Why this course actually works
A complete CEFR grammar syllabus from A1 to C2 — taught in English, not a vocabulary game.
Grammar-first, end to end
A full A1–C2 syllabus where every structure is taught in order, on a board, with a teacher's voice — not scattered tips between mini-games.
Explained in English
You meet each rule in the language you already think in, then practise it in Japanese. Nothing is left to guesswork.
Five skills in one lesson
Grammar, reading, listening, writing and speaking are built into the same course, so what you learn on Monday you use all week.
Built so you don't forget
Smart flashcards and the Leitner system schedule reviews around your mistakes, turning short-term wins into long-term memory.
