Japanese Lessons for Teenagers

Better grades at school and university, in Bangkok or online

Lessons start from where you are, covering speaking and listening along with the kana and kanji most students find hardest. Start with a free assessment.

Japanese courses for adults      Fun Japanese kids courses

AA lot of people come to Japanese through something they already love, and that turns out to be one of the best reasons to start. We teach secondary-level students from International, Bilingual and Thai schools, and wherever you are now is where your lessons will start.

Our general Japanese courses cover all four skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. Kana and kanji go in from early on, because that is what turns an interest into something you can really use. We teach the language alongside the culture it comes from, which in Japanese is most of the fun. Your teachers work with this age group every week.

Not sure where you are starting from? The free assessment is a relaxed conversation, not an exam, at any of our five Bangkok locations or online. Bring a parent if you like. You will leave knowing your level, with a study plan you can look through together. We would love to meet you.

Japanese courses for international, bilingual and Thai school students

International School Programme

For Japanese as an additional language

We teach students at international schools, borrowing from both Western and Japanese ways of teaching the language.

Lessons fit around your school timetable, including evenings and weekends, and we go at the pace that suits you.

Bilingual and Private Schools

General Japanese for all speakers

If you are already comfortable in two languages, we teach you the way we teach native speakers, so you spend more of the lesson using Japanese and less of it translating.

Two languages opens up more choices at university and at work, as long as both keep growing. We help make sure Japanese is one that does.

Thai Schools

From Starter to Speaker

Japanese here covers the conversation and the exam paper together. You should not have to choose between enjoying it and doing well in it.

A language you stick with does more than lift one set of grades. It changes what you can read, watch and follow without anyone translating it for you.

Benefits of studying Japanese

Why people start, and why they keep going

Shinjuku, Tokyo, in the evening

The Importance of Japanese

JJapanese is spoken by over 120 million people, and Japan is one of Thailand's largest investors, with most major Japanese companies keeping offices in Bangkok. But that is rarely why anyone starts. Most people start because of something they want to understand, and find out how useful it is later.

Tell us what you want from your Japanese

Manga, anime and games

Most people who start Japanese here started because of something they wanted to read, watch or play without waiting for a translation. That is a great reason! If you already care about the language you turn up, you pay attention and you practise without anyone asking, and the words you pick up from something you enjoy tend to stay. Our teachers are more than happy to work with that.

For Japanese-speaking families

Some of our students are native Japanese speakers whose families moved here for work. You speak easily at home, but kanji and written Japanese have fallen behind because the school day runs in English or Thai. Those lessons look quite different from a beginner course. We start from what you can already do and build the reading and writing up to match.

Studying Japanese at Modulo

Modulo has the best Japanese teachers. Every one of them is chosen carefully and experienced in teaching Japanese as a foreign language, and they are good at the part that matters most, which is getting a room of teenagers actually speaking. We offer our students individual Japanese courses tailor-made to their own personal needs and interests, as well as group lessons.

If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.

Easier to start than it looks

Three writing systems sounds like a lot, and then you learn kana in a few weeks and kanji arrive a handful at a time. The grammar is regular, with far fewer exceptions than English. Most people are reading their first real sentences sooner than they expected, and there are few better feelings than looking at a sign in Japanese and simply understanding it.
Whether you are just learning Japanese for fun, to learn more about the culture of Japan, or have a very specific target to aim for, we have the right course for you.

Japanese in Bangkok

With Japan being one of the top trading partners of Thailand, most large Japanese corporations have offices in Bangkok. That makes Japanese genuinely useful right here, as well as abroad. Bangkok has one of the largest Japanese communities of any city outside Japan, so you will find places to use it the same week you start.
