TNVN and the Tokyo Japanese Language Volunteer Network were formed in December 1993 as a network (liaison council) of organizations engaged in volunteer Japanese language class activities with the aim of exchanging information and revitalizing activities. TNVN members support foreigners who feel inconvenienced because of their language as neighbors through Japanese language class activities in their respective areas.

In order to work in Japan, even as a foreigner, in most cases, the Japanese language skill is required. Moreover, to obtain a better chance of employment, it is necessary to improve his/her Japanese language level, and to do so, it is advisable to make use of various opportunities to learn Japanese. There are private language schools and classes organized by the local government such as cities, wards, towns, villages, but here we introduce "Tokyo Nihongo Volunteer Network (TNVN)", which is a voluntary group offering Japanese classes. The TNVN's web site carries a guide to the Japanese classes.
