What Students Say

Akari has designed a great program for elementary speakers! The program helped me tremendously with making Japanese part of my routine again and it helped me feel more comfortable forming cohesive thoughts in Japanese. It was also fun to be part of a class with another student. Akari's friendly demeanor, joyful smile, and patience make her truly a standout teacher in our face-to-face conversations.

Thank you so very much for our very nice conversation at this stage of learning. It is very important for me to practice conversation skills and this was the perfect opportunity to do so I enjoyed meeting you and talking about the various subjects we talked about and look forward to our next Zoom meeting. Your speaking style is very easy for me to understand, and the pace of the conversation was also very easy for me to participate in sometimes natural speed conversation is still a bit too fast for me as well as complex topics being a bit too difficult at this stage of my progress The speaking prompts in your voice messages as well as the very useful list of vocabulary have been quite helpful and of course very useful

I struggle with pitch and pronunciation. Akari-san has provided useful feedback, written and audio as well as live in video sessions, improving my speaking and understanding. The vocabulary helps with everyday situations and makes me more comfortable as a new language learner.

Before I started working with Akari-sensei, I had a lot of difficulty forming Japanese sentences in a timely manner. Furthermore, having always focused on learning written terms, listening comprehension wasn't immediate. Through her lessons, I've improved my comprehension and sentence formation, and I'm constantly learning new terminology, usages, and idioms. Working with Akari-sensei allows you to experience the real Japanese language, used in everyday life, which isn't found in textbooks.

Akari Sensei’s program is a great way to get into the habit of speaking Japanese everyday. Speaking a new language can be intimidating at first, but this program is great for taking small steps. Akari Sensei is patient and will provide guidance and feedback when needed. I highly recommend giving this program a try!

I’ve been learning Japanese for a few years now but have no place to practice where I live, which made me lose a lot of what I learned. Akari has been so helpful with working on the things I’ve forgotten. She’s very responsive and easy to schedule calls with and she always helps if I have questions. I’m glad I found Akari and will continue learning with her program!
