A Bridge to Japan

Ever had the experience of learning a language and becoming able to read and write well but when it comes to speaking in that language, your mind goes blank? Or are you simply planning to travel to Japan for vacation, study or work but is worried about being unable to speak the language?

Hashi aims to become a platform that resolves this issue. Different from the usual language schools, Hashi focuses on practical speaking skills in real-life scenarios. Through a combination of virtual classroom teaching and practical speaking sessions EVERY lesson, students will find themselves equipped with greater capabilities and confidence in speaking Japanese with native Japanese people.

Come join us and let us help bridge the gap between you and Japan!
