🎁 Free Study Materials!| Aim to be UNDERSTOOD 🗣️ Speaking-focused + detailed feedback 🇯🇵 こんにちは! I'm Taichiro, from Osaka, Japan — now living in Malta 🇲🇹 After graduating from university, I spent 4 years in corporate sales in Japan, then lived in the Philippines, Canada, and Australia before settling in Malta. That mix gave me both an "inside" and "outside" view of Japanese society. Here's what really drives me. As a learner myself, I know the feeling of wondering whether a textbook or anime phrase is something people truly say. I want to help you find the real, living version of Japanese. 🎁 TRIAL LESSON GIFT Take a trial lesson and get a tailored PDF gift! I'll select the best material for your level, from phrase sheets to grammar drills. ― MY LESSONS: SPEAK FIRST, POLISH LATER ― ▶ Talk in class, get detailed feedback after I won't fix every little mistake while you talk. Speak freely; after class, I'll send a detailed Review Sheet with natural phrasing and tips from our conversation. ▶ Don't fear mistakes — perfect isn't the point You don't need perfect grammar here. Mistakes are part of it. If I understand you, that's already a win. ▶ Tailored to you, down to how I speak I adjust not just our topics, but how I speak — my pace, word choice, even Kansai dialect — to match where you are. ― ― ― Whether you want to just talk and build confidence, or dig into the nuances behind the words — what natives really feel, and the culture underneath — there's a lesson here for that. Take a look and pick whatever fits you. Looking forward to talking with you!

I specialize in conversation practice! I also provide Youtube videos of Japanese conversation. Outside of lesson time, I'll introduce you to videos and materials for self-study. A lot of self-study is necessary for beginners who have just started to be able to speak quickly. I'll encourage you and help you while you study on your own! Let's make the lesson time a time to use what you've memorized! If there's something you don't understand, I'll explain it to you. Above all, what I value most in lessons is enjoying conversation. When you speak in your native language, do you make more jokes? Even though it's a lesson, let's talk casually in Japanese just like when you speak in your native language. Casual conversation is also welcome, not just the polite "desu, masu" style!
