Complete beginner
Starting from zero?
Never studied Japanese before? No worries. Everyone starts somewhere, and your first word can be today.
Early learner
Know a little, but shy to speak?
You’ve learned some words and grammar, but real conversation still feels scary. Let’s turn what you know into words you say.
Tired of studying alone
Need someone to talk to?
Apps and textbooks are great, but at some point you just need a real person to practice with.
You don’t need to be perfect. Just say hai!
A Japanese buddy, not just a tutor.
Lessons that feel like chatting with a friend who happens to speak Japanese.
Conversation first
Start speaking from day one, even as a total beginner.
Learn with a buddy
Friendly, relaxed, one-to-one lessons shaped around you.
Mistakes welcome
Try first. Perfect comes later. Every mistake moves you forward.
