Explore the language, spirit, and culture of Japan.
Ryuu Centre for Japanese Studies is the newest educational and cultural project developed by Antena Academy, dedicated to the Japanese language and culture. Unlike common foreign languages, Japanese offers a unique advantage: it opens professional and academic opportunities, adds originality to a CV, and develops thinking and social skills in a distinctive way.
The centre is not just a place to learn the language—it is a community and a complete cultural experience. Here, you explore Japanese traditions, values, and arts, from origami and stories to holidays and life concepts.
To begin this journey into the Japanese world, 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 path to a fascinating culture and provides a unique advantage in life and career. Using a practical and progressive method called Instant Japanese, students learn to read, write, speak, and understand Japanese, from the first characters to the international JLPT N5 certification.
The course is held online via ZOOM on Saturdays and combines applied theory with projects, cultural workshops, and real practice opportunities, including educational trips to Japan.
