New to Japanese? You're Welcome! I use the GENKI textbook to teach Japanese from the basics and help you practice using what you learn in real conversations.

Shizuka is a very friendly and kind Japanese teacher. She also teaches Japanese culture, which makes the lessons fun and interesting.

If you have any difficulties, she can help you with simple English, too. I highly recommend her, especially for beginners!
