Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1: Do I need to know how to read and write Japanese before starting?
Not at all. We will prioritize conversation to get you speaking immediately. If you wish, we can gradually introduce Hiragana and Katakana to help perfect your pronunciation.
Question 2: Are the lessons conducted in Japanese or English?
Both. I use English for clear explanations of nuances and gradually shift to Japanese as you progress. This ensures a stress-free and effective learning experience.
Question 3: Do you offer JLPT preparation?
My private lessons focus on authentic communication and cultural connection. I specialize in helping you enjoy deep conversations and elevate your travel experiences. For those specifically seeking JLPT certification, I offer a separate, dedicated course—please contact me for details.
Question 4: How does this differ from standard language schools?
I teach "language + mindset." Beyond grammar, you will learn the etiquette and subtle nuances of Japanese culture. For example, instead of a blunt "No," you’ll learn sophisticated ways to decline while maintaining harmony.
Question 5: How long and how often are the lessons?
Standard private lessons are 60 minutes, while Casual Conversation sessions are 30 minutes.
Most clients choose to meet once or twice a week. I offer flexible scheduling to fit your lifestyle—we can determine the ideal rhythm for you during our initial consultation.
Question 6: Can I change my course or frequency later?
Absolutely. Your lifestyle and goals may evolve, and I am here to support those changes. Whether you wish to increase your sessions for an upcoming trip to Japan or switch to a more relaxed pace, we can adjust your plan at any time.
If you have any other questions or specific cultural interests you'd like to explore, I am always here to help.
