Chieko san is an outstanding teacher who follows the principles of Comprehensible Input in her lessons. Thanks to her thoughtful and engaging teaching style, I feel confident that I can learn Japanese naturally, just as I would acquire a first language. She creates an environment where understanding and communication come first, which makes learning enjoyable and effective. I highly recommend Chieko san to anyone looking to immerse themselves in Japanese in a way that feels intuitive and stress-free.

Talking with Chieko-sensei about day-to-day things or shared interests is always a pleasure, and she does a great job of providing interesting lesson materials that match my level. Her lessons are a great "comprehensible output" companion to my Japanese study through the Comprehensible Input method, and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to learn Japanese and improve their conversational skills in a natural and comfortable way.

In my very first lesson, I was excited and nervous at the same time, because I'm a total beginner. She was patient with me and I was blown away at how much I ACTUALLY comprehended. I still have a long way to go, but I found the best Language Parent on the internet! My best advice for learning a language is ACQUIRE it! Don't "study" it. Chie-sensei is the best!
