Practice Step by Step — Just Like in a Real Classroom
Learning to speak Japanese confidently takes time and repetition — just like learning a musical instrument.
That’s why this course guides you step by step with a clear, structured path.
The course includes:
✅ Short, focused video explanations — no long lectures, just what you need to speak right away.
✅ Three levels of shadowing audios — from slow to natural speed, so you can train your “speaking muscles” at your own pace.
✅ Printable PDFs — to review key phrases and practice anywhere, even offline.
✅ Mini conversation checkpoints — short guided dialogues to apply what you’ve learned.
You’ll move from repeating phrases to thinking in Japanese, naturally and confidently — one step at a time.
The course opens only a few times a year.

Why Everyday Japanese Speaking Is a Smarter Choice
🌸 Learning to speak Japanese takes time and practice, but it doesn't have to cost a thousand dollars in private lessons. Here is how Everyday Japanese Speaking compares with working one-on-one with a tutor — so you can see the value for yourself.
✅ This Course is Perfect for You If…
- You can read Hiragana and Katakana and know some basic grammar (like sentences with です or ます).
- You’ve studied Japanese before but still feel nervous when it’s time to actually speak.
- You can understand simple sentences but struggle to respond or think of what to say.
- You want structured, step-by-step practice using everyday phrases to build your speaking confidence.
- You want to train your “speaking muscles” through repetition, shadowing, and conversation practice.
- You prefer to connect with people using basic, natural phrases rather than trying to speak with complex or perfect sentences.
❌ This Course is Not for You If…
- You are a complete beginner who cannot yet read Kana or make basic sentences (e.g., わたしは がくせいです).
- You’re already comfortable asking and answering simple questions in Japanese and want to focus on advanced fluency or complex grammar.
- You’re preparing for the JLPT exam or want a reading/writing-heavy course.
- You expect to become fluent quickly—the goal of this course is to build confidence and comfort, not mastery or speed.
- You prefer live tutoring or 1-on-1 correction; this course is self-paced with pre-recorded lessons to support learners worldwide across different time zones.

What Early-Access Students Are Saying
“Repetition with a purpose—not just repeating.” Each audio session includes single-phrase practice, shadowing, and recall. The lessons are clear, well organized, and make speaking practice enjoyable.
“Hearing a native speaker first makes all the difference.” The conversation is broken down so I can fully understand it, and hearing a native speaker before I repeat the words really helps my pronunciation. A great addition to Yuko Sensei’s other lessons.
