I offer 3 courses currently:

Journey 1: Zero to Hiragana Hero – Perfect for those starting with no background in Japanese. You’ll learn the basics, including the alphabets (Hiragana, Katakana), essential phrases, and foundational skills to begin speaking and understanding Japanese. Equivalent to the beginning of JLPT N5.

Journey 2: Build, Speak, Explore! – Designed for beginner learners who already know Hiragana and Katakana. This course dives deeper into sentence building, survival phrases, and foundational grammar to help you grow your skills. Equivalent to completing JLPT N5 and starting JLPT N4.

Journey 3: Next Steps in Japanese – Aimed at learners who are ready to deepen their understanding of Japanese. This course covers advanced grammar, expands your Kanji knowledge, and prepares you for meaningful conversations. Equivalent to completing JLPT N4 with some elements of JLPT N3.

More levels are in development, so stay tuned for future course offerings!

All courses are personally taught by Himawari Sensei.

Not Just a Teacher, Your Language Partner: Learning Japanese can feel overwhelming, but with me, you’re never alone. As a native Japanese speaker with a degree in language studies from a top Japanese university, I bring not just expertise but a deep understanding of how to guide learners like you to success. I speak multiple languages, so I know exactly what it takes to master a new one—and I’m here to share those secrets with you.

Cultural Depth You Won’t Find Anywhere Else: Most courses teach you the words. I teach you the world of Japan. From cultural nuances to daily life expressions, I bring real Japan into every lesson. You’ll learn how to sound natural, understand the “why” behind the language, and feel confident speaking with native speakers.

Proven Success, Global Impact: Over 300 students from more than 20 countries have achieved their Japanese goals with my courses. From mastering Hiragana and Katakana to confidently holding conversations, my students don’t just learn—they thrive. You’ll join a community of learners who share your passion and support you every step of the way.

A Course Tailored to You: Every lesson is designed with your success in mind. I use interactive methods—games, quizzes, and real-time feedback—to make learning enjoyable and effective. Whether you’re a total beginner or building on your skills, I’ll adapt to your pace and needs.
