ABOUT US
Our Methodology
1. Vocabulary is a big part of learning a language. That is why at Nami Japanese Academy, all students have access to a paid online spaced repetition software, Quizlet, to help them memorise words quickly and easily.
2. Grammar is important in stringing sentences together. At Nami Japanese Academy, students are given opportunities to exercise the grammar they learn through class activities, conversations and quizzes.
3. Reading is key to understanding texts like newspapers. Students at Nami Japanese Academy are given adequate practice with numerous reading comprehensions and exercises given throughout the course at regular intervals.
4. Listening is a section students often struggle with due to the fast speed of conversations. Therefore, we provide our students with sufficient practices every lesson. For example, after learning a few grammar structures, students will be tested on their listening ability of those grammar structures. This is a frequent exercise done in classes at Nami Japanese Academy.
