Ryuu Centre for Japanese Studies is the newest educational and cultural project developed by Antena Academy, dedicated to the Japanese language and culture. Unlike more commonly studied foreign languages, Japanese offers a unique advantage: it opens professional and academic opportunities, adds originality to any CV, and develops thinking and social skills in a distinct way.
The Centre is not just a space for language learning, but a community and a complete cultural experience. Here, learners discover Japanese traditions, values, and art — from origami and storytelling to traditional celebrations and life philosophies.
To begin this journey into the Japanese universe, Ryuu Centre for Japanese Studies launches its first educational program – “Japanese for Everyone”, taught by trainer Silvia Pătrașcu. This course offers more than a rare language; it opens the door to a fascinating culture and provides a unique advantage in both life and career. Through a practical and progressive method, Instant Japanese, participants learn to read, write, speak, and understand Japanese — from the first characters to the international JLPT N5 certification.
The course is structured by age groups (children, teenagers, adults), takes place online via ZOOM every Saturday, and combines applied theory with projects, cultural workshops, and real practice opportunities — including educational trips to Japan.
