Brave hearts

Your daily conversation skills are fine. But when it comes to the "main event"—university exams and your professional life—are you hitting an invisible wall?
-
"Suddenly, the 'Academic Japanese' in exam questions and lectures feels impossible."
-
"The better my Japanese gets, the more I lose confidence in my mother tongue (my ethnic language)."
-
"I want to talk to my parents from the heart, but I just can't find the words..."
The source of that wall is a lack of CALP (Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency), hidden behind your casual conversation skills. It is the loss of your mother tongue—the very foundation of your identity.
In the process of adapting to Japanese society, you lose your home language. This leads to isolation from your family and, ultimately, sabotages your ability to truly master deep Japanese.
GJF exists to break this serious vicious cycle.
【GJF's Two Core Support Systems】
-
Forge Your Future by Mastering CALP This isn't just conversation practice. We will relentlessly train you in the skills you need to "win" in exams and your career: the ability to read academic papers, write reports, and engage in logical debate. This is true CALP.
-
Turn Your Mother Tongue into Your Greatest Weapon At GJF, we never treat your mother tongue as "unnecessary." We know it is the foundation of all learning. This is a safe space where you can "negotiate" your identity in your own language. Re-strengthening your ability to think in your mother tongue is the fastest path to mastering academic Japanese.
Don't give up on your Japanese. Don't give up on your Identity.
The learning support you need to turn your roots into a strength and seize your future is right here.
