Although I’ve studied Japanese for many years, my speaking skills are not good. I saw Chika sensei’s speaking course and thought, this is just what I need to ‘exercise my tongue’. And that’s exactly what it’s done. The ‘short lesson everyday’ format really helps me to practice my speaking. And her feedback is helping me to train my ears and learn new vocabulary. I’m very happy with the course.

I’ve been studying Japanese for a while. My reading was OK, but my speaking skill was not good, and I couldn’t think of the words I needed quickly. This speaking course for beginners (N5-N4) was just what I needed to get my tongue loosened up! It also incorporates both formal and casual language, which is really helpful! I will continue to go through it and study the vocabulary more. I’m also taking the conversation course (although I have to catch up there!) That one is very helpful for my listening skills. Excellent courses!

I’m currently taking the Intermediate speaking course (after taking the N5/N4 course). It is excellent, and really helps with my pronunciation! I have some Japanese friends, but it’s difficult to hold a conversation. This course is helping that very much, as well as introducing very useful vocabulary. I always have trouble speaking in a conversation mode – takes me time to think about it! This speaking practice not only helps with the pronunciation, but also in helping me be able to put my thoughts together more quickly. Chika sensei always responds with helpful hints, corrections, etc. The courses are arranged in a very logical manner. She has put a lot of work into this, and it shows. I’m very happy to have found her and her courses! ちか先生、ありがとうございます！
