In the trial lesson, we will have a brief interview first.If you have studied Japanese before, we will quiz you on hiragana and katakana. (Your favorite character may also appear on my slides.)

After that, I will give a short demonstration of the lesson.
I am not fluent in English. But I will give lessons in Japanese and simple English.
I always use zoom in my lessons. (Because the connection in italki class room is not good sometimes.)

This lesson is for learners who can already speak simple Japanese sentences. Advanced learners are also very welcome!During the lesson, we will speak mostly in Japanese. If you want to maintain or improve your Japanese, this lesson is a great place to practice speaking in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

If you have a topic you’d like to talk about, let’s talk about that! I especially enjoy talking about anime, manga, history, movies, and books. If you tell me your favorite anime, manga, movie, or book before the lesson, I’ll be happy to prepare questions and conversation topics just for you.

Don’t worry if you can’t think of a topic. I use a variety of conversation tools and prompts to help us find fun topics, so you’ll never run out of things to talk about.

During our conversation, I’ll naturally correct Japanese that sounds unnatural or could be considered impolite, helping you speak more naturally and confidently.

Free conversation (Anime Talk OK)

This lesson is perfect for beginners, whether you’re learning Japanese for the first time or starting over from the beginning.

I mainly use the textbook GENKI (3rd Edition). You’ll learn greetings, essential grammar, useful vocabulary, and everyday conversation while also discovering Japanese culture.

I teach in simple English and Japanese, so even complete beginners can feel comfortable.

Before each lesson, please read the grammar explanations and vocabulary pages in GENKI. During the lesson, we’ll spend most of our time practicing conversation using what you’ve learned. A little preparation before each lesson will help you improve much faster!

Although we follow the textbook, I use my own original slides instead of teaching directly from the book. I personalize the lessons based on your interests, and you’ll practice with lots of illustrations. If you like anime, your favorite characters might even appear in the lesson materials!

For students who have already mastered basic grammar (pre-intermediate to intermediate level), I use original materials based on Marugoto Nihongo instead of GENKI. No preparation is required for these lessons.

Beginner Japanese | Fun & Practical Lessons

This course is designed for learners who want to improve their Japanese with regular homework and personalized feedback. It is especially recommended for complete beginners and students who are about to learn hiragana and katakana.

I use different textbooks depending on your level and goals, including GENKI (3rd Edition), Marugoto, and Irodori (recommended for people living in Japan).

You’ll learn greetings, essential grammar, useful vocabulary, everyday conversation, and Japanese culture. I teach in simple English and Japanese, so even complete beginners can learn with confidence.

If you’re learning Japanese for the first time or starting over from the beginning, we’ll mainly use GENKI (3rd Edition).

Before each lesson, I’ll send you personalized homework to help you prepare for the next lesson. I’ll check your homework before class and give you feedback in advance.

By studying the grammar before class, you’ll spend less time listening to explanations and more time actually using Japanese during the lesson through a variety of practice activities. This is one of the fastest ways to build confidence and improve your Japanese.

Although we follow the textbook, I use my own original slides instead of teaching directly from the book. I personalize the lessons based on your interests, and you’ll practice with lots of illustrations. If you like anime, your favorite characters might even appear in the lesson materials!
