Enrollment Steps

My focus is on conversational Japanese. Until the pandemic hit, I was a frequent traveller to Japan, especially to the island of Hokkaido. During class, Sensei discusses Japanese food, shopping and other activities, teaching me useful phrases for future trips. It doesn’t feel like a lesson at all (in a good way). I hope to use all that she has imparted to me on my next visit to Japan, whenever that might be!

First, Nagatomi-sensei is very professional. She is a full-time Japanese language instructor in Japan. During our first class, Nagatomi-sensei asked me how I liked to learn. What methods in the past worked well for me? I like learning Japanese through current events, as well as reading about historically significant Japanese from the past. She recommended two text books that perfectly met this goal. Each week, we cover new vocabulary and grammar by reading topical news stories as well as short biographies of famous Japanese.

Nihongo-Pro is also super convenient. I travel a lot for my work. But I can always log on to Nihongo Pro and get my lesson no matter where I am in the world. This solution works for me. It will work for you, too!
