Our main focuses are: practice Japanese through conversations about interesting everyday topics, and creating a fraterna community between foreigners and local people. Everyone is welcome, and the classes are free.

Class

A classroom setting with a male instructor standing near a whiteboard, teaching a group of students seated in a U-shaped arrangement, some wearing masks, in a well-lit room with windows and posters on the walls.

  • Classes focus on daily conversation in both Japanese and English. Students are encouraged to teach a lesson, or lead an activity. It’s a fun environment, and you will learn something new every week.

  • Okinawa is home to 26,000 people from the United States and other countries, and you’ll be surprised how diverse this class is. You’ll meet people from every corner of the world, all ages, and you will make new international friendships.

Adventure

  • Classmates are always getting together on the weekends for local food and drinks. Once a month they take day trips to the best beaches, tropical islands, and other beautiful places in Okinawa.

  • Outside of the classroom there are countless cultural events happening every weekend. Come experience the magic of Okinawa with the Dushigwa family.
