Meet Yuko Sensei
こんにちは！I’m ゆうこせんせい (Yuko Sensei). I’m a professional Japanese instructor with an M.A. in Japanese Pedagogy and over 20 years of experience teaching college students and adult learners in the USA.
I love helping beginners build confidence step by step. Over the years, I’ve taught thousands of students who once felt nervous about speaking or understanding Japanese — and watching them grow is the greatest joy of my work.

Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Do I need to know Hiragana before starting this course?
Yes. From Japanese 6 onward, Romaji is no longer included. All kanji readings are provided in Hiragana, so being able to read basic Hiragana is necessary to follow the lessons smoothly.
❓ Is this course suitable for complete beginners?
Not quite. This course is best for learners who already know basic Japanese grammar. Once you’re comfortable with simple polite-form sentences, it’s an ideal time to start Plain Form — learning it early helps you sound more natural and understand everyday Japanese more easily.
❓ When do the courses start and finish?
The course is completely self-paced. You can start anytime and take as long as you need to finish. There is no deadline, and you can review the lessons as often as you like.
❓ How long do I have access to the course?
You have lifetime access to all course materials, including videos and downloadable resources. You can review the lessons as many times as you like.
❓ How quickly will I be able to speak Japanese?
You'll start using simple expressions and self-introduction phrases from the very first lessons. As you progress, you will gradually build more confidence and vocabulary.
❓ Is this course taught in English?
Yes. The explanations are given in clear, simple English, with plenty of Japanese examples and audio for listening and speaking practice.
❓ Will I receive personal feedback?
No. However, the course is structured for self-paced learning and includes clear, supportive lessons with plenty of guided practice so you can learn comfortably and confidently at your own pace.
❓ Does this course prepare me for the JLPT exam?
Japanese 6 is designed for real-life communication and natural conversational skills. While you will learn essential grammar, the course does not follow the JLPT format or focus on test preparation.
❓ Will this help me describe things more naturally?
Absolutely! Japanese 6 teaches you how Plain Form and informal expressions work in real communication, which allows you to describe actions, experiences, opinions, and daily situations in a more authentic, conversational way.
