“Live Japanese, not just study it.” — Sayaka Sensei
Why do we require a speaking check? It helps us:

Use office hours to work on exactly what you need, whether that’s clarifying a grammar point, reviewing tricky vocabulary, or exploring a topic beyond class. It’s your space to set the agenda and make progress where it matters most to you.

Come with questions, bring homework, or try out real-life conversation scenarios. Office hours give you personalized explanations, role-play practice, and targeted feedback to help you speak more naturally and confidently.

Revisit challenging material, prepare for upcoming lessons, or simply practice speaking in a relaxed setting. With one-on-one attention, you’ll reinforce what you’ve learned, build new skills, and feel your confidence grow week by week.
