I studied at LTL Language School Osaka…
I studied at LTL Language School Osaka for 3 weeks from July-mid August 2026 and had an unforgettable time, it exceeded my expectations immensely. I opted in for the half-board Homestay accommodation alongside my lesson plan, which was a great choice and my speaking ability improved so much from daily interactions with the host family. My objective was to improve my reading and writing skills on Hiragana and Katakana and learn some Kanji, while mainly focusing on improving my speaking ability and confidence. The lesson structure was flexible to accommodate my needs and I had lessons with 6 different teachers and I genuinely enjoyed every lesson! The teachers are relaxed and authentic in their approach to getting to know you as a student and understanding your requirements, and there were many times when I was talking to them about shared experiences so comfortably that I forgot I was actually speaking Japanese with them! I was given the Tobira Intermediate textbook on arrival, which definitely challenged me. I also had multiple Kanji tests to assess my progress; which in turn made me motivated to work hard and study Kanji, the area I'm weakest in. The school director Hiyori-San works hard to organise multiple socials every week for the students to get to know eachother, and I've made some great friends through this experience. Special mention to my senseitachi Hiroko Nishioka-San, who taught me multiple times and was very kind and instructive! Also to Junichi Seukane-San, with whom I had fun discussing Japanese Philosophy and Religion, and Naomi Miyai-San, who taught me on my very last day but left a lasting impression on me. The lessons were so much more than Japanese grammar and language, and I was able to have many interesting conversations about Japanese society and culture with all of them. I am overjoyed to have graduated with a B1 qualification, and I'm more motivated than ever to keep learning Japanese. I definitely recommend LTL Osaka to anyone looking for a Japanese language school. Thank you for the excellent service!
