About Us
How Our Classes Work
Our classes are modeled after the immersive Japanese classroom experience. Teachers speak only Japanese, ensuring students adapt quickly to listening and speaking in real-life situations. Lessons follow the proven structure of traditional Japanese teaching methods, enhanced with tailored, one-on-one support to meet your specific goals.
Whether your goal is to travel to Japan and confidently navigate restaurants and shops or simply make Japanese friends, we’ll create a study plan that prepares you for success in real-world scenarios.
Who Are These Classes For?
Our lessons are designed for absolute beginners with busy schedules who want to learn the essentials before a trip to Japan or to start building friendships with Japanese speakers. We focus on practical, real-world language skills.
Meet Moeno
Moeno is a native Japanese speaker with a passion for teaching and sharing Japanese culture. She has always dreamed of creating content about Japan and the Japanese language. Currently studying English, Moeno aspires to become a professional translator in the future.
Meet Irving
Irving is a software engineer and content creator born in America to Dominican parents. Inspired by his love for Japanese city pop music, he began self-studying Japanese during the COVID pandemic. After four years of slow progress, Irving moved to Kyoto and immersed himself in Japanese classes for six months, learning more in that time than he had in years of self-study.
Why Learn with Us?
Together, Moeno and Irving combine a native speaker’s cultural and linguistic expertise with the experience of someone who has studied and lived in Japan. Moeno’s passion for teaching and Irving’s insights as a learner make them the perfect team to help you achieve your short-term goals, whether it’s preparing for a trip or building lasting connections with Japanese speakers.
