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 [May 2012] : A Foreign National Famous for His Japanese Puns

There is a non-Japanese person famous in Japan for his ability to make puns even though it's so hard. His name is Dave Spector. Dave is usually made fun of for coming up with bad puns, but amid all the dark discussion after the 3/11 earthquake, he kept making puns on Twitter that made Japanese people smile.
I think there are a lot of you who want more Japanese friends. Instead of just being good at Japanese conversation, it may be easier to make friends if you also know how to make them laugh.
It's boring to study vocabulary just for the JLPT, but it might make things a bit more fun while studying homonyms to also think about the humorous puns you might be able to make with them.
I think there are a lot of chances to tell Japanese people you talk to that you are studying Japanese and want to become better at it, but it may make the Japanese people you talk to smile if you say you want to be good at Japanese like Dave Spector. (If you really say it, be sure to let me know how people react.)
*Dave is also a businessman who sells Japanese television content overseas and introduces overseas television shows to Japanese television stations.
*Did you know that when he was little, Dave worked as a child actor in America and even appeared in a television commercial for Kellog's Corn Flakes?
