Home > KIWI日本語教室とは
小さな日本語学校ならではのアットホームな雰囲気の中、
生徒一人一人のレベルを把握し、レベルの向上に努めてまいります。
入門・初級者には英語を補助的に使いながら効果的に授業を進めて行きますので、ストレスが少なく、無理のないレッスンが受けられます。
言語を教える場合、直接法と間接法があります。直接法は日本語だけを使って教えるのに対し、間接法は媒介語を使って説明しながら教えます。大規模な日本語学校では学習者の国籍が多数で媒介語が使える状況が少ないため、直接法での授業になります。本校では小規模ならではの利点を生かし、入門に近い学習者になるほど、媒介語として英語を使って分かりやすく説明しながら授業を進めていきます。
まず、無料体験レッスンでレベルチェックをさせていただきます。
本校では、まずお一人お一人に丁寧な面接を行っています。
これまでの学習経歴、学習の目的、ご希望のコース、ご希望の時間帯を伺います。
そして、文法レベルチェック、漢字力チェック、会話力チェックを行います。その上で、最適のコースとプランをご提案しています。
ビジネスとしての日本人との付き合い方、慣習、必須表現パターンを学ぶことで、日本人とのコミュニケーション力を高め、仕事での信頼関係の土台を築きます。
以下のような方にお勧めのコースです。

Goto Sensei is an absolutely brilliant Japanese teacher and invaluable in providing essential cultural insightfulness when acclimating to a new life in Japan. His custom lesson plans, passion for teaching, welcoming manner and great patience created an environment which encouraged me to challenge myself and stretch my Japanese speaking, reading and writing capability. ありがとうございます後藤先生!
As a recent newcomer to Japan, I was apprehensive about studying Japanese knowing how difficult it is, but my classes at Kiwi Japanese Language School have been interesting and a lot of fun, and I’m excited to keep learning more!
Goto-san is friendly and encouraging, the lessons are always well prepared and organized, so I was always learning and making progress. He was able to answer all my questions whether it was vocabulary, grammar, local customs and more. Over the last several months I went from zero Japanese to being able to use Japanese at stores, restaurants and other everyday situations. I highly recommend Kiwi Japanese language school!
I studied at Kiwi Japanese Language School between September 2015 to February 2017.
Goto Sensei has been very helpful in helping me improve in my Japanese language. He is patient in explaining even the simplest grammar syntax. Whenever I ask him about getting certain resources for my Japanese learning, he will always inevitably have the material ready by the next lesson.
Learning Japanese is not just about acquiring language proficiency, but also about getting to know the Japanese culture on a more intimate level. Having lived in New Zealand, Goto Sensei has the experience and open-mindedness to teach Japan’s unique culture to foreign students.
I highly recommend Kiwi Japanese Language School to anyone interested in improving their Japanese proficiency.
If you’re ready to start speaking Japanese, KIWI Japanese language school is the most effective, convenient, and friendliest school you can go. Mr. Goto gives you a good start to successfully studying and learning Japanese. The environment is great. I really recommend you to try KIWI Japanese language school in few months you’ll be speaking Japanese.
Mr Goto has been our fun, patient & inspiring Japanese teacher for 4 years. We really enjoy your every class at Edgewater College, here in Auckland. You made learning Japanese easy for us by applying what we learnt to daily use. You also taught us to cook Japanese foods and sing Sukiyaki song. We appreciate your friendship.
Mr Goto is an amazing teacher who cares deeply about helping others. He is also a very patient and understanding man. Mr Goto teaches at a pace that suits everyone and ensures that no one is left behind. By having Mr Goto as your teacher you will be able to achieve your goals in learning excellent English or Japanese. Mr Goto makes learning fun, exciting and enjoyable.
He makes you feel confident and capable no matter your learning style.
If you want to learn Japanese, you should definitely learn from Mr. Goto. He is polite, friendly, patient, and you won’t find a better teacher than him. I spent one year in Japan and what Mr. Goto taught me gave me the skills to become a fluent speaker. He can help you speak without an accent, teach you the most important words and grammar your need to have a conversation, and he teaches hiragana, katakana, and kanji in a way you can remember each character. Being able to speak Japanese (and read a little) definitely makes your time in Japan a time you will never forget, and Mr. Goto is the best person to do that.
During my time at High School I had the privilege of having Goto Sensei as my Japanese teacher. Mr Goto was my favourite teacher at High School and Japanese was my favourite subject. Mr Goto made Japanese fun to learn. Goto Sensei is an amazing teacher, very friendly and patient, making it easy to learn. I would like to thank Goto Sensei for helping me become competent in Japanese language and culture. I would highly recommend Goto Sensei to anyone interested in learning Japanese.

The fun element in Mr Goto’s lessons made the work easy to learn. He was a knowledgeable teacher who has the respect of staff and students alike. He also cares about his students which makes it easy to learn from him.
