Our Payment Methods

At Blue House Okinawa, we provide two tailored payment options to suit various needs and learning styles across different class settings. Whether you prefer an intensive learning environment or require flexibility to accommodate a busy schedule, we have the ideal class for you. Below, we outline the key differences between our Flexible Class and Regular Class.


Flexible Schedule

In the Flex Class, you can purchase as many coupons as you’d like, then book and attend lessons at your convenience.

You can:

  1. Purchase the desired number of coupons each month and use them to book ANY LESSONS YOU LIKE.
  2. Coupons are valid only for the current 4-week subscription period and cannot be carried over to the next 4-week subscription period.
  3. Book lessons online, anytime and from anywhere.
  4. Easily reschedule your lessons if needed.
  5. Start learning now!

 

Fixed Schedule

In the Regular Class, your class, schedule, and tuition are fixed. This helps you build a consistent Japanese study habit.

You can:

  1. Develop a steady and consistent study routine.
  2. Attend 8 lessons per month at a lower cost compared to the Flex 8 plan.
  3. Follow a fixed class schedule, attending the same class at the same time each week.
  4. Pay a fixed tuition fee, it covers one month/term regardless of your attendance.
  5. Rescheduling or make-up lessons for missed classes are NOT AVAILABLE.
  6. Begin the class at the start of each month.

For more details, please see the information below.

Flexible Schedule

Learn Japanese on Your Terms – Designed for Short-Term Stays and Busy Lives 

In today’s fast-paced world, balancing work, travel, and personal life can make it difficult to commit to a fixed class schedule. That’s why our Flexible Schedule Class is ideal for:

  • Short-term visitors to Okinawa who want to study intensively
  • Frequent travelers
  • Busy professionals
  • Students with irregular schedules
  • Anyone who prefers a more customized learning routine

Whether you’re here for just a few weeks or looking for long-term flexibility, our program lets you build your own schedule—with the support of great instructors and quality materials.

 

Why Choose a Flexible Schedule?

  1. Start Immediately – No Waiting for a New Term
    You don’t have to wait for a new semester to begin learning. Sign up anytime and start accessing lessons and materials the same day.

  2. Create Your Own Schedule
    Buy coupons and book lessons whenever it fits your lifestyle—even just 1 hour in advance. Choose to study intensively by taking multiple lessons in a week, or keep a light, steady pace.

  3. Perfect for Intensive Study During Short Stays
    If you’re only in Okinawa for a short time, use Flex to pack in more lessons during your visit. Study 4–8 times a week if you’d like—it’s all up to you. Maximize your stay without wasting a single day!

  4. Monthly Subscription Model
    Our Flex Class operates on a subscription basis. You’ll be charged monthly on the same day you registered. For example, if you sign up on the 10th, your next billing will be the 10th of the following month. You can cancel or change your plan anytime before renewal.

  5. Pay Only for the Lessons You Use
    No need to commit to classes you may miss. Purchase coupons and use them only when you’re ready. If you cancel a booking at least 24 hours in advance, the coupon is returned to you.

  6. Mix and Match Class Types
    Your coupons are flexible! Use them for Self-Paced Class, Beginners Lecture Class or Conversation Lecture Class. Customize your learning experience week by week.

  7. Easily Adjust to Life Changes
    Schedules change—that’s life. With Flex, you can skip a busy week or ramp up your learning when you have more time. You’re always in control.

  8. Continue or Switch Anytime
    You can switch from Flex Schedule to a Fixed Schedule whenever your schedule allows. You can also move up a level or add new types of classes.

 

How It Works

 

  1. Book Lessons at Your Convenience
    Once you sign up for a Flex Class subscription, you’ll receive a set number of lesson coupons valid for four weeks from your billing date.

  • Use It or Lose It: Coupons must be used within the 4-week subscription period and do not carry over to the next month.

Our Curriculum

Learn Japanese Through Real Conversations with Native Speakers
Speak Confidently, Make Friends, and Immerse Yourself in Japanese Culture

If you’re serious about learning Japanese, you know that textbooks and grammar drills alone can only take you so far. At Blue House Okinawa, we bridge the gap between the classroom and the real world through our Language Exchange Program—a dynamic way to learn Japanese through genuine human interaction with local native speakers.

This isn’t just a nice bonus—it’s one of the most powerful and unique features of our school. Through real conversation, you’ll not only gain fluency faster but also make lasting friendships and experience Okinawa from a local perspective.

 

What Is Language Exchange?

Language Exchange is a structured, guided opportunity to practice Japanese with local Okinawan native speakers who are also learning English. Together, you’ll help each other grow in both language and cultural understanding through regular, meaningful conversation.

Sessions take place both in class and online through our exclusive school social media, community platform. This means you can practice anytime, anywhere—ensuring your learning continues even outside the classroom.

 

Why Language Exchange Works

Real-Life Communication
You won’t just memorize vocabulary—you’ll use it in live, unscripted conversations. This turns passive knowledge into confident, active speaking ability, helping you think in Japanese and speak more naturally.

Cultural Fluency
Through conversation, you’ll learn how to communicate with respect, nuance, and authenticity—absorbing body language, social norms, and cultural expressions that no textbook can fully teach.

A Supportive, Friendly Community
You’ll be surrounded by local Japanese people who want to help you, just as you’re helping them. This mutual curiosity and kindness create a safe and engaging environment for everyone.

 

What You’ll Practice During Language Exchange

Speaking and Pronunciation
Practice real-time speaking with feedback to help you sound more natural with every sentence.

Listening in Real Time
Train your ear to understand Japanese spoken by real people, with real accents and real speed—not slow, scripted audio.

Instant Feedback
Get gentle corrections and helpful tips from your exchange partner or instructor to improve faster and avoid bad habits.

Cultural Understanding
Learn what’s appropriate to say, how to say it politely, and what small gestures or phrases locals actually use in everyday life.

Blue House Okinawa Japanese /English School Language Exchange 2

Practice Beyond the Classroom with Our School Social Media
Our learning doesn’t stop when class ends. With our school social media, our private online community space, you can:

  • Chat with native Japanese speakers anytime
  • Post or comment in Japanese or English
  • Ask questions and get advice
  • Share cultural insights and experiences
  • Stay connected with classmates and local friends

This platform helps you keep learning every day, even when you’re busy or traveling.

 

Build Meaningful Friendships Through Language
One of the most rewarding outcomes of our Language Exchange Program is the human connection it creates. Many students form real friendships that extend beyond school—sharing meals, attending local festivals, exploring the island, and gaining a deep, personal connection to Okinawan life.

This is more than language learning—it’s life learning. And it’s what makes your time in Okinawa truly unforgettable.

 

Who Is This For?

Language Exchange is perfect for:

  • Learners who want practical, real-world speaking experience
  • Anyone hoping to connect with Japanese people on a deeper level
  • Visitors wanting to immerse themselves in Okinawan culture
  • Students who are tired of just studying and ready to start using their Japanese
  • Start Speaking—Even If You’re a Beginner

Don’t wait until you’re fluent. Our friendly, patient community welcomes all levels, and you’ll start speaking from day one—even if it’s just a few words. That’s how confidence builds: one real conversation at a time.

 

Ready to Learn Japanese the Natural Way?

Join Blue House Okinawa and experience the transformative power of Language Exchange. Gain confidence, fluency, cultural understanding, and genuine friendships—by speaking Japanese with those who live it.

Let real connection guide your journey to fluency.
