HIA Japanese-Language Courses

HIA holds two Japanese-language courses to help foreign residents of Hyogo Prefecture learn a level of Japanese that is useful in everyday life so that they can take part in social situations.

The first of these is the Japanese Course for Foreign Residents, which helps students to systematically understand and build up their knowledge of grammar. This course is held twice annually in the spring and fall.

The second is the Immediately Usable Japanese Course, a practical, intensive course which helps students increase the activities they can do in daily life. This course is held for a month in summer.
