Learn Japanese Through Your Story|Conversation-Focused|Australia & 5-Star Hospitality Speak First. Fluency Follows. You don't become fluent before you speak. You become fluent because you speak.

I'm Ryo and I've taught over 800 online Japanese lessons to students from around the world. My lessons focus on real conversation, not just textbooks.

Most Japanese people care more about what you want to say than perfect grammar. My goal is to create a relaxed environment where you can speak with confidence.

After each lesson, I create personalized review materials based on what we actually talked about, including lesson notes, vocabulary, grammar, and practice exercises, so you can keep improving between lessons.
