    For N3+ learners. I’m Kota, a conversation trainer who turns what you know into Japanese you can actually use. You understand grammar. You know the words. But in real situations, they don’t come out. It’s not a lack of knowledge. It’s how you use it. We train your Japanese to move — without relying on a translator. Let’s practice.

Hisashi-san is an Amazing teacher! He is super friendly and easy to talk to, which has helped my confidence in spoken Japanese tremendously. He tailors every lesson to my needs and the materials are always organized and high-quality. I love the way he conducts the class—the time flies by because the flow is so natural.

I've been learning with Sigel-sensai for almost three years. He's very patient and able to explain Japanese words/gramma/sentence very clearly to me. It's very enjoyable having his classes.
