Enrollment Steps

In December 2020, I finished the 100th Japanese lesson with Kawamura-sensei at Nihongo-Pro. I started studying Japanese in 2018. Although I live in a mid-size U.S. city, there are few options when it comes to learning the language. Adding to that, I value the convenience of online Japanese learning.

Nihongo-Pro provides what I need exceptionally at an affordable price. Their set up is easy and their online learning platform gives me a wonderful learning experience especially under the guidance of my teacher, Kawamura-sensei.

Kawamura-sensei is experienced and patient. Besides following the curriculum outlined by the Genki textbook series, I learn a lot about Japan and its culture through my casual conversation with Kawamura-sensei. Little by little, I have become more confident in reading, speaking and writing Japanese. As a result, I have decided to work harder and attempt JLPT N5 in about 6 months! I hope someday I will be able to read the work by some of my favorite Japanese writers in their native tongue.

I've been living in Japan for quite a few years but my Japanese isn't great. I knew I wanted to study but my schedule doesn't allow me to attend a class here so I decided to look for one online. I found Nihongo-Pro and, while I was reading teacher's profiles, I found Michiko Nakano—I just knew she would be a great teacher and I was right!

Michiko is a wonderful Japanese teacher. I really enjoy learning with her and I felt my Japanese improving after only a handful of sessions. She takes into consideration what I want to learn and what I already know as she plans my lessons. The classroom is great and I love that I get a file to review after each lesson. She makes learning Japanese fun—we laugh a lot! I truly enjoy my classes and plan on continuing them with her for a long time.

I'm so glad I found my Nihongo-Pro teacher!
