Why are you learning Japanese for?
And who you want to use Japanese with?

Here are some questions for those of you learning Japanese.

Why are you learning Japanese?
And who you want to use Japanese with?

My lessons are accompanied by a focus on “Language is not only to be learned, but also to be used properly. Words are a means of communication.”
If you do not use them, you will not improve.

Are you confident in your communication skills? Are you able to communicate in your own unique way, express yourself, and choose your words in Japanese?

The Japanese language has a variety of expressions, and there is a characteristic of using them differently depending on the other person or situation. However, the key to improving communication skills is to add “your own personality” to them.

AIKO lessons also provide an opportunity to discover dormant issues and possibilities within yourself through Japanese language study. For those who wish, simple coaching work will be conducted during the Japanese language study, so please enjoy self-discovery as well as skill improvement.

What are the advantages of AIKO’s lessons?

１：日本語コミュニケーションに強くなる

AIKO’s lessons focus on communication. I encourages students to talk more and more. Working as a professional editorial writer for more than 20 years, I have interviewed people from the business world to celebrities, businessmen, and students, and verbalized their words into rich expressions.

I support each student so that they can enjoy dialogue in Japanese confidently and spontaneously in their own way.

2：WorkbookやFeedbackで繰り返し学べる

I have prepared a Workbook (‘QUIZ’) and a ‘Yomimono’ on this lesson website so that you can not only memorize the words during the lesson, but also deepen your knowledge and acquire the related charts. You can use the workbook in any way you want, such as for preparation, review, or use within the lesson!

I will also give you feedback during the lesson, and depending on the content and format of the lesson, I may also send you a “summary” document after the lesson. Please take advantage of the fact that learning a language is just like a sport; by continuing to repeat it and making it a habit, you will be able to use it more and more and enjoy using it more and more.

３：ライティングでコミュニケーションスキルを引き上げる

Writing communication that Japanese people should also learn. Not only are there many opportunities to communicate in written form through e-mail, chat rooms, etc., but there is also the custom of trying to read personalities and emotions from texts.

Learning Japanese not only as the so-called “written language” in books, newspapers, etc., but also conversational written communication that shows one’s personality. We provide practical guidance on how to use the language for business, close friends, etc., as well as etiquette.

Being able to write smoothly means being able to construct sentences, which in turn means being able to speak smoothly. Developing writing skills leads to everything.

What can I study with you?（どんな勉強ができる？）

Who wants to learn to ‘Grammatical accuracy’ ?

Who wants to good communication?

Study through free talk and theme talk.

Enjoy conversation with free themes. Speak up more and more in free talk and theme talk. The words you speak during the lesson will be corrected in the chat box. Improvised speaking brings out the words and habits you normally use more and more, so the correction is stronger and you will be able to speak correctly with repeated practice.

• Free Talk　
• Theme talk (hobbies, work-related topics, etc.)
• Situation talk (role-playing)
• Discussion, etc.
