In the trial lesson, I’ll first ask about your goals and how long you hope it will take to reach them. Then, we’ll discuss your current level, any textbooks or materials you’d like to use, and your preferred lesson style so we can create the best lesson plan for you. After that, we’ll use the remaining time to start the actual lesson. If you’re able to share some of this information in advance, we can begin the lesson even more smoothly. Let’s enjoy learning together and steadily improve your Japanese with effective and fun lessons!

We will use the textbook GENKI to build a solid foundation in Japanese. You’ll improve your overall Japanese ability by training all four skills—reading, listening, writing, and speaking—in a balanced manner. Starting from zero, you can expect to be able to have basic conversations with native speakers within about one year. Completing both GENKI I and II will prepare you to reach approximately JLPT N4 level.
Recommended for:
– Complete beginners
– Those who want to work or study in Japan in the future
– Those planning to move to Japan someday
– Those who have enough time before traveling to Japan
– Learners aiming to pass JLPT N5 or N4

Standard Course

We will use materials such as Marugoto, Irodori, and online resources to focus on useful vocabulary and phrases in a short period of time.

Intensive Course

You can talk about topics of your choice. I will correct mistakes and introduce more natural expressions during the conversation to help improve your speaking skills. If you’re not sure what to talk about, we can read and discuss a news article appropriate for your level.

Conversation Course

We will work on slightly challenging questions using JLPT prep books and websites and go over the answers together. You will also be assigned homework with questions at or just below your current level to reinforce your basic knowledge.
