To learn a new language should be a lot of fun, a source of joy and good time, however many people try and get frustrated. We all can learn as many languages as we want, but we should learn in natural way, like any child learns his mother tongue. As adults we frequently try to learn a new language in ways that are just not conductive. Dry repetition and memorization don’t help. A language is much more than words, a new language is like a new life. Japanese is a fascinating language of a fascinating country. I love to teach Japanese and about our food, our order and good manners, the anime and manga and many other fantastic oddities that exist only in Japan.

    Japanese private lesson

    本当にありがとー❣️🙇🏼‍♀️ It’s been 8 months of taking lessons with mostly Teppei sensei. I’m writing another review because I recently tried lessons with some new senseis and I heard several times that I sound like I’ve been practicing Japanese for much longer! I have to thank Teppei for this because he always keeps things fun and engaging while teaching you the most natural way of saying something. Trust, you’ll never regret a lesson with Teppei sensei!😊👍.

    本当ありがとうございました!今日のレッスンはとても楽しかったです! I am learning and revising so much. It makes such a difference to my confidence. I really enjoy learning to talk about areas that are specific to my life, rather than general topics in a textbook.

    I had a great trial lesson with Hiroさん! He encouraged me to speak in Japanese when I could. This was the first time I felt like I had a conversation in spoken Japanese. I’m looking forward to our next lesson!

    Japanese private lesson

    🌸Very sweet and patient🌸. I had an older addition of Genki and Rie 先生 was patient with me while we matched up pages. She spoke Japanese most of the time (which I loved 🇯🇵 ) and would explain things i couldn’t say or understand in English. This was my first lesson with her, but I am so happy with how the class went thus far. Definitely plan to continue our lessons ✨! I see myself improving under her guidance ☺️🫡!

    Japanese private lesson

    Naru-sensei was very easy and fun to talk to! She was patient and encouraging when I was trying to think of words and grammar. I really like that she keeps a google doc of what I say with corrections. I think my Japanese skills will definitely improve with her guidance.
