I've been away for a while — sorry for any inconvenience that caused. I'm excited to let you know that lessons are back!
 
 
 
As I return, I'd like to focus on free conversation. The most valuable thing I can offer isn't the Japanese you find in textbooks, but the language as it actually breathes in everyday conversation. With that in mind, here are three things I'll be bringing to each lesson:
 
 
 
Conversation with depth
 
I'd like to go beyond the surface of words and gently touch what lies beneath them.
 
 
 
The nuance only a native speaker can feel
 
The atmosphere, warmth, and texture of language that never quite makes it into a dictionary — I'll share that straight from a native speaker's instinct.
 
 
 
Your own Japanese
 
The more we work together, the more I get to know you as a person. When that happens, I'd love for us to find ways of expressing yourself that feel genuinely like you.
 
 
 
And in a time when technology is moving faster than ever, I've been feeling the value of keeping things a little more analog. There are things that can only happen when two people are in the same room, breathing the same air — and I think language is one of them.
 
So, I'm planning to start offering in-person lessons at a café before long. For now, I'll be keeping it to Tokyo or Osaka, but if you're interested, feel free to reach out.
 
 
 
I'm looking forward to working together again:))
