Learn Japanese "in Japanese" with

Chiyoko Sensei

Hi! How are you? I used to live in Central America to study Spanish, so I understand very well that learning a language is challenging and takes a lot of effort.

But if you keep learning, it becomes fun. And when you’re having fun, you want to learn even more, right?

¿Cómo está? Vivía en Centroamérica para estudiar español. Por eso entiendo mucho que aprender un idioma es muy difícil y requiere esfuerzo. Pero si sigues aprendiendo, empezarás a divertirte. Cuando es divertido, quieres aprender más y más.

Note: This teacher is recently accepting only women students.

Teaching Style

I teach Japanese carefully and thoroughly! I use Direct Method, teaching a languale in that language in order to train students to think in Japanese.

I don’t just go through the lessons—I guide students in a way that will benefit them in the long run. I help them develop the ability to think in Japanese and reach their own conclusions. To achieve this, I actively use questions like ‘Why?’, ‘How?’, and ‘In what way?’ to encourage deeper thinking throughout the learning process.

Greetings from Chiyoko Sensei!

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY

The course is great it's straight to the point. The nuances are clearly explained which is very important and very helpful because they don't really explain those in textbooks.

I'm in the midst of the course and it supplements other Japanese material that I am using to learn right now. I love that I can rewind, fast-forward and play the videos according to my learning pace. The PDF slides are handy and helpful in connecting speech to text. Highly recommended 🙂

Product: [Japanese 101] Master Grammar & Conversation Basics

This course is suitable for students who have completed an introductory level course. It will teach you why and when to use different levels of polite language (敬語). Even if you’re not particularly interested in learning highly native colloquial expressions, by the end of the course, you’ll understand why Japanese people use them and what they mean.
