Enrollment Steps

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.

After three years of self-directed study of Japanese, I decided I needed help.While I had learned kanji, vocabulary and some grammar, I knew that I had yet to achieve my goal of being able to speak Japanese casually. For help, I turned to Nihongo-Pro.

Over the past six months, my weekly lessons with Yamamoto Sensei have improved my understanding of Japanese grammar and challenged me in the best way to grow my understanding and fluency of Japanese. I am encouraged by what I have learned so far, and I am confident that my goals are within reach.

There are many resources available for free and at a cost to help you learn Japanese—I've tried many of them—but being able to ask Yamamoto Sensei specific questions as they come up in our classes, get real-time feedback, and have a learning strategy tailored to my level are the advantages of studying Japanese through Nihongo-Pro. I highly recommend trying a lesson, and you'll see the difference between Nihongo-Pro and the other Japanese resources out there. Best of luck in your Japanese studies!
