"Great for long-term study in smaller groups"

Tala F, študent z Japonsko

Genuinely enjoyed all of the teachers and particularly the conversation classes. The most negative part of my experience was the holiday-themed event lessons, which undermined my goal to take an intensive Japanese language course over winter vacation and instead focused on cultural customs and hands-on crafts. I appreciate the token nod to the holiday, but considering my timeline the two days of “no classes” for New Years were more than enough. I felt study expectations and prior knowledge required were left unclear during orientation and that the placement test is less than accurate. However, I did find Genki a valuable experience and I was impressed by the organized classrooms and consistent material. I wish I could have spent more time actively studying here without interruptions for holidays or holiday lessons. I would certainly recommend this school, particularly in smaller class sizes or private lessons.

"Fabulous 8 week experience"

Brandon Brookes, študent z UK

The classes were small so very great to talk to others and easy to hear the teachers. The teachers were very nice and easy to communicate to. the location was very convenient and easy to get to from the train station, the place i stayed was quiet however a tiny bit boring as i didnt know what to do at weekends.

"Well-organized and good teachers."

Cecilia Wirseen, študent z Švédsko

My daughter, 14 years, was very disappointed. She chose Pop culture because she likes manga and anime. The course description made it sound like that all Japanese teaching would be based on actice learning through pop culture. Hovever, all lessens were just ordinary japanese. The pop culture element constituted of a saturday activity that were traditional culture, not pop. The school was very nice to us and tried to compensate incl refunding. But, still, my daughter had great expectations of a three-weeks exposion to japanese pop culture which did not came true. The host family was wonderful and Fukuoka an amazing city.

"Short, but great experience at GENKI JACS, Fukuoka."

Susan Vasey, študent z USA

The only negative about my course at GENKI JACS, Fukuoka, was that I couldn’t stay longer. I was there for 2 weeks while most people in my class were there for 2-3 months, or longer. The teachers were all extremely personable, knowledgeable and excellent in their teaching methods.
The private apartment I rented was within an easy walking distance to the school and perfect for my needs. Even though I arrived on a Saturday night the check in instructions I received were precise and accurate.
Being a senior citizen, I did not participate in the extra-curricular activities organized by the school, yet I never felt out of place and actually went places and did things with other class members.
I would not hesitate to take classes again at GENKI JACS.

"Cool and serious school"

Maud RAUTURIER, študent z Francúzsko

First, Genki School's staff were really great. All of them were nice and helpful. They were all eager to help you in case of difficulty or questions.
The activities they offered were really interesting. I had a great time in Pop Lessons, for example.
The staff even helped me to find a Kyûdô school. I was able a to see a practice session and that was an amazing experience!

I like the teaching methods.
My first week was a bit hard because I arrived in the middle of a level and my classmates were in Japan for few weeks (even months) before. But after a week, it was all perfect again!
I learned a lot even if I stayed for only 3 weeks.
The teachers were all so nice, fun and serious at the same time, that the lessons were a real pleasure!

All in all, I had a great time there.
But, I have to say that I stayed in Japan in March. I heard that, at some periods of the year, the school is much more crowded. I didn't experience that.

"Unforgettable"

amélie lecompte, študent z Austrália

The school in Fukuoka is great
The location is not so far from a big station with buses, trains, subway. There were shops with pretty much everything, post office, ATM,arcades. It was also close to convenience store and cheap restaurants for lunch, just perfect
The school it self is not so big ( at least it's bigger than the one in Tokyo) but you will feel at ease and helped all the way no matter what I guess ( I asked them a lot and they've done as much as they could to help me with my requests)
The lessons were fun and we've change teacher every day which actually help us to practice and progress.
I've done cultural activities and it was fun, I don't have any regrets about choosing it I've learn so much about Fukuoka and Japan itself exactly what I was hoping for. I now want even more studying Japanese and its culture.
I've stayed at two different home-stay because I was alone the first two weeks and then I asked my family to come for the last two weeks so I had to change to a more spacious room (yes we manage to be in the same house).
I had a great time at my home-stay, an experience that I won't ever forget and I still talk to them and practice my Japanese.
I want to see them again. If I have the chance I would do it again for sure since I enjoyed my stay in Fukuoka so much. Everyone were great, the teachers were good and make you understand everything, as for the reception workers I owe them so much.

"Genki Jacs was an excellent learning experience as I expanded my knowledge about Japan and its language."

Yuet On Lee, študent z Austrália

I feel as though the culture classes could use more variation, especially the pop culture. However, the teachers could also be more consistent because each of them have their own personal teaching style. Otherwise, everything else was good.

"Excellent learning and life experience"

Moon Tsang, študent z Hongkong

The teachers are passionate and patient in teaching. These made learning enjoyable and interesting. When we encountered something unclear, the teachers were patient and cheerful in explaining to us. The staff there were very helpful; they provided information for our daily life, e.g. where to shop, swim, or see a doctor. Studying there was so warm and happy. One area for improvement though would be the class size; maybe if it could be limited to under 6 persons, it would be the best. The cleanliness of the dormitory I stayed is so-so; two cockroaches visited me.

