Japanese

Would you like to learn Japanese or expand your basic knowledge of Japanese? The University of Groningen Language Centre offers beginners’ courses in Japanese at three levels. The first course introduces you to the Japanese language and culture and teaches you your first words and phrases. In the follow-up courses, you will also learn to read the Japanese characters hiragana, katakana and kanji, and you will find it increasingly easy to hold a conversation in Japanese!

See below for our range of standard Japanese courses. Is the course you want to take not yet open for registration? Sign up for our newsletter, and we will let you know when you can register.
