Learn the Japanese Language through Jellyfish Education!
A year ago, I wrote about schools that offer Nihongo classes. You may read the full entry on my tumblr account. I only wrote about five options which are the Nihongo Center Foundation, Unmei Nihongo Center, UP Department of Linguistics, Tesda Language Skills Institute, and the Japan Foundation Manila. Little did I know that Jellyfish Education Consultancy also offers Nihongo classes too.
But first, WHAT IS JELLYFISH EDUCATION CONSULTANCY?

They have eight branches in countries like Indonesia and Vietnam other than the Philippines. The Philippine site was opened and registered under Securities and Exchange Commission in July 2012.
