Japanese
Language School
The Japan-America Society operates the oldest and largest Japanese
language school for adults in the Washington DC area. Many of our students say that it is also the best. In a recent survey, 96% of our students said that they would recommend the Japanese Language School (JLS) to others. Students say they value the quality of instruction from our native speakers, the school’s convenient downtown location near two Metro stops, and its evening class hours.
In fall 2008, JLS revamped its curriculum to provide additional instruction at the intermediate and advanced levels. JLS also has expanded from three to four semesters per year (each semester is 10 weeks).
During the year JLS offers 15 different classes at four basic levels, from beginning to advanced. Once a year JLS holds preparatory classes for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT), which is recognized worldwide as the standard examination for determining Japanese language competency.
Class semesters begin four times a year. Classes meet once a week and are conducted in the evening in the Society’s language classrooms at 1819 L Street NW, conveniently located near the Farragut North and Farragut West Metro stations in downtown DC.
