Learning Japanese can be an exciting challenge, especially when you can practice the language in a vibrant community. In Zurich, there's now a fantastic opportunity to do just that. Our weekly language exchange has added Japanese as a new language. Every Saturday evening from 8 to 10 pm, Japanese enthusiasts meet at 2.akt Zurich to practice together, exchange ideas, and experience the language in a lively setting.

Why learn Japanese in Zurich?

Japanese is a fascinating language with a rich culture and history. Many people in Zurich are interested in Japan, whether for its culture, technology, literature, or travel destinations. However, learning Japanese can quickly become a challenge without practice.

Language exchange offers a practical solution. Here, learners of all levels meet to speak in a relaxed atmosphere, clarify questions, and learn from each other. The regular meetings create a routine that is very helpful for language acquisition.

The Japanese language table is open to everyone who wants to learn Japanese or refresh their knowledge. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, ideal for beginners and advanced learners alike.

Practicing together: You can have simple conversations or discuss more complex topics.
Cultural exchange: In addition to language, there are often conversations about Japanese culture, traditions and everyday life.
