Connect with Locals! Patient & Gentle Japanese Lessons with a Midwife🌸 | Hello! I'm Kaori🌸 A native Japanese speaker living in Japan and a midwife. Do you want to speak Japanese naturally and genuinely connect with locals when you visit Japan? Many learners worry about making mistakes and feel nervous talking to Japanese people. But you don't need perfect Japanese to start communicating! As a midwife, my daily work is all about listening patiently and offering personalized support to people from all backgrounds. I believe "100 learners have 100 different ways of learning." Since I am also learning English, I truly understand the challenges and excitement of speaking a new language. You will always have a safe, supportive, and relaxed space in my lessons to practice without fear of making mistakes! 【My Lessons are Perfect For You If:】 ・You want to chat with locals at izakayas, cafes, or shops during your trip to Japan. ・You want to build real confidence in speaking Japanese. ・You prefer a friendly, patient tutor who gently guides you. (Beginners A1-B1 are very welcome!) 【What We Can Do Together:】 ☕ Practical Role-Play: Practice ordering food, asking for directions, and daily interactions. 💬 Real Conversation: Talk about topics you love, Japanese culture, or your travel plans. 🌱 Natural Phrasing: Turn textbook grammar into phrases native speakers actually use. Let's change your Japanese from "something you study" to "something you actually use to make friends!" 🌸 Book a trial lesson today, and let's start chatting!

Kaori sensei makes every lesson fun! I laugh the whole time, and even when I make mistake in my nihon go, or cannot remember words, she is very kind and rolls with it. I would recommend her to every Japanese language learner!
