COMMUNICA INSTITUTE has more than 25 years of experience in teaching Japanese at Kobe Japan, since 1988. It is also a Japanese language school for intercultural communication. -Philosophy We practice Japanese language education as intercultural education. While our behavior and ways of thinking are greatly influenced by our own cultures, intercultural communication does not work when we stick to our own way of thinking. Usually, we are unaware of “culture,” value or way of thinking as something natural as air. At Communica Institute, we aim to be aware of it and to share it. Our aim is to build a foundation on which, while cherishing your own culture, you can get over its boundary, find a new way and build a third culture by synergy. It is our mission to make a solid foundation on which you can transcend “cultures,” and create new or third value while cherishing your own culture.
