Japanese Language Class

At Lingo & Taiyo, we view language primarily as a tool for communication. Learning a new language not only expands your mind but also allows you to connect with new people who offer different perspectives.

You don’t need to be fluent in Japanese to experience the benefits. Simply trying to speak a few words in Japanese will prompt your conversation partners to make greater efforts to ensure they are understood in English.

Our lessons are designed for those who wish to delve deeply into the language. At Lingo & Taiyo, you will explore the Japanese alphabet and grammar in depth. However, if you’re looking for a lighter approach, another language school may be more suitable for you. We promise to help you progress from having no knowledge of Japanese to being literate in just a few weeks.

Of course, conversation plays an important role in our lessons, too. That’s why we offer small group classes that encourage interaction. Speaking is a valuable skill, and we will focus on it as it will help you communicate more fluently and quickly.

Lingo & Taiyo is an official test centre

As an official test centre for MCYS and MFA officers, we take pride in ensuring the quality of our courses and assessments. With this expertise, we can deliver a comprehensive program that enables individuals to master the Japanese language.

Small group classes

We limit group sizes to a maximum of 8 participants to ensure the quality of our Japanese classes. When classes are small enough to facilitate individual student-teacher interaction, a minor miracle occurs: teachers teach, and students learn.

Centralised location

Our Japanese language classes are conducted at United House, which is centrally located and accessible. It is just a 6-minute walk from Dhoby Ghaut or Somerset MRT station.

Five progressive levels

Finger licking good

Plenty of Japanese people celebrate Christmas, but the festive fare isn’t what you might expect. In Japan, it’s traditional to head to your local KFC on Christmas Eve. An estimated 3.6 million Japanese feast on the KFC Christmas Dinner and hours of queuing and ordering weeks in advance is expected. Some say turkey and chicken wasn’t widely available for the Christmas-curious Japanese, so Colonel Sanders stepped in to answer the demand…

I'm looking for a beginner class for my son /daughter / child

Thank you for letting me know that you are looking for a course for your child. It is beneficial to start learning from a young age, and in fact, children tend to absorb knowledge more quickly than adults. For some languages, we offer specific teenager classes, and depending on the age of your child, they can also join an adult class. Please contact us so we can work out the best solution for your child.

Do I get a certificate after completing the course?

Yes. Your e-certificate will automatically be emailed to you upon completing the course. If you prefer a hardcopy one, we are happy to prepare it for you at $5 each plus GST.

Is your certificate officially recognised?
Our certificates are in-house certificates to show that you have completed a certain level in our centre, but is NOT an official certificate recognised as an academic certificate.
Can I use a CEFR certificate to apply for a certain job?

CEFR is NOT an academic certificate. It is to benchmark your proficiency in a particular language. It definitely helps you to prove that you have a certain degree of proficiency and might or might not help you in your job application, depending on the company’s requirements.

Can I join a different class if I missed a lesson?

To maintain the original class size, we do not permit class switching for makeup classes.

If you miss a class, you have two options:

Option 1: Schedule a one-on-one make-up class with the Japanese language trainer for $50 (before GST) for a one-hour session.

Option 2: Choose to engage in self-study. Please note that to ensure the quality of learning, you are only allowed to miss two classes to progress to the next term. A maximum of two make-up classes is permitted.

Are there any exams?
Examinations are not mandatory and are conducted independently of the course. Should you require an examination or test, please contact us to arrange a suitable date and time. A fee of SGD200 plus GST applies for each 2-hour examination session.
What is a CEFR examination?
CEFR is NOT an official examination. It is to benchmark your proficiency based on the European Language Framework. This exam can be done in our centre. Please take note that different centres have different methods of assessing your proficiency, as there is no specific guideline on how to conduct such examinations. The CEFR is used in Lingo to gauge or benchmark proficiency. Still, it is not an official examination recognised by the Ministry of Education (MOE) or other authorities.
