Before the trial lesson (via chat)

Before our lesson, I will ask you:

• Your current Japanese level
• Your reason for learning Japanese and your goals
• Which course you would like to experience (if you have one in mind)

If you are not sure, I will prepare a suitable sample lesson for you.

During the trial lesson

• About 10 minutes of free talk in simple Japanese (based on your answers, hobbies, and background)
• About 15 minutes of a sample lesson from the selected course

After the trial lesson

I will send you feedback and explain which course is the best fit for you and your goals.

※CAUTION 
30minutes →　25minutes 　 
I take a 5-minute break if my next lesson is booked right after your lesson.
