Japanese Language Class: Damansara Utama

General Section

We suggest starting with Level 1, which is best for beginners to build a strong foundation.

Please contact the nearest branch to arrange a level check. If possible, bring your textbooks or study materials with you.

A level check is a process our teacher uses to assess the Japanese language proficiency of individuals who have studied Japanese before joining our classes.

You will be required to take a level check if you:

  • Studied Japanese through self-study
  • Learned Japanese at another school or language centre
  • Studied Japanese in the past but have since stopped

Please contact the nearest branch to arrange your level check.

The term ‘class levels’ refers to the different levels offered in our courses, while ‘JLPT levels’ indicate the proficiency of Japanese as measured by the JLPT exam. (Japanese Language Proficiency Test)

Sorry, we don’t.
