With a curriculum focused on adult learners with limited time, we have developed a method based on the modular learning approach. This allows learners to be in control of their learning, at their own pace, at their time.
Hi, I’m Shine.
I'm the founder and administrator of Hareneko Cram School.
In 2016, I studied Japanese as a language exchange student in Oarai International Exchange Academy. I graduated in 2018 and founded this school, initially as a hobby, as well as to reinforce the things I learned from Nihongo school. I work primarily as an English teacher in a public junior high school in Ibaraki and on my days off, I work on this school, continually improving the modules I have created to ensure maximum retention and understanding.
I will be your mentor through this course and I offer support via Line.
Module 1 Curriculum
Essential Japanese Language Course (25 modules)
This course is designed to be equivalent to a 150-hour classroom based Japanese course. This course is set to JLPT N5 level and will teach you the basic writing systems of Japan, as well as elementary level kanji. This is a fully online course with consultations and assessment every week to ensure understanding before proceeding to the next lesson.
JLPT Review Materials
We support students with acquiring an official Japanese language proficiency by providing review materials that will equip students with the needed preparations for the JLPT N5 as well as other equivalent Japanese language tests (J-test, NAT, etc)
Continue your Studies in Japan (Consultation)
For those who wish to continue to study the Japanese language in a fully immersive experience. We have a partner school in a quiet little town in the Ibaraki prefecture that will be able to accept students with the minimum N5 proficiency or has completed the 150-hour basic Japanese language course.
