I truly recommend Taka's Japanese conversational class to anyone who is interested in spoken Japanese. I started with very little confidence on myself. Today I am able to hear and converse with him without fear of making my mistakes .

最近400レッスンを超えました。記念すべきことだと思うのでこの度感謝の気持ちを沢山込めて書かせていただきます。会話を中心して細かいことまで、相槌などなど教えてもらって気づいたらコミュニケーションを取れるようになってきました。お陰様で日本にいる間に映画を見に行ったりコンサートに行ったり色んなイベントを参加したりすることもできて友達も出来ました。Taka先生いつもありがとうございます！これからも何卒宜しくお願い致します。

Taka is an OG!! We have been practising my Japanese for over a year now, over 50+ lessons. He is funny, curious and makes it interesting to learn. He is learning english as well so even over a year he keeps improving on his explanations to me in english which is great. I highly reccommend Taka, he is a friend to his students and there's a reason for that!

I'm coming up on 200 lessons with Taka-san and have enjoyed every one! I still look forward to each lesson and feel that I have improved a lot since I began lessons with him. Taka-san is very easy to get along with, he has a relaxed style and guides you to speaking natural Japanese like a native. You will need to expose yourself to natural Japanese because everyday spoken Japanese is not what is taught in textbooks. Taka-san does a great job of guiding you to speak naturally and shows you how Japanese conversations normally flow. He will guide you to the correct words and phrases to use. He is constantly reminding me about 'aizuchi', or the short responses/phrases you need to use to ensure the speaker knows you are listening, because I always forget. I understand so much more conversational Japanese after taking lessons with Taka-san. You won't regret taking a lesson with Taka-san, that's why I keep doing it!

This is my tenth week conversing with Taka san- and it has been FANTASTIC! With his encouragement and guidance, I am feeling more confident with speaking. I am also learning so much vocabulary that comes up in natural conversation, that you wouldn't necessarily come across in textbooks. He continues to challenge me to think outside of the box and have a great time doing it.

Great catching up 😄 with Taka
