こんにちは!I’m Junko(じゅんこ), your guide to *natural, everyday Japanese*. Born and raised in rural Japan. I now share my language and culture in the US—with years of living abroad enriching my lessons. What do you like about Japan ? I love Japanese dramas and food. Let’s chat about them *in Japanese*! I specialize in helping beginners and casual learners speak confidently, using real-life topics (no textbook robots here!). Whether you’re preparing for travel or just love Japan, I’ll make learning feel like a cozy café talk. 一緒に楽しく勉強しましょう!☺

Junko Sensai is kind and patient. I never feel rushed or pressured. She has a thorough knowledge of the grammar and gives clear explanations and examples when I ask for them.

I love taking classes with Junko-sensei. My speaking is lagging behind my reading and listening, so it’s important to have an environment where you’re comfortable making mistakes, stuttering, and thinking as you slowly make progress, which is exactly what you will get if you book a lesson with Junko!!

I had the best time during our conversation practice, I felt comfortable enough to make mistakes and to push myself, I can’t wait for our next lesson!!

Junkosan was so friendly and helpful and had made a cutie little slide where she introduced greetings and responses for different kinds of interactions. She clarified several things about the greetings which made understanding the difference between casual and formal interactions much easier to grasp and was able to correct me on some of my prior understanding of word usage. Definitely coming back for more lessons! Thank you, Junkosan!
