Practical Japanese lessons for all levels with a friendly approach and conversation practice

My lessons are friendly, practical and adapted to each learner. If you are a complete beginner, we can start with the basics and gradually build your confidence. I can explain Japanese in English when needed, so you don’t have to worry about understanding everything from the beginning. I like to include plenty of speaking and conversation practice. Rather than only memorising vocabulary and grammar, we can practise Japanese that you could actually use in everyday situations. For example, we can practise introducing yourself, ordering food, asking for directions, talking about your interests, or preparing for a trip to Japan. The lessons can also change depending on your goals. If you want to improve your conversation skills, we can focus more on speaking. If you are preparing for a trip, we can focus on useful travel Japanese. If you are interested in Japanese culture, we can use cultural topics to learn new vocabulary and expressions. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. You don’t need to speak perfect Japanese during our lessons. Trying, making mistakes and trying again are all part of learning. My goal is for you to finish each lesson feeling that you have learned something useful and feel a little more confident using Japanese. If you’re not sure what kind of lesson would suit you, just tell me what you would like to achieve, and we can work it out together.
