Learn Japanese Through Your Story|Conversation-Focused|Australia & 5-Star Hospitality Speak First. Fluency Follows. You don't become fluent before you speak. You become fluent because you speak. My goal isn't simply to teach you Japanese. My goal is to help you express yourself and be yourself in Japanese. This is the philosophy behind my lessons. Hi! I'm Ryo and I've taught over 800 online Japanese lessons to students from around the world. My lessons focus on real conversation, not just textbooks. Instead of memorizing dialogues, we'll talk about our life, your work, hobbies, travel, dreams, and daily experiences so you learn Japanese you can actually use. Don't worry about making mistakes. Most Japanese people care more about what you want to say than perfect grammar. My goal is to create a relaxed environment where you can speak with confidence. Personalized Review After Every Lesson Learning doesn't stop when the lesson ends. After each lesson, I create personalized review materials based on what we actually talked about, including lesson notes, vocabulary, grammar, and practice exercises, so you can keep improving between lessons. I've also worked in Tokyo's IT industry and in multicultural workplaces in Australia, so I can support you in English whenever needed. If you want to: ✅ Speak Japanese naturally and confidently ✅ Enjoy traveling or living in Japan more ✅ Learn with lessons designed just for you I'd love to help you on your Japanese journey. Let's enjoy learning Japanese together!

日本語は読めるけど、話すのが苦手な方、日本の小説を日本語で読んでみたい方、面接やプレゼンの練習をしたい方、敬語やビジネス会話を覚えたい方、文章を書く練習をしたい方、お待ちしています。 私はビジネスをリタイヤした後、何をしようかと考えていたとき、まず思い浮かんだことは、外国語を学んで海外の人たちと交流をするということでした。しかし、逆に、私が日本語を教えることによって、多くの外国の方が日本語を理解し、日本が好きになってくれることのほうが、私のためにも、日本語を学ぶ皆さんのためにも有意義だと考えて、日本語教師になりました。 When I was thinking about what I would do after retiring from business, the first thing that came to mind was to learn a foreign language and interact with people from other countries. However, I thought that it would be more meaningful for me and for people learning Japanese if I could help many foreigners understand the Japanese language and come to love Japan by teaching it to them.

👩🏫 Certified Japanese Teacher|Japanese for Real Connection ☕ You’re having coffee with a Japanese friend. You’ve finished your drinks, and it’s probably time to go. What would you say? If you’re wondering what a Japanese person would actually say, you may be ready to go beyond textbook Japanese. Hello, I’m Nana, a nationally certified Japanese teacher based in Japan. I currently teach international students at a Japanese language school, a vocational school, and a university in Japan. 🌿 Beyond “correct Japanese” My lessons are for learners who already speak some Japanese and want to improve how they communicate with Japanese people. In real communication, Japanese people often: ・soften expressions ・leave things unsaid ・change wording depending on the person or situation ・use expressions you may not find in textbooks These small differences can change how your Japanese comes across to the other person. My lessons are based on polite, respectful Japanese. From there, I help you adjust your expressions to fit the person, situation, and relationship. ✨ My approach Through conversation, I help you: ・refine expressions you already know ・notice how Japanese people actually communicate ・choose wording that fits the situation ・express your thoughts and feelings more effectively I help you update the Japanese you already know for real communication. ✈ My background I’m a former Japan Airlines cabin attendant with professional experience in polite, situation-appropriate communication. 日本語を「正しく話す」だけではなく、 相手と気持ちを共有し、関係を築ける日本語へ🕊️
