Interested in learning Japanese? I’m more than happy to help you.
Sorry but I’m currently not accepting any new students (2017), but I’d like to leave this post for your reference.
We’re all busy living our lives. Let’s stay efficient.
The key to success in learning a language is for YOU (learner) and I (teacher) to stay on the same track.
You landed on this page because you think you want to learn Japanese. Then you should have a good reason WHY you want to do this.
Please take a moment to think, why you want to dunk your head in the world of Japanese.
…..got your answer?
There will come a time when you start to get sick of this language (it happens to EVERYbody).
But if you always remember WHY you wanted to do this in the first place and be passionate about it, you’ll be able to overcome your de-motivation.
And what’s more important, if I know WHY you want to learn Japanese, we can set your goal TOGETHER.
I can cut all the unnecessary stuff for you so you can achieve your goal faster and leave you with satisfaction.
So I repeat, WHY do you want to learn Japanese?
Here I have a questionnaire for you to brainstorm and rethink about your goal.
