Japanese Language Education

These subjects serve to introduce students to the fundamentals of Japanese communication. Upon completion, Students should be able to handle basic communication and interactions with their Japanese peers as well as out in society.
Way to learn Japanese before enrolling
Learning Japanese is essential to live and study in Japan, and APU encourages all graduate school applicants to familiarize themselves with introductory Japanese before enrolling. The "TOBIRA Survival Edition” app was developed to be an interactive, fun way to learn Japanese for incoming students with no prior Japanese knowledge to smoothly transition into Japanese language learning at APU!
