School description

Fukuoka JaLS (30+)
Study in Japan for adults in Fukuoka,
where the city and nature are in beautiful harmony.
Fukuoka Campus is a Japanese language school for adults over 30 years old. While maintaining the features of the JaLS GROUP such as ‘small class sizes of up to 6 students per class’, a wide variety of activities and ‘interaction with Japanese people’, which can only be achieved by specialising in short-term study abroad, Fukuoka JaLS has been created for adults in terms of lesson themes and activity content. The small campus with a maximum of 50 students allows us to provide detailed support tailored to each student's individual goals and pace. The school is also located directly connected to Hakata Station, Kyushu's largest terminal station, so you can spend your time both inside and outside the school in the best possible way.

"The experience was better than expected."

Patrick Röllin, student from Switzerland

Everything started out with a bit of downer, since i wasn't able to stay at a homestay, like i intended to.
This further bothered me, since it meant i had to pay more than expected, due to price difference of appartements and homestay.
The appartement was ok, a bit noicy since it is located next to the 2 Story Highway and a main street.
With this complaint out of the Way i wanna talk about the school.
All the staff and teachers were amazing. The pacing of the classes and the level we were training for was perfect.
It was a bit confusing, why we had a total of 6 teachers over the course of 4 weeks (1 week we had 4 different teachers).
But everyone did great.
Having 3 Lessons in the morning is well paired with either homework, selfstudy or activities in the afternoon & evening.
The activities were mostly well thought out and interesting.
I think another part, that made this experience as good as it was, was the fact that all the attendees were 30+ Years old.
I hope there will be other places that these courses will be available for adults 30+ only.
