WHAT OUR STUDENT SAYS

Pao

Product: [Speak Like a Native] Real Japanese for Everyday Conversations

"The course is great it's straight to the point. The nuances are clearly explained which is very important and very helpful because they don't really explain those in textbooks."

Poppy

Product: [Japanese 101] Master Grammar & Conversation Basics

"I'm in the midst of the course and it supplements other Japanese material that I am using to learn right now. I love that I can rewind, fast-forward and play the videos according to my learning pace. The PDF slides are handy and helpful in connecting speech to text. Highly recommended :)"

Tsai

[Speak Like a Native] Real Japanese for Everyday Conversations

"This course is suitable for students who have completed an introductory level course. It will teach you why and when to use different levels of polite language (敬語). Even if you’re not particularly interested in learning highly native colloquial expressions, by the end of the course, you’ll understand why Japanese people use them and what they mean."

About your teacher

Hi, I’m Saya, and I’ve been teaching Japanese for nearly 10 years. I currently live in Spain. After sitting through my fair share of language classes with nothing to show for them but disjointed vocabulary and shaky grammar, I realised that language learners need lessons they can actually use to speak and connect in everyday situations.

Why I Made These Courses

What motivated me to create these courses was seeing the real struggles my students and followers face. I designed them to address those challenges directly, making them perfect for learners who want to improve specific areas of their Japanese — whether you’re just starting and need a structured foundation, or you’ve moved past the basics and want to speak or write more naturally.

Language learning can take many forms — private lessons, apps, or self-study — but when it comes to focusing on a particular area, on-demand lessons are ideal. With these video courses, I can pack exactly what you need into each lesson. You can study at your own pace, revisit the points you need, and fully absorb the material anytime, anywhere.
