NihongoDekita runs small live classes taught by native Japanese teachers. Seats open a few times a year and they fill from the waitlist first. Add your name and you will hear before anyone else.
Join the waitlistFlashcards, a grammar site, a YouTube playlist, a textbook you opened twice. Every source teaches in a different order, so nothing stacks. It is not that you are bad at languages. It is that nobody gave you a sequence.
You recognise the grammar on the page. Then someone speaks to you and it all disappears. Recognition and production are different skills, and only one of them gets practised when you study alone.
You study for months with no idea whether what you are saying sounds natural, stiff, or accidentally rude. Small mistakes set like concrete when there is no one there to catch them early.
Two hours, live on Zoom, with a native Japanese teacher and a small group of classmates. You speak from the first lesson. Your teacher hears you, corrects you in the moment, and shows you what a Japanese person would really say instead.
Then you get the recording, the flashcards, and the homework, so the week between classes has structure too. If you miss a class, nothing is lost. The recording is yours for life.
Recordings can teach you grammar. They cannot hear you make a mistake. That is the whole difference.
Taught on Zoom by a native Japanese teacher. Small groups so everyone speaks, every week. Class length depends on the course.
An open session to bring your questions, whether they are about grammar, homework, or something you heard in an anime and could not parse.
Every class is recorded. Come back to week 3 in two years if you want. It stays yours.
Every word from the course, ready to drill. Homework designed to prepare you for the next class rather than to fill time.
Slides, worksheets, recordings, and assignments organised by week, so you are never hunting through email for a file.
Classmates from all over the world, language exchange events, and speaking practice outside of class. A lot of our students stay for the people.
You do not need to guess. Tell us where you are on the waitlist form and we will point you to the right level when enrolment opens.
Hiragana, katakana, and your first real sentences. By the end you can introduce yourself and read both scripts.
Particles, past and present tense, and putting words into conversations that go somewhere.
Adjectives, te-form, and the grammar that turns short sentences into connected speech.
Casual speech, intermediate grammar, and sounding like a person rather than a textbook.
Past 104 we run Japanese 201, 202 and 203, each 14 weeks, for intermediate and upper intermediate students. Join the waitlist and tell us your level, and we will let you know when the next one opens.
I am Sayaka, and NihongoDekita started with me teaching every class myself. It is now a team, and that was deliberate. Every teacher here is a native speaker, trained in our curriculum, and teaching the language the way it is actually spoken today rather than the way a textbook from 1998 says it should be.
That matters most for the things textbooks are worst at: when to be polite and when it sounds cold, which phrase a real person would pick, why your perfectly grammatical sentence sounds strange. You get that from someone who grew up in it.
Takes about a minute. We ask which scripts you can read and which course you are eyeing so we can match you properly.
Waitlist first, public announcement second. You get dates, times, and pricing while seats are still open.
If you are not sure where you fit, reply to the email and we will help you choose. Nobody gets put in the wrong class.
You will say something in Japanese on day one. That is the point.
Every course includes the live classes, office hours, flashcards, assignments, Google Classroom, and lifetime access to the recordings. Nothing is sold separately.
Paying in full saves a small amount over the monthly plan. We accept Stripe and PayPal, though PayPal cannot be used for the monthly plans.
Real students, talking about what changed for them. Some of them are speaking Japanese in these.
Every class is recorded and shared with you, so you can catch up on your own time and rewatch later. The recordings are yours for life, not just for the length of the course.
About 30 minutes a day on flashcards and homework. The assignments are built to prepare you for the next class, so the time is doing double duty rather than being extra work.
Tell us on the waitlist form what you can already do and we will point you to the right course. If it is borderline, we will talk it through with you before you pay for anything.
Yes. Classes run live on Zoom and our students join from all over the world. Class times are announced with each cohort so you can check the timing works for you before enrolling.
Because speaking is the part you cannot practise alone. A recorded course can explain grammar perfectly and still leave you unable to hold a conversation. Live class means a native teacher hears what you say and fixes it on the spot.
Stripe or PayPal. Payment plans are available for Japanese 102 and above. Note that PayPal cannot be used for subscription products.
Yes. Buy the course and then email us, and we will transfer it to the person you are gifting it to.
Be first to hear when the next cohort opens. One email when enrolment starts, no spam in between.
One email when the next cohort opens. That is it.
