Enrollment Steps

Araki-sensei has been incredibly accommodating and flexible with our lesson structure. In my case, general conversation practice and weekly readings from my choice of manga.

We have discussed everything from Japanese virtual youtubers, to daikon prep, to the best ways of drying a cat after a bath. So far, we have read Naoki Urasawa’s Pluto and are working our way through Osamu Tezuka’s classic Hi no Tori. So fun!

Araki-sensei is great—infinite patience and encouragement, and engaging lessons! The sustained weekly practice has improved all aspects of my Japanese, as well as my confidence. It makes all the difference.

I look forward to my lesson every week. Highly recommended!
荒木先生、これからもよろしくおねがいします。

I previously studied Japanese in a traditional classroom setting, but I find this format more effective because of the individualized attention and the convenience of online lessons.

My teacher, Nakano-sensei, is absolutely wonderful—patient, encouraging, and very attentive to how I learn. She adjusts each lesson to focus on areas I need to work on, which has made a noticeable difference for me as a beginner, especially with pronunciation.

The lessons are structured but flexible, making it easier to stay consistent without feeling overwhelmed. Nakano-sensei also creates a comfortable, supportive environment where I can ask questions and make mistakes without hesitation, which has been important for building confidence.

I’ve been exposed to Japanese for years, but this is the first time I’ve felt more confident actually using it.

I would definitely recommend Nihongo-Pro to anyone looking for a personalized and effective way to learn Japanese.
