Flexible Schedule Class
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?
- 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. - 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. - 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! - 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. - 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. - 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. - 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. - 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.
