Free Japanese Lessons at Greenwich Campus & University Campus, University of London
We give Japanese lessons for free as the teachers are all trainees studying at IIEL. In the past, a number of people took part in the lessons and gained more than what they had expected.
You can join even without any knowledge of Japanese as a beginner. This free Japanese lesson will give you the opportunity to know Japanese as a first step. If you already learnt the language and would like to brush it up, we have post beginner, elementary, intermediate and advanced classes as well. If you are not sure about your level, we give you a free level check so that you can join an appropriate class.
We are currently holding Free Japanese Lesson at Greenwich Campus Charlton House and University of London. If you are interested in this course, please contact us or simply download a registration form and send it back to us. You can join a course even after it has started. Please note we require compulsory registration fee £20.00 (non refundable) but all the courses are totally free.
