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。

I find that my anxiety related to speaking Japanese has greatly reduced with each session. Taka san continues to be so patient and supportive. He helps keep the conversation flowing. I am learning so much new vocabulary for every day use, which helps greatly reduce frustration when trying to express myself. I look forward to next week's lesson!

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!

Great catching up 😄 with Taka

I am slowly and steadily increasing my Japanese vocabulary- especially with words that we may not come across in textbooks. I enjoyed yet another intriguing conversation. I really appreciate how Taka san helps keep the conversation flowing!
