Casual Japanese Conversation Practice (N4 and above)

From 33.78 $ /h

I offer relaxed and practical Japanese conversation sessions for learners who already have a basic understanding of the language (around N4 level or above).

This class is not a formal lesson with heavy grammar explanations. Instead, it focuses on helping you become more comfortable speaking Japanese in a natural and supportive environment.

We can practice:
Daily conversation (casual and polite Japanese)
Situational speaking (travel, restaurants, daily life in Japan)
Free conversation based on your interests
Review and light correction using your own textbook if you have one

As a native Japanese speaker with experience working in international environments, I understand how challenging it can be to start speaking a new language. I aim to create a relaxed space where you can practice without pressure.

If you are looking to improve your confidence and fluency, this class is for you.

Extra information

Please come prepared with topics you would like to discuss or any materials you are currently using.
This is a conversation-based session, so active participation is encouraged.

Konnichiwa!こんにちは!

Are you going to Japan? Do you like Mangas? The culture and the Japanese language attract you but you never dared to start?
On the contrary, you already have a good foundation and want to take the JLPT exam? Or maybe you have to speak Japanese at work?

My courses are adaptable according to your level and your objectives:
- Discovery of culture and language (great beginners and false beginners)
- Improvement to prepare JLPT 1-5 exams
- Professional needs

We can work writing and speaking, with a method (Japan Foundation) or any other desired medium.

Whatever your motivation and level, Maki Sensei is here to help! (^ O ^)
