Sound familiar?

Learning Japanese alone is hard.

If any of these thoughts have crossed your mind, KIZUNA was made for you.

“Where do I even start?”

Apps, textbooks, YouTube… there’s so much out there that it’s hard to know how to study effectively.

“I keep losing motivation.”

Studying by yourself, with no one to talk to and no one cheering you on, makes it hard to keep going.

“I want to sound natural.”

You can get by, but you’d love to speak and write beautiful, natural Japanese — not just textbook phrases.

— With KIZUNA, here’s where you’re headed —

Chat naturally with Japanese friends & colleagues

Small talk, jokes, real conversation — not just memorized phrases.

Pass the JLPT and level up your career

Structured support toward the certification that opens doors in Japan.

Travel Japan with confidence

Order, ask, explore — and enjoy Japan in Japanese.

FAQ

Questions we hear a lot

I’m a complete beginner. Is that okay?
Absolutely. We’ll start from the very basics — even how to read hiragana — slowly and carefully, at your pace.
Are lessons only in Japanese? Can I use English?
Yes, English is fine! When something is hard to understand in Japanese alone, feel free to switch to English — we’ll meet you halfway.
Is there homework?
Only if you want it. We prepare homework and vocabulary quizzes for students who ask for them. If you’d rather not, we work through everything together during the lesson instead.
Can children take lessons?
Yes, children are welcome too.
Do I have to keep my camera on?
Yes, please. Seeing your face and reactions helps us understand what’s clicking and what needs a different explanation — so we can teach you better.

“The first step is always the hardest part of learning a language. We know, because we’ve taken that step ourselves — with English and Spanish — and we remember exactly how it feels. So skip the difficult stuff for now, and just come chat with us at a free trial lesson.”
