Good lessons make you forget you're studying. こんにちは! I'm Aki. I help learners become more comfortable with Japanese by using it together in a relaxed, natural way. In my lessons, we focus on expressions that people actually use. You'll hear them, use them, and gradually become familiar with them through conversation. If you're a beginner, I'll prepare simple notes to help you follow along. After conversation lessons, I'll also send you useful words and expressions from our lesson so you can review them later or add them to your own flashcards. I've taught students from many countries and backgrounds, and I've learned that everyone learns differently. Rather than following a fixed method, I adjust each lesson to suit you, your level, and what you want to achieve. My goal is simple: to help you feel more at ease using Japanese in everyday situations and enjoy the process of getting there.
