Enrollment Steps

After I passed my JLPT N1 exam, I wanted to maintain my Japanese level, but my work took up a lot of my time, making it difficult for me to attend regular face-to-face lessons. That's when Nihongo-Pro came in to provide a solution. With their flexible online lessons and technical support, I was able to continue my studies even with a demanding work schedule.

Nakano-sensei made each lesson enjoyable and I learned so much from her, not just about the Japanese language but also about the culture of Japan. I feel grateful for having such a dedicated and knowledgeable teacher who is always willing to go the extra mile to help me succeed.

I highly recommend Nihongo-Pro and Nakano-sensei to anyone looking to improve their Japanese skills.

First, it's not easy to find a lesson time suitable for both teacher and student when they live thousands of kilometers apart.

I am a 53-year old European student, and, due to job commitments, I can take lessons only on weekday evenings. With Nihongo-Pro, I had no schedule problems at all, since my teacher lives in the U.S., which gives me many more scheduling options than with teachers living in Japan.

Having tried several languages schools in the past, I really appreciate the high quality of Nihongo-Pro's classroom software. Really well-thought out and extremely easy to use. There were extremely few technical problems, and they were solved very quickly thanks to quick support. The classroom software is always improving and evolving, too, with new features.

Now about teaching: I am really happy about the lessons (several dozen already!) I have taken with Nakano-sensei.

Intermediate level is a tough step, where you have to find your way through the intricacies and subtleties of intermediate-level Japanese grammar, as well as spoken Japanese, which differs quite a lot from the "proper" didactic language you learn at elementary level.

At the intermediate level, understanding often depends on nuances and on your acquaintance with Japanese culture. Nakano sensei is a wonderful guide: She gives careful thought to how to explain the difficult points of Japanese, and she always works painstakingly to answer my questions, to provide the best examples, to show the differences between similar words or grammatical structures.

When you take private lessons, the quality of human contact between teacher and student is essential. When I take a lesson at Nihongo-Pro, I am pleased to meet both an excellent teacher and a friend.
