Hi! I’m a native Japanese speaker based in Kobe. I’m currently a medical student, and I have also worked in professional environments where I regularly communicated in both Japanese and English.
My lessons are especially suitable for people who want to improve practical, natural Japanese for everyday life in Japan. We can focus on conversation, pronunciation, useful expressions, or Japanese that you actually encounter at work, university, restaurants, hospitals, shops, and while traveling.
If something is difficult to understand in Japanese, I can explain it in English, so beginners are very welcome. For intermediate or advanced learners, I can also help you sound more natural and explain differences in nuance, politeness, and how Japanese people actually speak in different situations.
I’m happy to adapt lessons to your interests and goals. Rather than simply memorizing textbook phrases, I’d like to help you become comfortable actually using Japanese in Kobe and everyday life.
Kobe is a great place to learn Japanese because you can practice it in everyday situations while still finding many international communities and English-friendly places. You don’t need to speak perfectly from the beginning. Even a few useful phrases can quickly make daily life easier, and regular conversation practice helps a lot.
Japanese can look difficult at first, especially reading, kanji, and different levels of politeness. However, basic conversation is much more approachable than many learners expect. You can start communicating with simple sentence patterns quite early. I can also explain difficult points in English and focus on the Japanese that is most useful for your daily life.
