    Hello! Want to speak Japanese but not sure where to start?


    I’m here to help you, even if you’re a complete beginner, to gradually speak simple Japanese with English support.


    No prior experience is needed. I’ll guide you patiently and clearly.


    Hi everyone! I’m Yuki.


    I was born and raised in Osaka, and now I live in the Philippines.


    I hold a Japanese teaching qualification and have been teaching beginner Japanese online for the past two years.


    In my lessons, I’ll use English to provide clear support.


    So far, I’ve taught complete beginners who have never studied Japanese before.


    Of course, I also support conversation practice for those who have learned the basics.


    Which one are you?


    1. I’m new to Japanese but really want to learn.

    2. I’ve learned the basics and want to practice conversation.


    People from Osaka are the most talkative in Japan.

    Let’s have fun chatting!


    Mistakes are part of learning.

    I’ll guide you step by step.


    The most important thing when learning a language is the desire to "communicate."


    Let’s practice real conversations step by step! 😊


    For complete beginners:


    - I hold a Japanese teaching qualification and have two years of experience teaching beginner Japanese online.

    - First, we’ll learn "Hiragana" and "Katakana" to build a foundation in Japanese.

    - After that, let’s practice daily conversations using a textbook! 😊


    For those who have learned basic Japanese:


    - Want to practice conversation with a native speaker?

    - Let’s use your previous learning to talk about daily conversations and Japanese culture.

    - You can practice in a fun and friendly Osaka style! 😊


    For those starting Japanese for the first time:


    Sample lesson plan (3 times a week):

    Month 1: Be able to introduce yourself.

    Month 2: Talk about things around you.

    Month 3: Discuss places.

    Month 4: Talk about time and tenses.

    Month 5: Have conversations about going and coming.


    For those who have learned basic Japanese:


    Sample lesson plan:


    Practice small talk and work-related conversations as colleagues.

    Travel in Japan and converse with locals at restaurants and in the city.

    Answer questions about daily life events while having conversations.


    Let’s talk a lot in 50 minutes and improve your Japanese skills! 😊

      Yuki-sensei is an excellent teacher. His lessons feel very natural and he is very good at adapting them for my personal needs, as well as including things that are interesting to me. I'm very happy with my progress with him so far!

      My lessons with Yuki-sensei have been extremely helpful. He chooses topics that interest me, discusses them in a lively way and clearly explains the questions of grammar that I have difficulty with. After each lesson he sends me notes on the ground we've covered. This is particularly useful because I can go over points that would otherwise have been forgotten. It means I have a complete record of the work we've done. I would certainly recommend Yuki-sensei to anyone who wants a patient and good-humoured teacher.

      Yuki Sensei is a very well-prepared teacher. Together, we reviewed everything I previously knew about Japanese, and now we are moving on to new grammar. He is very funny and accommodating, and he makes me feel free to express myself during lessons. He also provides the necessary materials for self-study during the week, so I can best prepare for the next lessons.
