As usual, I had a great lesson with the Specialist. He is always patient in answering any questions I have about Japanese grammar.

I'm so astonished by how professional Shuji Sensei is! He is the expert among the experts of Japanese! He answered my questions which existed in my brain for so many years! How I hate myself for not starting lessons with Shuji Sensei earlier! 先生、どうぞよろしくお願いいたします!

Japanese Specialist is the only teacher I know who teaches the rules of Japanese accent in systematic way. Other Japanese teachers will correct your pronunciation only if you get it so horribly wrong as to be incomprehensible. Japanese Specialist is different. He teaches you how to vary the pitch within Japanese words and phrases to achieve natural, native-like intonation. If you have a musical ear or have studied a tonal language like Mandarin Chinese as a second language, you will easily understand the principles of Japanese intonation once they are explained to you. Otherwise, you may find this method of study extremely challenging. I highly recommend this teacher for students with a good ear for language and a serious interest in achieving a good accent.

Thank you for the nice class! I have been studying Japanese for around a year (still a beginner), but I never had anyone work with me on my pronunciation before. I am very happy to have dived into this now with the excellent guidance by sensei. I am looking forward to our future classes already. We also made a lesson plan adjusted to the fact that I am travelling to Japan in the summer, which I am grateful for. Thank you!
