Cours de japonais à Kobe
avec Lexis

★★★★★ 5 / 5

I did a basic Japanese course (A0) after learning with Duolingo until level 12. The course highly increased my speaking, listening and writing skills.

The learning atmosphere can be quite good but is depending on the other students. In general it is way more motivating to learn with others than alone.

You mask them about the course cycles (3 weeks / 6 weeks) and choose your stay based on this if you prefer a smooth start! Elsewhiles it can be quite steep.

It is highly recommended to know hiragana already before starting a beginners course. Makes it easier to understand and follow. The A0 course teaches you hiragana in first week and second week katakana. Alongside you learn basic grammar and vocabulary.

After a successful three week A0 course you can talk about place, time and direction. Furthermore you can have basic conversations about familiy, living situation, food/drinks and hobbies.

I studied for 2 weeks at Lexis Kobe at the Foundation- and A1-Level.

The city: Kobe gives you some big city vibes. There is a lot to see and do in a relatively small area. Being one of the first cities to open up to foreign traders you can find a lot of european influences without losing the japanese flair. Unlike Tokyo, Kobe feels more relaxed and the general English level is low. So if you are coming to learn Japanese, you will get a lot of exposure.

The school: From my experience at Lexis Kobe, I think that it can be the right choice to learn Japanese IF you want to learn the language for daily conversation and travel. In our classes we learned a lot of sentence structures in order to enable basic phrase-building. As described in other comments you will speak a lot during the lessons. I found this method to be helpful in getting accostumed to the language and breaking the barrier of talking to natives. The teachers structure their curriculum using one of the Marugoto textbooks and know enough English to help you with difficulties. I like that this school diversifies itself with this approach.

IF you are looking for a more traditional or academic oriented language course, then I suggest registering for another school. Just be clear on what your goals are.

That said, I left with the feeling of having improved my conversation skills and wanting to continue my studies. That is why I think, the staff did a good job.

Arigatou gozaimashita.

I recently studied at Lexis Japan in Kobe and greatly enjoyed my time there. My Japanese improved noticeably to a level that allowed me to communicate effectively with my teacher and with cashiers in shops. The teachers were friendly and approachable, which made the entire learning environment both effective and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Lexis to anyone looking to learn Japanese.
