「Speak More, Have Fun!」 楽しくたくさん話そう!😊 大人のための会話中心の日本語レッスン|初級〜上級 Hi! I’m Junko from Nara, Japan. 😊 I’m living in Prague. Do you want to speak more Japanese? I offer relaxed, conversation-focused lessons for adults from beginner to advanced. Lessons are tailored to your level and goals. 🌸 I’m also a language learner! I started learning English and Czech after turning 30, and I’m still studying them. I understand the challenges of learning a language as an adult. 🌸 About me I lived in New Zealand and Australia, so I understand what it feels like to live abroad. I worked at a bank in Japan for eight years, communicating with many people every day. I also completed a 420-hour Japanese teacher training course. 🌸 My lessons Beginners:  We can start with simple Japanese and build your confidence step by step. I can use English when necessary. We can also use  GENKI I  for structured study and conversation practice. Intermediate & advanced:  We can talk about daily life, hobbies, travel, work, Japanese culture, and other topics you enjoy. I’ll help you speak naturally and improve your vocabulary and expressions. You don’t need perfect Japanese to start talking.

Learn Japanese with clarity, structure, and practical conversation I've been teaching Japanese school, online for over 10 years. I've taught students of various levels, but I've especially focused on teaching those who have "finished beginner level but can't move on to the next level" or those who "have been stuck at the intermediate level for a long time. In my lessons, I focus on the following things to solve the struggles of intermediate-level students: - Practicing expressions you can use in real-life situations, over and over again - Having conversations about topics and things you're interested in - Carefully explaining difficult points one by one, such as particles, honorific language, and subtle nuances Now, let me briefly introduce my lessons. 💡 About My Lessons - For those who want to study properly using a textbook Using "Irodori" or "Marugoto," we'll work on developing your four skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—in a balanced way. - For those who want to study without a textbook Let's use the original 4-panel comics I created to learn vocabulary and grammar through different situations, and practice listening to improve your conversational ability. - Other options Free conversation and original games are also available for those who want to enjoy learning Japanese in a natural, fun way! If you're thinking "I want to speak more fluently" or "I understand somewhat, but I can't speak naturally"—please come try a trial lesson. Let's work hard together!

    Lessons with Anri先生 are very good. She is always prepared and never late to our classes. I often feel encouraged to try my best and speak even if I am not sure if I am correct. In case of any mistakes, the are explained in understandable way. The atmosphere is also very friendly. I really enjoy our lessons, I feel motivated to continue my learning and I can see my level raising from lesson to lesson. Highly recommended!

    As always, we started our lesson with conversation practice. Yukie-sensei is so helpful when I’m trying to form sentences correctly. She also takes notes on our conversations and sends them after each lesson, which is really useful for reviewing! Today, she used drawings to explain the difference between に (ni) and へ (e), which made it so much easier to understand. I really appreciate the care she puts into her explanations and how she makes grammar practice fun and engaging.

    Today was my 50th lesson with Kurumi-Sensei! It's been really helpful that she's so consistent that I've been able to form a habit of chatting with her and studying together twice a week. Being able to chat with her about everyday things gives me a lot of chances and experience to become more accustomed to hearing and using the exact everyday type of words and grammar structures that I'd want to use instead of just rote memorizing pre-approved standard expressions. Then when we have less to talk about, or are otherwise done with a chat, we progress to studying from the textbook where I can get more concentrated practice on how to use different grammar structures and how to phrase different types of ideas that I may have just been struggling to convey in conversation. It's a really helpful balance and I feel much more confident stumbling my way through practicing speaking, with Kurumi-Sensei's encouragement. いつも本当にありがとうございます!これからもよろしくお願いします!

    こうすけさん has been extremely helpful over the course of three months. For the past year and a half, I went through Genki I and II by myself and it never felt like the grammar was sticking like it should, even with the use of Bunpro to help reinforce. Since my lessons have started, the constant review and reinforcement has given me much more confidence in my output and overall understanding of the Japanese language.

    Happy 100th lesson! I've never regretted a single lesson with Shoko-sensei. I've learned so much. I'm not farther along due to my own lack of studying, but I love our weekly/biweekly sessions and I always leave feeling confident in what I just learned. Her explanations are incredible and adaptable. Here's to 100 more - and by then maybe I will write in all Japanese!!!

    I have taken eight lessons with Yumi Sensei now. She continues to exceed my expectations in every way. She has a very pleasant and easy-going personality and made me feel comfortable from the very first lesson. she encourages me to learn the fundamentals of the language but is also flexible enough to tailor each lesson to my specific needs. because of Yumi Sensei's excellent teaching style, my confidence and skill is building. I will definitely continue taking lessons. 👍😊

    I've been taking lessons with Hana for a long time now, and these days each lesson feels like catching up with an old friend. What sets her apart is that she makes an effort to get to know her students, and her encouragement goes well beyond Japanese. She has a real talent for noticing strengths in her students that they haven't noticed in themselves, and for nurturing them. Over our time together she's helped me come out of my shell and pursue things I wouldn't have had the confidence to try before. She's not someone who hands out empty praise, so when she tells you you're good at something, you believe it. The teachers you remember most are the ones who don't just teach. They become mentors whose lessons go beyond the subject itself. Hana is one of those teachers, and I can't thank her enough. She's patient, adapts to how you learn, and makes it safe to struggle with the hard parts. If you're looking for a teacher who will genuinely invest in you, I can't recommend her enough.

    Ryo-san is a wonderful sensei! He is calm, friendly, and always well-prepared for our lessons. As a beginner, I was initially a bit shy to speak Japanese, but he was incredibly patient with me. I highly appreciate his detailed feedback, great learning materials, and tailored homework exercises. He perfectly adapts every lesson to my individual needs. I can highly recommend Ryo sensei!

    Tatsuya san is so so good at maintaining the flow of a conversation, all while guiding me through sentence construction, grammar, and new vocabulary at the same time! Not once are there any awkward pauses as he creates a comfortable environment for me try speaking and make mistakes. It's really quite impressive. I would highly highly recommend!
