Online Japanese Conversation Lessons

Speak Japanese with Confidence

Speak more, hesitate less. Whether you're a beginner or brushing up, our lessons are designed to help you think in Japanese and speak naturally—with feedback that actually sticks.

"The one-on-one format is exactly what I needed. Both teachers are super patient and always encourage me to speak more. I’ve learned more in a few weeks than I did in months of self-study. "

About Me

Hi, I’m Yuto from Fukui. I lived in Vancouver, Canada for two years working at a startup, so I understand how tough—and rewarding—it is to learn a new language.

I specialize in helping learners understand how Japanese really works, especially when it comes to grammar. Whether you're stuck on something or just want to speak more naturally, I’ll guide you step-by-step with real, practical support.

When I’m not teaching, I’m either traveling or hunting down the next great coffee spot. Let’s chat and build your Japanese together!

About Me

Hi, I’m Mai from Gifu. I spent a year living in New Zealand, so I know how it feels to start speaking a second language—and how important it is to feel comfortable doing it.

I focus on helping learners feel confident speaking Japanese, no matter their level. We’ll build your confidence together—step by step—in a way that feels natural and fun.

When I’m not teaching, I’m either café-hopping or planning my next foodie adventure. Let’s learn in a way that’s light, relaxed, and full of real conversation.
