaking that valuing KIZUNA is a fundamental Japanese value as expressed by the many people who lost everything in that historical disaster, from beloved family members, friends, houses where they grew up, and even their entire living environment.
Well, the New Year has started. J-OS will continue improving its services with a high level of professional awareness, while valuing KIZUNA.
