At Nihongo Picnic, we believe that learning Japanese isn't just about mastering grammar or memorizing vocabulary. It's about opening doors to genuine human connections, embracing cultures, and becoming part of a community that celebrates shared growth.
Connection,
not Competition
We learn together, grow together, and celebrate each other's progress. Every lesson is an opportunity to build not just language skills, but lasting friendships with fellow learners and native speakers.
Real Connections
We organize real-life events and grow together as a community.
Human Connection
We believe language learning is about people, not just grammar rules. Every lesson is designed to help you connect meaningfully with others, from casual conversations to professional relationships. We teach you to choose your words with care, considering the heart behind every interaction.
Innovative & Pragmatic
We're excited by new technologies and teaching methods, but we don't follow trends blindly. Every technique we use is backed by solid research and proven results. We balance innovation with wisdom, because your learning journey deserves both excitement and effectiveness.
Safety & Vulnerability
Psychological safety is the foundation of real learning. When you feel secure to make mistakes, ask questions, and be vulnerable, that's when true progress happens. We've built every aspect of our school around this principle, from our teaching approach to our administrative systems.
