こんにちは!I’m Shei Natsuko, your trilingual guide (Japanese/English/Cantonese) with 20 years of turning learners into confident speakers. Born in Japan, raised across Hong Kong, Australia, America and France.
🇯🇵🇦🇺🇺🇸🇭🇰🇫🇷
I decode both Language and Cultural -Nuances—so you speak naturally.
✨Most students learn:
🇯🇵 For anime/culture lovers: Learn through real PODCASTS, ANIME clips, and Shadowing—no textbook monotony.
🗼 Traveler/expats: Master not-just-phrases but the UnSpoken Rules (why silence wins in Japan).
🎯 JLPT achievers: Structured plans to hit N2 in 2-3 years (work place-ready) or N1 in 3-4 years (College-entry).
Let’s make Japanese feel like home—minus the overwhelm.Me as a Teacher
🙅♀️ I’m NO regular teacher. Come on! After 20+ years!
🥱I don’t start with chapter 1and KANA first, means we don't let textbook or other program or teachers to insist to learn hira- or kata- KANA to MANIPULATE us to the language.
🥇As a Real Linguistic Teacher, Manipulate the books and all the knowledge to start
with YOU! =❤️🔥Building Confidence FIRST!
👋 Bye Bye to Kana or Vocabularies lists drills for first months.
☝🏽いちUse PODCASTS & APPS, because we train sound, rhythm, and intonation first
✌🏽 にNEED to shadow native audio and feel the nuances
🗣️For Speaking: From day one you speak in Tiny, Safe Chunks: Greetings, Orders, Quick Replied, You’ll say su shi ⤵️, not “soo-shee⤴️My lessons & teaching style

I continue to have a great experience with this Sensei, rather than sticking strictly to any book we've focused more on conversational, modern Japanese, which I strongly prefer. We use a variety of methods to supplement Genki, including YouTube videos and Podcasts, which has been a great asset in getting a natural feel for the language to my end-goal of conversing easily with Japanese relatives. Really happy with my progress so far after a few months!

We covered lots in the past few sessions. I speak, according to Sensei "street Japanese" so already have a small base to work from, but with so many errors.
So we're making fix-ups. re-reviewing genki 1 and 2, with a little more care and focus.
over 3 sessions we've covered Transitive and intransitive verbs, conjugation them and (using を and が), そうです and といていました (i heard that). Also covered そうです (it seems like).
Present, past, present negative and past negative tense were covered too.
Also managed to touch on verbs for playing music and wearing clothes.
And this was just a little bit of work we've done based off a test we did after the first class 💥

I have been taking private lessons with Natsuko Sensei for about a year. She teaches in a modern style without heavy reliance on books. She teaches vocabulary in Romaji (English alphabet), which means that I haven’t had to learn Hiragana or Katakana. Learning this way lets you focus on the vocabulary and grammar, which is ideal when learning conversational Japanese. Overall I have enjoyed every lesson as Natsuko Sensei is easy to talk to and very intelligent. Hontoni Arigatou Gozimasu!
