I understand how hard leaning languages is because I've been leaning some languages.
I've experienced to live with a lot foreign people and hold international events in japan and meet many people to learn Japanese.
So I know difficulties which Japanese uniquely has.
But, NO WORRIES! I'll teach you on your level. Let's have fun studying together!

This was my second lesson with Mei! Prior to this, it had been over six months since I had a Japanese lesson, so my confidence in my abilities was not high when I decided to start studying again. I'm lucky that I decided to restart my journey with Mei! She is so patient and helpful! I immediately felt relaxed speaking Japanese again! She creates a very comforting environment for learning and practising! I feel very lucky to have her guidance as I restart my Japanese journey!

I thoroughly enjoyed my lesson with Mei. We introduced ourselves and had a very easygoing conversation about life in Japan.

BIG thank you to Mei Sensei who is always super intuitive, kind, patient and encouraging in our lessons. Our conversations are fun and practical. I’m improving and gaining confidence with building longer sentences in Japanese.
Thanks for having me as a student 🙏🏻 .
Thank you Italki for having an awesome teacher like Mei. ✨
