ćCourse Introductionć
⨠Course Highlights
You may have heard people say, āEven passing the JLPT N1 doesnāt mean you can speak Japanese.ā Many learners focus heavily on reading and test strategies while neglecting listening and speaking skills.
In my lessons, I emphasize applying what you learn in real-life situationsāsay goodbye to rote memorization and start speaking fluent Japanese with me!
Lessons can be fully customized based on your goals, whether itās improving speaking, writing, or other skills.
šø Beginner Level (Around JLPT N5 to N3)
Start from zero and build a solid foundation in the Japanese syllabary (hiragana & katakana).
Learn essential vocabulary and sentence structures for everyday conversations.
Focus on practical usageāevery new word or grammar point is reinforced with sentence practice in various real-life contexts to ensure it's not just memorized but truly internalized.
Each lesson includes short dialogues to help you develop natural communication skills.
š Intermediate Level (Around JLPT N3 to N2)
Improve reading skills through letters, news articles, and essays while picking up new vocabulary and grammar.
Learn nuanced grammar through themed lessons like āasking for helpā or āinviting someone,ā comparing similar expressions in context.
Pronunciation correction so you can speak Japanese more like a native.
Develop listening comprehension so you can enjoy anime, YouTube, and J-dramas without subtitles.
š³ Advanced Level (Above JLPT N1)
Strengthen your writing and speaking fluency using a wide range of similar expressions tailored to different contexts, helping you master N1 content and beyond.
Practice with actual JLPT N1 test questions to confidently tackle the exam.
Boost your writing skills through tasks like letters and emails, learning to write naturally and clearlyāno more awkward sentences from direct translation.
Learn business Japanese and understand the keigo (honorific language) system and how to balance it with casual speech.
Explore fun and fascinating facts about the Japanese language to deepen your understanding:
