Slow and gentle for beginners. But remember—learning isn’t learning if it’s not fun! ʕ•ӫ̫͡•ʔ

Why not build your vocabulary by learning sushi toppings? It’s a win-win for travelers and anyone interested in Japanese culture. With matching games, you can quickly switch between Japanese and English, building fast language pathways. In sentence-building games, you’ll see how swapping words helps make expressions your own. We describe photos, choose topics you like, and enjoy discussions. I also prepare simple topics for absolute beginners—no worries. If you can create your own story from four pictures, you’re already close to native-level thinking. Did anyone think, “This is just playing”? When you’re learning and when you’re having fun, the same parts of the brain are activated.

I love studying with Yun! We always have fun and she is so patient and kind. When speaking with her I feel safe and comfortable to try my best even when I'm struggling. When I need something repeated a lot of times, or I'm taking a really long time to gather my words, Yun is warm and supportive. She slows down as much as I need but also never stops challenging me. Our sessions are exactly what I need and I feel lucky to have found such a caring teacher that understands my goals and is helping me reach them.

YUN先生のおかげで、無事に内定をもらうことができました。面接対策では、質問の答え方や言い回しなど、細かいところまで丁寧に教えてくれてとても助かりました。 それに、面接前に緊張していたときも、先生が優しく励ましてくれて、前向きな気持ちでがんばることができました。 YUN先生のサポートがなければ、ここまで来られなかったと思います。感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです!これからもどうぞよろしくお願いします!

I had some difficulties with a more challenging text, but Yun helped me understand it and taught me many new words.

YUN先生、今回のレッスンはありがとうございました。いつも楽しくて面白い活動をたくさん用意してくれます。これからもよろしくお願いします。 YUN先生 is a creative, friendly, and supportive instructor. She provides a great environment for practicing your language skills in a way that is enjoyable but also allows her to gauge your level. She prepares for individual goals and skills but is also ready with back up materials if needed. Overall, a great learning experience so far.

Yun-sensei always prepares fun lessons. We learned new expressions to describe Japanese dishes and desserts. She helped me learn new grammar points and descriptive vocabulary to describe taste and flavor. Lessons have been great. Can't wait for next time.

This is my 3rd lesson with Yun. She is so sweet and kind - we are working hard on pinning down intermediate grammar and combining longer sentences. She is really wonderful and provides grammar corrections and notes. I'm looking forward to the next lesson!
