Welcome to the Practical Japanese Class of IFAI (International Friendship Association of Ibaraki ) Website!

We are a Japanese volunteer group that supports non-native Japanese speakers living in Ibaraki or surrounding areas. We can help you learn Japanese as well as provide mental support so that you are not isolated from our communities.

The Japanese classes are held at Ibaraki City Hall, South Building 8F, on Thursday [13:30 - 15:00] and on Friday [10:00 - 11:30] each week. It is a one-to-one system, so you can start anytime regardless of your Japanese level.

Please come and see us.
Let's study Japanese together and have fun!
