Japanese class for all levels! Affordable classes
Japanese classes for all levels, from beginner to intermediate and advanced! With these classes you will learn Japanese and Japanese culture, so you can speak fluently with natives in no time! And also be able to take and pass the official Japanese language exam. I have been in Tokyo so my pronunciation has improved a lot, which makes me able to help you improve yours too, avoiding typical mistakes that make natives notice the foreign accent! Besides, thanks to my year living in Tokyo I learned many words, slangs, idioms that are not taught in books and that I would love to teach my students.
