What is Gengoya Study Club

Gengoya Study Club is something in between academic lesson and extra-curricular club activity with Japanese language and culture as the main topic. The club is prioritising the learner’s interest and utilising modern tools and context for the learning process. We aim for a balanced learning experience filled with good time, maintained motivation and academic learning.

Some of you might already know that our learning materials put heavy emphasis in illustration and design (http://gengoya.club/shop). We will be using those learning materials in our sessions together with other conventional materials.

Even better, you will get those materials for FREE when joining the club.

Custom Course Based on Your Interest
個人の興味に合わせたカスタムコース

We try to get to know you first then come up with a course plan that is suitable to your interest and study style. We believe each person is different and there is no study style that is perfect for everyone.

Study Percentage
語学と文化のバランス

We split Interest-based Context 60% and Academic Study 40% in our sessions. While this can mean to progress slower in terms of academic study, you will be on an exciting ride filled with cultural (interest) knowledge together with a small group of people. Sometimes we also have native guests that are related to the topic of interest to join our sessions.

Role-playing conversation practice
実践的な会話のロールプレイ

Ever wondered what to say when encountering a specific situation? Wished you know what to say on a past occurrence? Let’s create / re-create the situation and explore the appropriate conversation for that specific time!

Native guest conversation
日本人との会話

Sometimes, we invite native Japanese speaker guest to our sessions. We try to invite a guest that is relevant to your interest so you can expand your knowledge in the field that you are interested with while practicing to use your Japanese at the same time.

Language gaming session
言語ゲームで学ぶ

Many research has proven that interactivity can enhance learning process and games always contain one or more form of interactivity. We try to add productive language gaming activity in between our sessions to enhance communication skill while keeping the learning process going.

Fully Online
全てをオンラインで

Our sessions are fully online using modern tools and softwares to fully utilise the benefit of being online.

and other activities that might be applied to enhance your interest in the topic.

Suitability
向き/不向き

We believe that to be able to keep learning for a long period of time one needs to be motivated. Interest is one of the most common factors that keeps one motivated to learn, and our approach is leaning there. Without sacrificing your interest, we intend to teach and build a custom course that can go along with your interest while progressing at the same time.
