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.

The Japanese Language School (JLS) teaches Japanese at nine different levels, from beginning to advanced. Once a year JLS also 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 three times a year. All classes are conducted in the evening in the Society’s language classrooms. The Society is conveniently located near both the Farragut North and Farragut West Metro stations in downtown DC.

The teachers are all qualified native speakers of Japanese. The adult students are of various backgrounds and ages, but they all share an interest in Japan.
