Japanese is not something you master overnight. But if you continue in a way that fits you and enjoy the process, you will definitely improve. The most important thing is not leaving your questions unanswered — and building small "I did it!" moments step by step.

“She is incredibly kind and lovely. Most importantly, she speaks English and Korean fluently, so even as a beginner in Japanese, I had no difficulty communicating. Her explanations were clear and easy to follow, which made the lesson very effective. I enjoyed it so much that I would definitely like to continue learning with her:))”

“10 stars, Sato-sensei and Kind Japanese are amazing, highly recommended! Lessons are fun and engaging with real results. I was intimidated initially, but during the trial lesson Sato-sensei explained the curriculum/teaching approach in a way that removed all doubt. After 26 lessons, I can confidently say the custom-tailored lessons have helped tremendously with learning and retention. With each building naturally on previous material, expanding vocabulary, applying it through conversation.”

“It’s been 1 month since I started with Japanese lessons with Ms. Sato and my Japanese has improved greatly. I’ve learned to: • Proficiently read Hiragana/Katakana • ⁠Express my actions • Ask/give for directions • Tell time • Usage of てけい form • Difference between casual and formal convo • Counting items/people If you want to seriously learn Japanese or just have a basic conversation skills, I highly recommend Ms. Sato and Kind Japanese.”
