If you like your trial lesson, buy lesson tickets to continue learning Japanese online.
Each ticket, good for one 50-minute private lesson with the same teacher who taught your trial lesson, costs US $28 to $35, depending on how many tickets you buy.

Nihongo-Pro is much more than Japanese language learning.
I feel incredibly lucky to have been paired with Kurokawa-sensei. She is an extremely qualified Japanese instructor so it is a special privilege to be taught one-on-one by her.

Kurokawa-sensei's curriculum is well thought out and is very custom just for me. She goes above and beyond to share cultural information relevant to Japan that supports the learning and dovetails with my specific interests. I can say that Nihongo-Pro is much more than just a Japanese language learning opportunity. A holistic approach that incorporates cultural context and nuance makes the experience even more fulfilling and mind-opening.

The technology of the custom online classroom is brilliant and works flawlessly every time! I love the automatic definitions in the chat box and the useful transcript that Kurokawa-sensei sends to me after each lesson. I use the transcripts to add Japanese vocabulary to my flash cards and explore concepts more deeply on my own. What's more, the streaming video is perfect and the sound is crystal clear. In my experience, it is superior to what you would encounter on most other remote learning platforms.

Thanks again to Kurokawa-sensei and Nihingo-Pro. I can't wait to learn more!

Nihongo-Pro is the most convenient way to learn Japanese.
I have been studying Japanese on Nihongo-Pro with Ogihara Sensei for more than three years. This is one of the best platforms because it is flexible and convenient. Before the 2020 pandemic, I had to travel frequently for work and using Nihongo-Pro ensures that I don’t miss a lesson. I could be in Hong Kong, Beijing, Taipei, Bangkok, Sydney or Vancouver and I can still learn on the go.

My lessons with Ogihara Sensei are always fun. The format is flexible—sometimes we follow a textbook or exercises that Sensei has prepared, sometimes we just talk about topics that are current, anything from films, books, TV shows, news and even songs! There were lessons where Sensei explained the lyrics of my favourite Japanese songs – the ones that are poetic and use a lot of Kanji. And there were lessons where we worked on writing my favourite recipes in Japanese ;-)

I even met up with Ogihara Sensei when I visited her city. She is like a good friend. I learned not only the Japanese language but most importantly the Japanese culture. I recommend Nihongo-Pro and Ogihara Sensei to anyone who wants to further their Japanese studies.

いつもお世話になってありがとうございます。
