Nihongo-Pro tailors my lessons for my specific needs.
Before I discovered Nihongo-Pro, I was faced with an apparently unsolvable dilemma:
I had a background in modern Japanese, but I needed to learn how to read Japanese texts
from the late 19th and early 20th centuries for a research project.
I could not, however, find any resources for reading this kind of text.
Before I started, I had no idea how much the Japanese language had changed in the past century
in terms of grammar and kanji use. Working at a small university without a developed Japanese program,
I was not sure where to turn for help for acquiring such a specific set of Japanese skills.
Although my situation was unusual, Nihongo-Pro was more than happy to find a teacher who could help me.
Nakano-sensei has been an amazing resource. She helped me to find Japanese books on how to read
texts written in my period of study and formulate a study plan. She has time and again patiently helped me
to tackle even the most difficult texts, and I am deeply grateful for the extensive preparation
she has done before each online lesson.
Nihongo-Pro is more than a resource for passing the JLPT;
it can flexibly accommodate a wide variety of individual Japanese language instruction needs
for students anywhere in the world where there is an Internet connection.
