Description
This lesson is for complete beginners who would like to start Japanese from the very beginning. You do not need to know hiragana or any Japanese before your first lesson.
We will learn Japanese step by step, with an emphasis on speaking naturally, clear pronunciation and practical communication.
Depending on your goals, lessons may include:
• Greetings and self-introduction
• Useful everyday expressions
• Basic sentence patterns and grammar
• Hiragana and katakana
• Listening and speaking practice
• Japanese pronunciation and pitch accent
• Japanese culture and communication
I have taught Japanese for over 30 years in the UK and Japan, from complete beginners to advanced learners.
Children, teenagers and adults are welcome.
Don't worry about making mistakes — let's start speaking Japanese together!
