Friendly Native Japanese in Japan 🇯🇵 | Natural Conversation & Real-Life Japanese 🇯🇵 For me, it is important that you study actively. Learning a new language takes time and steady effort. The more exposure you have, the faster your skills will improve. Anything you do in Japanese counts as study—reading manga, watching anime, listening to music, and more. If you want, I can also give you homework tailored to your goals. Everyone has their own most effective way to learn, and I know I’m not the perfect teacher for everyone. (Have you ever had this experience? A friend says they absolutely love a new chocolate, but when you try it, it’s not that great for you — something like that 😊) But if you take the time to try a lesson with me, I promise I’ll always do my very best.
