— Turn Your Japanese Learning into Real Conversations —

Lessons where you can learn both language and culture.
I will support you in building good relationships with Japanese people!

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Recommended lesson for first-time students
▶︎【Trial/Daily 20min】Nagoyaka Japanese conversation
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=


Although you are studying Japanese,

Have you ever thought:

“The Japanese I learned in textbooks is different from real Japanese.”

“I can’t really understand what Japanese people mean.”

“My grammar is correct, but it still sounds unnatural.”


Actually, this is a very natural feeling.

This is because Japanese has the following characteristics:

✓ There is a big difference between written Japanese and spoken Japanese
✓ The way people speak changes depending on the relationship with the listener
✓ People often use indirect expressions while considering the other person’s feelings

Even the same expression can have many variations,
so it can be difficult to understand only through textbooks.


That is why I recommend the following way of learning:

✓ Not only learning from textbooks, but also learning by talking with people
✓ Understanding Japanese culture and ways of thinking in addition to vocabulary and grammar
✓ Learning the communication style that Japanese people prefer


In my lessons, I value both language and culture.

✓ Subtle nuances in Japanese
✓ Natural expressions and the culture behind them
✓ The mindset and feelings of Japanese people

While balancing correctness and naturalness,
I provide careful advice and feedback.


I especially place importance on feedback after the lesson.

“I was able to communicate in Japanese!”
“I had a conversation with a Japanese person!”

Let’s create many successful experiences together♪


If you have any requests for lessons, please feel free to tell me.
Beginners are also very welcome.
Please feel comfortable joining my lessons＾＾


❝ Recommended for ❞

People who want to speak more natural Japanese

✓ Want to know the difference between textbook Japanese and real Japanese
✓ Want to understand Japanese ways of thinking and communication
✓ Want to speak natural Japanese like native speakers

Also, based on my own experience with language learning,
I would especially like to support people with these personalities.

People who want to speak Japanese with confidence

✓ You are not confident about your Japanese
✓ You are a perfectionist and dislike making mistakes
✓ You are introverted and find speaking difficult
✓ You get nervous easily

If you are new, I recommend starting with
【Trial/Daily 20min】Nagoyaka Japanese conversation


❝ Lesson Atmosphere ❞

In my lessons, I value creating a gentle and relaxed atmosphere.

The word “Nagoyaka” means relaxed and comfortable.

Even if you are afraid of making mistakes or tend to feel nervous,
you can take my lessons with confidence.

During the lesson, I usually let you speak until the end without interrupting too often,
and then provide feedback afterward.

I always try to create an environment where students can speak Japanese comfortably.

If you would like to know the lesson atmosphere and style,
please try 【Trial/Daily 20min】Nagoyaka Japanese conversation.

About lesson content

✓ I will do my best to follow your requests, but depending on your goals and level, I may suggest a different lesson.

✓ If the lesson content does not match your goals, I may decline the lesson request.

About the camera

✓ It is completely fine to keep your camera OFF.

If you prefer not to use the camera, please let me know when you send the request.
※ In that case, I will also turn my camera OFF.

✓ Please write a short self-introduction when you request your first lesson.
(Japanese or your native language is OK!)