"A good experience and atmosphere"

Jean-Luc Jirayut Prasopa-Plaizier, študent z Austrália

The school, classes and teachers were all wonderful. I had a great time and the atmosphere was friendly and not overly formal. The facilities and location were good. My host family was a little far away but I did not mind this too much. Overall it was a valuable experience.

The opportunity to stay with a Japanese host family is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the culture, and practice at "home" what you learned at school that day.

When arranging a host family for you, we try to take into account any needs or preferences you may have, such as smoker or non-smoker, allergies, English ability, and so on. Your host family can act as guides and mentors, friends and companions, and a wonderful resource in your adventure in Japan. They are likely to be the people you become closest to during your stay, which is why we work with a very reputable homestay provider that performs a thorough screening of all host family applicants, to ensure that they can provide a suitable environment to assist your learning and to allow you to fully experience Japan.

Umiestnenie školy

GenkiJACS sa nachádza v centre mesta Fukuoka, najväčšieho mesta v južnom Japonsku. Mesto má 1,4 milióna obyvateľov a jeho medzinárodné letisko z neho robí dôležitý uzol spájajúci Japonsko so zvyškom Ázie a ďalšími krajinami. Je teplejšie ako zvyšok Japonska a je jediným mestom v Japonsku s krásnymi plážami v meste, a to iba 10 minút od školy!

Škola je v samom centre mesta, v dochádzkové vzdialenosti od stoviek obchodov, reštaurácií, karaoke a všetkého, čo potrebujete. Sme umiestnení priamo nad jedným z najväčších manga / anime špecializovaných obchodov v Japonsku!

Spýtať sa otázku

"What could the students cover in 8 weeks at 20 hours per week?"

if the students are complete beginners at the start, generally it would not be possible to reach pre-intermediate level in just 8 weeks of study (and only 4 weeks in Japan). The general guideline is that completing beginner-level study (i.e. passing the high beginner Japanese exam) requires 500-750 hours of study, whereas their requested study program only includes 160 class hours. Even including roughly two hours of homework per day, this would still only be 240 hours, less than half of the minimum guideline. So it would be important to manage their expectation. For this length of study, it should be possible to finish the low beginner course, equivalent to completing the Genki 1 textbook: http://genki.japantimes.co.jp/about_en/about03_en. If they were to study for 30 hours per week, this would be 240 class hours. With 3 hours of homework per day (9 hours language learning per day, quite a tough schedule!), this would be 360 hours of study total, which would put them over halfway through the high beginner course. This covers most of the basics of simple Japanese for everyday life. Given that these students would be studying as a closed group, we would adapt
the materials to their needs, so I think it should be possible to complete the full beginner course (both low and high). This would be equivalent to passing the JLPT N4 level, defined as:
*Elementary Level*: The ability to understand basic Japanese.
*Reading*: One is able to read and understand passages on familiar daily topics written in basic vocabulary and kanji.
*Listening*: One is able to listen and comprehend conversations encountered in daily life and generally follow their contents, provided that they are spoken slowly.

"What is the expected level of fluency that these students would attain after 20 weeks? Would they be able to speak Japanese with some confidence?"

In 20 weeks, at 30 hours per week, this would amount to 600 class hours, plus at least another 300 homework hours, making close to 1000 study hours total. This would take them well into intermediate ability level, which means sufficient Japanese for daily life.

Bolo to užitočné? Áno

"Is it possible to book the homestay for a 14 year old student?"

Katrin katrin, študent z Nemecko
Koen Schilting, personál Wiracocha Spanish School

Yes, we usually do not allow minors to stay in any other
accommodation types except homestay, so private apartment will not be
possible. Additionally, they may only study at our Fukuoka school.

Bolo to užitočné? Áno

"Is the dormitory housing now also available in Fukuoka? Does it include meals?"

mahmoud jamjoom, študent z Saudská Arábia
Jose Aguirre, personál Cristobal Colon Spanish School

Dormitory in Tokyo means shared rooms (versus guesthouse/residence
offering private rooms). In Fukuoka we offer private rooms only (listed
as guesthouse/residence), mostly because accommodation costs are cheaper
in Fukuoka and most students prefer private rooms anyway. The main dormitory/residence that we use doesn't offer meals - they have
a fully equipped kitchen for student use instead. There is an option to hire a cook to go to
their dorm and make breakfast and dinner for them each day at a set
time. We would of course arrange a cook who can make food according to
their dietary/religious requirements. We've never done something like this
before, so it's tough to make an estimate of the cost right now, but it
should be possible to make it for roughly 1,500 yen per person per day
(both breakfast and dinner). For 20 students for a month (28 days), this
would be 840,000 yen total. Lunch would be from a shop, cafe or
restaurant around school.

"Does a Polish citizen need to apply for visa?"

Mateusz Kowalski, študent z Poľsko
Jose Aguirre, personál Cristobal Colon Spanish School

No problem for a Polish student to study 12 weeks - he will automatically receive a 3-month visa waiver
when he arrives in Japan. He can extend this for an additional 3 months by leaving Japan once (e.g. to nearbby South Korea), to stay for 6
months total.
