About Maki

G'day! Let's make your Japanese journey unforgettable!
Struggles you might be facing:
1.Want to start speaking your own Japanese from the moment you land at the airport!

2.Tired of textbook Japanese? Want to learn how we actually speak.

3.Want to feel the confidence of being understood using only Japanese.

4.Don't like strict, academic lessons—you prefer relaxing, café-style chats!

5.Want to plan the ultimate Japan trip with a local expert.

6.Need quick, clear answers to those "What does this mean?" questions you've gathered from self-study.

7.A bit nervous to speak and afraid of making mistakes.

8.Want to master Japanese through the things you truly love!

9.Dream of surprising Japanese people with your natural, fluent-sounding Japanese.

10.Want to feel genuine progress after every single lesson.

I'm actually very curious about Australia, but there's still so much I don't know! I'd love for you to tell me all about your beautiful nature, wonderful lifestyle, and delicious local food. In return, I'll do my best to support your Japanese learning so you can enjoy the charms of Japan a hundred times more! Let's have a fun time chatting about each other's countries! ♡

About the lesson

Are you getting a little bored with just apps and textbooks? If you're thinking, 'I want to try using the Japanese I've learned in real conversations!' then welcome to my class!

1. **Travel Japanese: Essential Local Conversations**
Master phrases like "Where’s the toilet?", "Where can I buy tickets?", "How do I order/pay?", and "Where am I?" for seamless travel from the moment you land.
2. **Real-Life Japanese through Anime & Dramas**
Learn slang, natural expressions, and how to convey emotion—the things you won't find in textbooks!
3. **Full Immersion Output**
Experience the joy of being understood using only Japanese, with a little help from gestures and context.
4. **Café-Style Casual Talk**
No stressful, grammar-heavy drills! Just a relaxed, friendly space to chat about your hobbies.
5. **Ultimate Trip Planning & Phrases**
Tell me your dream spots and foods in Japan! I’ll provide local tips and help you master the exact phrases you need before your trip.
6. **Self-Study Q&A Support**
Clear up any confusion from your apps or videos. Let’s solve those "What does this mean?" moments together.
7. **Mistakes are Welcome!**
Don't worry about tripping over your words. I’ll gently lead you so you can feel comfortable speaking without fear.
8. **Fully Personalized Lessons**
Whether it's J-Pop, anime, food, or sightseeing, we focus on topics you truly love.
9. **Natural Pronunciation & Intonation**
Learn the secrets to sounding natural, so locals will be impressed by how well you speak!
10. **Positive Wins in Every Lesson**
Leave every session feeling excited about what you’ve accomplished today!

"Textbooks are just not enough!"
"I want to connect with locals as soon as I land in Japan!"
If you feel this way, I’m here to help you turn that curiosity into reality!

"To start, why don't you tell me what’s on your mind?"

For our first trial lesson, we won't dive into any difficult study. Let's just relax and chat about any challenges you're facing or what you’d love to achieve.

If you’re feeling nervous because your Japanese isn’t perfect yet, please don't worry—you’re in safe hands.

Think of booking this trial lesson as dropping by a friend's place for a chat. I’m truly looking forward to meeting you!
