They were evaluated based on the effort displayed during the class and the contest. That involves hours they spent on preparation, correction of pronunciation and compositions. However, it took nearly a month for Four judges decide points to each student and giving comments by evaluating both contest presentation and classroom video.

We offer a powerful tool called model verbs, that systematize Japanese verbs that allows children to conjugate more than 10,000 verbs by simply memorizing only 19 of them. Unlike most Japanese textbooks, we omitted Japanese writings (hiragana, katakata, etc.) and heavy grammatical explanations, but rather focused on communication in Japanese based on phonetic elements that are easy to recite and repeat through the rhythm.

Perhaps you may be aware of the apologizing culture in Japan and know that it is a typical Japanese way of respect and courtesies in dealing with one another. Perhaps you may be thinking, in the world today, it is highly unrealistic that they bow and apologize often and in a wide variety of situations while the world isn’t very apologetic, by and large, motivated by competition. So an important question to ask is, how can the unity of Japanese organizations survive in the world of competition?

And it is critical that we know the language spoken in local to convey the message. Thus, it is advisable more than ever for those who live in Japan or travel to Japan need a quick method to master Japanese conversation skills, which would save time and cost, most importantly, life. We re-arranged Japanese language into phonetic elements with Romaji, made it easier for English speakers to acquire conversation skills faster than ever imagined – within the matter of 60 - 120 hours. It is called morphological schematization, suited for English speaking learners. The greatest merit is the ability to let you conjugate more than 10,000 Japanese verbs correctly and automatically by simply memorizing the table of 19 model verbs. We had Writing Contest in April 2020 and the result is awe-inspiring! Please read the following two young winners who spoke about our method of learning Japanese language.

From March 2019 onward, the regular fee was administered to all students who study Japanese language. All the benefit students are getting is not just Japanese instruction itself, but its unique teaching method that made it possible for them to complete the course in approximately 60 hours. It’s all too easy to mistaken its content as tawdry since so many other Japanese programs are showy and poorly made even though students have to study hard. Importantly, with our program, they learn to conjugate more than 10,000 Japanese verbs correctly and automatically by simply memorizing the table of 19 model verbs. This will become a huge amount of materials, by continuously adding and multiplying with new materials within a short period of time. Getting the high standard Japanese covering the requirement of Japanese standard exams within a short period of time is well worth efforts and there is no doubt priceless value.

However, lack of security ad living resources delayed issuance of the government registration certificate without ability to return to Nigeria, we have taken the step to began the branch in New York. There in May 2018, we revised and published "Japanese Language in 30 weeks 1 Romaji course" by the aid of the Japan Foundation. Currently we teach Japanese online. We ask your warm support and understanding.

Recent report
Let us report the recent incidents: Japanese language teacher training seminar in Tokyo successfully produced four promising trainees in their 30s to 60s completed. (Photo) We started on-line lecture with enthusiasm. Unfortunately the regulation of the government was so strict and made it difficult selling in Tokyo, therefore moringa leaf powder sales were unfortunately discontinued.
SWACIA published Japanese textbook in May 2018, and had Bungeisha, publishing company in Tokyo, to review it. The result was very positive. The company recommended that we reduce pages by editing and create lighter version for the ease of use with one color or two color printing, and then the company would arrange the books in 200 stores nationwide. On the other hand, JTM Tokushima Japanese Network consisting of Japanese teaching team has keenly studied Japanese textbooks on display at book stores. According to them, there are similar books being sold in book stores and would require diligent efforts to collect data, analysis and plan to sell in Japan. We are now at loss which way to go? Then Kenyan NGO has invited SWACIA to pay a visit to Kenya in order to start a Japanese school in Kenya.

You need a quick method to master Japanese conversation skills, which would save time and cost, most importantly, life.

The course presents a total of 420 Chinese characters in addition to Hiragana and Katakana. The 420 kanji have been carefully selected from the 881 Kyooiku Kanjji (Essential kanji and 115) Bikoo Kanji (Reference kanji), all of which appear in elementary school textbooks in Japan. Except for the first two lessons in which Kana are learned, 15 new Kanji appear in each lesson. The 30 lessons can normally be completed at the rate of one lesson a week.
The colloquial patterns in each lesson are introduced in the context of a continuous story about a Canadian, Greg Honderick, who comes to live in japan. He has to undergo many new experiences while getting used to Japanese life: apartment-hunting, eating-out, shopping, telephoning, sight-seeing, corresponding, losing his way, sickness, bathing at a bath house, visiting a cemetery, typhoon season, an interview and employment, a Sukiyaki party, and so on. He gets married to a Japanese woman, Midori, and finally when their son is born, they go back to Canada to visit Greg’s parents.
Presentations in each lesson concentrate on colloquial and modern expressions. In each lesson, the Oral Exercises in Section 4 should be done with a native Japanese teacher, if possible. The students should also be drilled in reading and writing Kana and Kanji in section 3 according to their requirements. Although grammatical notes are not contained in this volume, teachers trained in the SWACIA Online language school teachers’ Training Course will be able to answer questions about material not already explained in the first volume.
