This class is perfect for complete beginners as well as learners who would like to start studying Japanese again.

Don’t worry if you cannot read Hiragana, Katakana, or Kanji yet. You can begin with Romaji, and we will gradually learn the Japanese writing systems together.

In the beginner classes, we use my original textbook and you will learn the essential grammar and sentence structures needed to build Japanese sentences. We will study Japanese word order step by step and practise creating simple, useful sentences that you can use in everyday life. If there are any commercial textbooks or materials that you would prefer to use in the class, that is also more than welcome.

This class is also suitable for learners who are considering taking the JLPT. We will begin by building a clear foundation in Japanese grammar and gradually develop your reading and listening comprehension skills. JLPT-focused practice can also be introduced step by step according to your current level and target exam.

In each lesson, you will:

● Receive original lesson materials
● Practise listening and repeating with me
● Work on clear and accurate pronunciation
● Learn useful everyday vocabulary, expressions, and similar phrases
● Practise building your own Japanese sentences
● Gradually develop your reading and listening comprehension skills
● Receive homework when appropriate to reinforce what you have learned

You do not need any previous knowledge of Japanese. We will begin at a level that feels comfortable for you and steadily build your confidence and your ability to communicate in Japanese.

Class for beginners

This class is designed for learners who already have a basic knowledge of Japanese and would like to improve their practical communication skills. For example, you may already be able to use greetings appropriate to different social situations and build simple Japanese sentences.

It is especially suitable for learners who want to describe situations, experiences, and feelings in greater detail, understand spoken Japanese more accurately, and become more confident in conversation.

During the lessons, you will take part in guided question-and-answer practice using familiar topics such as your daily routine, recent experiences, plans, and opinions. We may also read short articles and exchange opinions about them. Through regular practice, you will learn how to use grammar more naturally and form clear sentences.

This class is also suitable for learners preparing for the JLPT. We will create a structured lesson plan based on your target level, exam date, current strengths, and areas that need improvement. We will then work steadily through the necessary grammar, vocabulary, Kanji, reading, and listening skills, reviewing your progress and adjusting the plan when needed.

In each lesson, you will:
● Receive original lesson materials
● Practise answering questions and developing your answers
● Learn related vocabulary, expressions, and similar phrases
● Receive corrections and practical feedback
● Have your Japanese writing reviewed and corrected
● Receive JLPT-focused practice when appropriate
● Receive homework when needed to reinforce what you have learned

The lessons will be adjusted to your current level and personal goals, helping you gradually express yourself in greater detail, communicate more naturally, and make steady progress towards your JLPT goal.

Business Japanese : job interview

This class is designed for Japanese learners who would like a clear, structured study routine throughout the week.

You will have one lesson per week and receive practice exercises to complete on three to five days each week.

The weekly lesson will focus mainly on speaking and reading practice—skills that can be difficult to develop through independent study and input alone. You will actively use what you have learned and gradually turn your knowledge into practical communication skills.

If you have any questions while completing your assignments, you can write them in our shared Google Doc. I will respond to your questions there and provide guidance between lessons.

This programme offers a consistent learning routine through structured lessons, regular independent practice, and ongoing support.
