Let's build up those successful experiences where you can say, “I was able to speak!” After enjoying your trip to Japan, didn’t you find yourself thinking, “I wish I could speak Japanese better”? I’ll help you develop the Japanese skills you need to communicate in your own words—not just rely on translation apps. Want to ask locals for recommendations, or connect with fellow fans in Japanese? Why not learn Japanese and enjoy an experience unlike that of other tourists? 【Foundation】-Build a foundation for speaking while expanding your vocabulary. ⇒Grammar lessons using textbooks 【Conversation】- Turn the Japanese you already know into something you can actually say—even with katakana, even imperfectly. ⇒conversation lessons 【Conversation+】-Refine your use of expressions and nuances that are characteristic of Japanese. ⇒ Identify grammatical and expression errors in your writing, and use those mistakes as a focus in conversation lessons. I've been teaching Japanese on italki for 5 years. I have taught over 2,600 lessons to more than 270 students. I spent two years in South Korea as a study abroad student and on a working holiday. I am currently studying French as well. That's why I know all too well both the joys and the challenges of studying a language. Classes are generally conducted in Japanese, but I also provide support in English and Korean depending on the students' level.

Great introductory lesson. Ryoko guided the conversation in a very natural way, encouraging me to express my ideas, providing support and questions as needed. She asked about my goals and we agreed on a way to structure future lessons. Very pleased!

Ryoko is wonderful teacher who can adapts her materials and contents for my learning purpose. I aims for speaking, so she builds her content into smaller pieces that I could start to practise and use in my conversation. She would come up with different prompts until I could fully use that in my own understanding. In addition, she is super approachable and encouraging me to speak up, that removes my biggest barrier for spoken Japanese.

말을 할 수 있도록 천천히 기다려주시고, 수업중에 새로 배웠던 단어를 댓글로 남겨주셔서 수업 후에도 보고 공부할 수 있어서 감사했습니다. 앞으로 더 열심히 공부하고 싶어요! :)
