Japanese language and culture in a casual way ✌ こんにちは 😊 ◇ Struggling with Japanese as a beginner? ◇ Want to learn *real* language and culture from someone who’s been in your shoes? I’m a self-taught Japanese language enthusiast who started from absolute zero—just like you! Growing up in Croatia, where Japanese isn’t spoken at all, I faced the same challenges many beginners do: lack of resources, no native speakers to practice with, and that overwhelming feeling of "Where do I even start?" But here’s the good news: those struggles became my greatest teachers. Through years of trial and error, I discovered how to learn effectively outside Japan—no immersion required. I want to share those hard-earned lessons with you! Up until now, I have been teaching for more than two years now and I really enjoy it. I have premade lessons that I use for teaching, but of course, I can organize lessons to one's wishes. In my lessons, I try to use as many as possible different resources for learning and I can promise you that a class with me won't be boring. I'm trying to be professional as much as possible, but I would like to create a relaxed atmosphere so that we can learn with a smile on our faces. I have a lot of different teaching materials that can be used in the lesson - from textbooks to pictures, useful weblinks, and so on. You don't have to buy any additional materials, because I will give you everything you would need. Just bring with you a smile!

Klara is incredibly patient, kind, and encouraging. She has a wonderful way of explaining things clearly and never makes us feel rushed or uncomfortable when we need something explained again. Her lessons have helped us make so much progress. We just hope we’re not testing her patience too much! 😅

Klara bringt Japanisch mit einer klaren Linie und vielen Materialien bei. Sie ist super geduldig und ermutigt einen zu Sprechen, auch wenn man dabei Fehler macht. Sie verbessert einen mit wenig Druck und erklärt sehr präzise, wie es korrekt funktioniert!
