Why You Should Visit
Institut français du Japon – Kansai, an official French government institution under the French Embassy's cultural service, holds a French Open Day before its autumn term. Try a free trial lesson at one of four levels from beginner to advanced, then join the term briefing and a counseling session with the teaching staff to find the right class. The institute has taught French since 1927, with native French-speaking teachers. Good for anyone starting French or looking to get back into it.
