【Beginners are also welcome😊】Relaxed Japanese Café Talk ☕ Real Conversation with Clear Feedback こんにちは!I’m Yoshiko, a Japanese teacher living in Saudi Arabia and raising a son. Born and raised in Japan, I now connect Japanese and Gulf cultures in my daily life. As a language lover (I’ve studied six languages myself!), I understand both the excitement and challenges of speaking a new language. I am friendly, patient, and genuinely curious about my students’ cultures and stories. I enjoy sharing Japanese and Saudi culture while learning about yours. In my lessons, we talk about real-life topics — travel, food, culture differences, daily life in Saudi Arabia, and more. If you already know some basic Japanese and want to speak more smoothly and confidently, my lessons are perfect for you. I have been teaching learners from many countries since 2021, both in English and Japanese. Many of my students are long-term regular learners. Before becoming a teacher, I worked in travel agencies and hotels, so we can also talk about sightseeing, travel planning, and cultural experiences in Japan. If you want to speak natural Japanese with clear feedback and steady progress, you’re in the right place. I offer relaxed conversation-based lessons called Japanese Café Talk ☕ We can customize your lesson depending on your goal. In each lesson: • I give clear feedback • We review key phrases • You receive organized Google Doc notes In my lessons, I don’t just correct mistakes — I help you notice them and think about more natural ways to express yourself.

I have taken many lessons Yoshiko sensei, and I would say my experience with her was superb!! Yoshiko sensei accurately identifies the student level with her experience, and then create suitable lessons those insures maximum learning outcome. She creates conversational fun sessions, organised and always patient. And what came as best value to me is that she documents all the new vocabulary and notes of lessons, reviews them at each lesson’s end and makes them accessible for the student! Thank you sensei!

I had another fun lesson talking about Family with Yoshiko-Sensei. As always Yoshiko-Sensei listens patiently and provides detailed and useful feedback so I can feel myself really improving after each lesson. Looking forward to the next one!

Yoshiko sensei has been my Japanese teacher for a while. Her ‘coffee talk’ style is excellent in making the conversation smooth, bringing out the confidence to speak Japanese in a relaxed atmosphere! Always, she takes notes of new words and grammar points to keep them in document to review in the end of each lesson, highlighting your areas of improvement. Arigatougozaimasu, Yoshiko sensei!!

In the trial lesson, we discussed my short and long term goals in learning Japanese. I’m looking forward to starting my lessons with よしこさん.
