Japanese you actually use! Learn real Japanese with native local uni student. Not a textbook-type teacher, practical, spontaneous, and fun!

Everyone from Beginners to advanced!
Want to learn real casual Japanese from someone who actually uses it?
Whether you’re casually curious or getting ready to go to Japan, I’m here to help — we can meet right here in Brno!

I’m a natural at mixing Japanese while talking in English, so you’ll get used to it in no time!
You can learn Japanese as if you are talking to a friend, or I can also be teacher-like if that’s more comfortable!

If you are more advanced, and want to learn formal/business Japanese, of course! I can guide you the proper etiquette, manners, phrases(敬語), etc...since I have experiences working in 4 star hotels in Tokyo.
If you are curious about other cases, feel free to contact me.

I’m a Japanese university student currently living in Brno.
I spent over 5 years in the U.S., so I can explain things clearly in English (IELTS 7.5), and I’m especially great at explaining how to pronounce and explaining grammar/culture from unique perspectives!
— no confusing grammar talk unless you want it (no worries, I will be flexible!)

If you’re planning to visit or study in Japan, I can help you feel confident before you go:
from ordering food and asking for directions to cultural tips and everyday manners. I will provide you on how to actually survive and have a blast!

If you’re just interested in the language or culture, we can keep it casual and fun — talking about anime, music, trends, or anything else you’re into.

I focus on real-life Japanese — including slang, casual speech, and expressions that textbooks won’t teach you — especially those used by young people.

Lessons are relaxed, flexible, and built around your pace, interests, and schedule.

Let’s make learning Japanese something you look forward to!!

Reviews (1)

I really enjoyed my lesson with Ran. I managed to learn a great deal even just from our first session. She was really considerate of my goals at the beginning, and after gauging my current level, was able to strike a great balance that wasn't too easy or too difficult for me to grasp. She was well-prepared, and really kind and patient with me. She was really easy to communicate and get along with. I can tell that she really loves what she does, and puts her best effort into her lessons.
