A trial session for the students of all levels. Currently 'beginner course (A1)', 'pre-intermediate course (A2)' and 'conversation practice session' are available. Let's discuss which course is suitable for you :)

We focus mainly on conversation practice in the session. If you have your own materials, you can bring them to the class and we will work on them.

This course is ideal for the students who can already hold a conversation in Japanese but struggle with using the right words and expressions or want to improve their pronunciation/accent.
The beginner students can also book this course, but if you would like to take an organized and textbook-based lesson, please consider booking another course.

このコースは会話の練習に重点を置いています。次のような人にとっては最適なコースとなるでしょう。
・もうすでに日本語である程度の会話はできるけれど、自分の意見を表現するのにぴったりな言葉やフレーズがなかなか思いつかないという人
・発音やアクセントをよりよくしたいという人
一緒に楽しみながら会話の練習をして、日本語を上達させましょう！

Conversation practice (All Levels) / 会話の練習

Course for Beginners (A1, JLPTN5) is designed for the students who start learning Japanese from scratch and also for the ones who have little knowledge of Japanese, ex. how to write and read hiragana/katakana.

Course for Pre-Intermediate students (A2, JLPTN4) is designed for pre-intermediate students who already have some basic knowledge of Japanese but still don't have confidence in holding a conversation.

By taking these courses, the students will be able to efficiently improve all the skills (listening, reading, speaking, writing) they need to communicate with Japanese people while having fun.
I will provide all the PDF textbook (irodori), MP3 audio files and additional materials, which we use in the class. The textbook is divided into 18 lessons(A1) and 36 lessons(A2), each lesson consists of several chapters.

Here is an example of what you do in the lesson:
↓
1. Check the goal of the chapter
2. We talk about the situation in the textbook before actually listening to the dialog, which is recorded by the native Japanese speaker with a natural accent, intonation and speed
3. Listen and repeat
4. Listen again and guess what the expressions used in the dialog mean
5. Listen again and do shadowing (= to repeat immediately after the speaker said, in other words, imitating the speaker)
6. Change the words/expressions in the dialog and create your own version of the dialog, then practice it with me
7. Check if you could achieve the goal of the chapter and self-evaluate
8. I'll assign you homework if needed (especially when you learn the new grammar, homework is assigned)

This is just one example of the lesson, sometimes grammar exercises or writing practices are included in the chapter.
But one thing I can say for sure is that in every lesson, you have a lot of listening exercises and so many opportunities to speak.

Thank you very much for reading the description of the course and hope to meet you soon in the session!
