Reviews (17)

Following our first Japanese lesson at home with Asako, I can say I had a very good time with a patient and gentle teacher despite my rusty Japanese. We worked on oral conversation, reading and a little writing; It was a pleasure and the time passed very quickly. Asako is very flexible on the intensity of the classes according to my personal needs and motivation, which is why I was looking for private lessons outside of school so I am satisfied.

Learning Japanese for Traveling and conversation with japanese.
Are you planning a trip to Japan? The truth is, most Japanese people don’t speak much English. While they may try to communicate using a few words, knowing even a little Japanese can be incredibly helpful! It will also make them happy and even more welcoming. In this class, I will focus on practical conversation, based on my experience as a tour guide. We’ll cover essential Japanese phrases that my guests often wanted to learn while traveling. With this knowledge, you’ll be able to enjoy conversations with locals, creating unforgettable memories on your trip to Japan.
