  Each week includes hiragana practice, simple greetings, and everyday vocabulary.

Because each lesson is independent, new students can join anytime and still fully participate.

Class Experience

In each class, learners will:

• Explore new hiragana characters
 • Practice useful Japanese phrases
 • Enjoy role-playing activities
 • Build confidence using Japanese in a friendly environment

My Teaching Style

My teaching style is patient, engaging, and encouraging.

I support each student while guiding them to discover answers themselves.
  This helps learners develop problem-solving skills and a deeper understanding of Japanese.

Class Flexibility and Support Options

Please note that classes may not always follow the exact order written in the description.
  I adjust the pace and content based on the needs of the students in each class.

If you would like to:

• switch to a different class time
  • join a class that is slightly ahead

please feel free to contact me. I am happy to help find the best option.

Since this is a group class, the pace is set for the whole group.
  If you prefer lessons tailored to your child’s pace, private lessons are also available.
