In the program :

We distinguish between colloquial expressions and useful, polite everyday language. Each session combines review, exploration of a language point, and practical application.
My Japanese level is JLPT N2. These courses are designed for beginners and the first stages of learning.
English courses, in Toulouse, either in person or online.
First lesson — 1 hour: discussion about your objectives, discovery or identification of your basics, mini-lesson and guided dialogue, then review and proposal of a suitable path.
