There are many people in Japan and in their home countries who would like to work for a Japanese company or do a job that utilizes Japanese language skills. So what kind of Japanese speakers are in demand in Japan and around the world today? It is not just people who can speak Japanese that are in demand. What is needed is not just someone who can speak Japanese, but someone who has experienced Japanese society and understands Japan and the Japanese people. Studying abroad is the most ideal way to understand and acquire the rules of life, common sense, and manners through living and interacting with people as well as the language. MANABI Japanese language institute Nagano Campus offers many opportunities to interact with Japanese people throughout the year through exchange classes, volunteer activities, participation in festivals, etc. It is also an ideal environment to concentrate on your studies. All of us at MANABI will support you to have a fulfilling study abroad experience.

MANABI Japanese Language Institute aims on training Japanese "practical skills". For "practical skills" to be trained we will develop a curriculum that will emphasize more on the basics (beginner level), we will also boost the command capability and accuracy while balancing and improving the four skills. In addition, to be able to smoothly move to the intermediate level we establish repetitive learning for students from non-kanji countries. "Practical skills" means getting good results in Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) and Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU). For Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) we conduct intensive review classes and develop practical thinking skills 1 month before the exam. For Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU) we do not only conduct Japanese classes but also basic fundamental subjects (general subject and mathematics). The staff will provide our utmost support for students to be able to devote themselves in studying Japanese with a peace of mind.
