Talk Nihongo is amazing. They quickly identify knowledge gaps and tailor each lesson to address them directly. In addition, they explain grammar using easily understandable terms and examples.

Summer heat always makes me feel sleepy. But my Talk Nihongo class is always so interesting and fun, it wakes me up better than any coffee could.

I’ve been studying with Sae さん for the past three months in preparation for a trip to Japan, and I cannot thank her enough for all the instruction she’s provided! I did not have any Japanese experience, yet in just a short period, I feel I’ve learned so much and received such valuable speaking practice and encouragement from her.
Sachiko is very patient and offers a great deal of encouragement. She is always willing to explain any concepts I am having trouble with –
I love that I’m making progress quickly in these lessons. I much prefer having that accountability and structure to learning Japanese, rather than trying to motivate myself when I’m studying alone.
We understand that life is complicated and you have a number of different goals, commitments and distractions that come up. That’s ok. We’ve designed our program to give you complete control in when you learn, and how you learn it. You can book lessons at times that suit your schedule. And you’ll also have access to our materials that you can use to study in your own time, so that you’ll never miss a session.
Simply put, learning a language is nothing like learning anything else in school. Contrary to what most think, language learning is a creative process. At Talk Nihongo, we are even hesitant to call it “learning” a language, acquiring a language makes more sense. You don’t become proficient in Japanese by reading lots of books and accumulating lots of information, you become proficient in Japanese by using the language consistently, and effectively to get what you want!
We have learnt that immersion alone is not enough to acquire the language. The reason? A drowning man cannot learn to swim. If you arrive in a country where you don’t understand what’s being said and people around you are talking about abstract topics that have no relevancy or obvious meaning, you are not going to learn. It will only go over your head.
Then you’re at the start of something truly special, congratulations! We’ll have you speaking Japanese from day 1 in our program. Within a couple of weeks you’ll be speaking sentences in Japanese and you’ll make meaningful progress towards your language goals. You will also have a clear pathway for success with individual milestones and personalised learning paths.
Our classes are designed to fit into your busy schedule. Each class is typically 60 minutes long, and you can choose the frequency that suits you best, whether it’s daily, weekly, or something in between.
By following our Fast Track Fluency™ framework, you can expect to achieve conversational fluency in Japanese within 6 months. This includes the ability to understand and participate in everyday conversations, read basic texts, and write simple sentences.
Applying for the program is easy. Simply fill out the application form on our website, and one of our team members will get in touch with you to discuss the next steps and schedule your trial class.
You will need a computer or tablet with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone. We use zoom to conduct our classes online.
At Talk Nihongo, we make language acquisition a fun and exciting journey. Bringing the very best in Japanese teaching from native speakers.
