Beginner‑friendly Japanese lessons with clear English grammar support to help you speak confidently Hi, I’m Chihiro—a native Japanese speaker from Nagasaki, now based in Australia. With a background as a nurse, I genuinely enjoy supporting people as they learn and grow. I specialize in helping adult beginners start their Japanese journey with confidence. My lessons are friendly, clear, and always tailored to your needs—especially if you appreciate step-by-step explanations in English. Outside teaching, I love learning new languages, practicing yoga, traveling, and spending time with animals. I believe that steady progress leads to real results—“Practice makes perfect” is my motto! If you’re looking for a patient, encouraging teacher who understands the challenges of starting something new, I’d love to help you reach your Japanese goals. Looking forward to meeting you soon! またねー :)

Please check out Udemy's English course Amber & Nikki's English conversations and test prep! Motivating language students online can be a difficult task since you don't get to meet them in person. In general, I don't believe it's effective to assign numerous grammar lessons. My lesson plan for the beginner to intermediate learners focuses on conversational Japanese, practicing repetition of sentences describing their daily lives in present or past tenses. This would build their vocabulary and grammatical skills in the process. Through my lessons, students have demonstrated to be more fluent and motivated.

Nice to meet you. My name is TAKASHI. Please feel free to call me TAKA 😄 I’m 37 years old and from Osaka, Japan. I love traveling and have visited many different countries. I have also lived in Australia 🇦🇺 and Italy 🇮🇹, and I can speak English and Italian. Through my own experience of learning foreign languages, I realized that the most important thing is: “to increase the opportunities to actually use the language you are studying.” No matter how much you study grammar and vocabulary, if you don’t have enough chances to speak, it can be difficult to use the language naturally. For the above reasons, I decided that it is important to focus on conversation-centered free-talk in my lessons, first of all, to create many opportunities for you to talk about topics you like, so that you can get used to speaking. And in my lessons, I focus on creating a relaxed atmosphere where you can speak a lot of Japanese. I have had the opportunity to talk with people from many different countries, and each time I have taught them a little about Japanese culture and the language, I have a desire to explain my country to people from more countries. Ok now, let's talk together😎👍🏻

JLPT N1/N2 Reading Strategy|Structured Exam Preparation My teaching style is analytical, structured, and goal-oriented. Students say I explain grammar clearly, but what makes my lessons different is the strategy training for JLPT reading. We don’t just read. We break down the structure of the text. We learn how exam questions are created. We practice solving efficiently. Advanced Japanese is abstract and layered. I teach you how to navigate that complexity. Mistakes are welcome — they are clues to improve your score.
