IJCCI Chennai to Launch New Japanese Language Courses
CHENNAI, India – December 1, 2025 – The Indo-Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IJCCI) announced today that it will be launching a new set of Japanese language courses in Chennai, starting in mid-December 2025. The IJCCI’s Language School will offer both online and offline options for beginners, as well as advanced courses for those looking to further their proficiency.
A fast-track online beginners’ course, combining the N5 and N4 levels, will be offered with weekend classes. This intensive program is designed to enable students to directly take the N4 Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) in December 2026. For those preferring in-person instruction, a six-month offline beginners’ course will be held on Sundays at the IJCCI premises in Teynampet, preparing students for the N5 JLPT scheduled for July 2026.
In addition to the beginner courses, the IJCCI will also offer higher-level weekend proficiency courses for N4 and N3 levels. These courses are intended to provide students with the skills and knowledge necessary to achieve higher levels of fluency in Japanese.
“With the increasing ties between India and Japan, proficiency in the Japanese language is becoming more valuable than ever,” said a representative from the IJCCI. “These courses are designed to meet the growing demand for Japanese language skills in business, education, and cultural exchange.”
