Fona Group Class or Private Class?

Which class type is better for you, depends on you and your needs. Think about the advantages described for each class type, and your own personality, objectives, goals, and so on to determine what you think would be best for you.

One criterion that is easy to understand is that if you join a Fona group class you know for sure that you will follow the exclusive and exceptional Fona School curriculum, as is explained under the Lesson Content heading. Of course you are welcome to follow the Fona School curriculum in a private class as well, but if you want to take lessons for test English, school English, English for journalists, reading, etc., then you need to take lessons in a private class where you can decide everything about the class and lesson content.

If you still have trouble deciding which would be best, feel free to try both, and/or to consult with a Fona associate.

Of course you're also welcome to switch back and forth at any time, or to take multiple lesson types simultaneously.

The Positive Progress Program is, exactly as the name implies, a program that positively ensures your progress.

The program itself naturally includes everything available in the standard program. In addition, all of those things are more focused and concentrated in the Positive Progress Program. The reason for that is that you will have more contact with the teacher(s). In fact, you can have daily contact with the teacher(s).

Whether you study language or some other subject, frequency of exposure is key. The months and years you spend, and the frequency at which you study are far more important to your progress than the number of minutes or hours you spend each time you study. The Positive Progress Program is where you can truly learn and experience those differences.

One of the biggest reasons that a lot of people have trouble achieving the progress they'd like is actually because of their own paradigms. In other words, they believe themselves to be a person that cannot speak English. We'll teach you how to rewrite those paradigms.

This is a full-service program for positive progress!

Languages Used in the Lessons

At Fona, we want you to learn just as quickly and efficiently as possible, so we adjust the language we use to teach according to the skill level of the class. There's no point in going through the motions of a lesson if the students aren't understanding what the teacher says. We explain details and subtleties in Japanese to improve and enhance your understanding of those things without wasting lesson time.
For example, in a Basic Conversation class, we'll use English up to 30% of the time during the study time, and about 50% of the time during the practice time. In an Essential Conversation class, we'll use English 50% of the time during the study time. In an Advanced Conversation class, we'll use English about 95% of the time during study time and practice time, both. Thus, we adjust the language usage in the class according to the skill levels of the students to make the most of the lesson time.
