Let’s learn Japanese naturally!

Textbook:

The Bridge

  • "I can't understand Japanese conversations..." "I'm studying for the JLPT, but the way they speak is completely different from the way native Japanese people speak..."

    If you’ve ever had these thoughts, then this book is for you as it aims to improve your "natural Japanese" conversation skills.

    In this book not only will you find conversations and explanations by native Japanese people, but also you will find detailed explanations of expressions written with the perspective of Japanese language learners in mind. The expression you will find are those that tend to differ in meaning and nuance depending on the culture.

    This book is a "bridge'' for learners who aim to bridge the gap between their N3 level Japanese that they have acquired in the classroom and the natural Japanese spoken by modern Japanese people.

About

My lessons focus on conversation and on natural Japanese.

Japanese has a written language and a spoken language.

Our language is changing every day, so the Japanese in textbooks is often outdated.

We explain the expressions and correct pronunciation used by Japanese native speakers in an easy-to-understand manner.

While looking at illustrations and photos, you will increase understanding of Japanese expressions and boost your vocabulary.

Let's exchange opinions, share experiences, and improve our commincation skills, all while having fun and learning together!

“It is a great teacher that leaves the student wanting to keep talking even at the end of a two hour lesson - amazing. Obviously, for a still poor student such as myself, I ended the lesson with that most valuable of language learning assets: increased confidence - thank you !!”
