<Question>
I am looking for a Japanese class that is close from my home and cheap. How can I find one? (Inquiry in Nepali)
<Answer>
In addition to Japanese language schools, there are many volunteer Japanese classes where you can learn Japanese. The YOKE website has a non-profit “Database of Japanese Language and Study Support Classes in Yokohama” (https://yokeweb.jp/) that allows you to search for classes near your place of residence in either Japanese or English.
These classes are inexpensive, with costs ranging from free to as little as 500 yen per lesson.
Each class has its own characteristics, so please consult with each class about the learning type that best suits your needs, including level (introductory, beginner and up), purpose (for daily life, for employment, Japanese Language Proficiency Test, etc.), and class format (group/individual lessons, face-to-face/online).
If you have difficulty searching in either Japanese or English and/or inquiring about each class, YOKOHAMA Foreign Residents Information Center will gladly help you find a class.
The center can respond to your questions in 11 languages.
