I struggled with learning Japanese by myself for years. It was a very frustrating cycle of learning and forgetting and constantly trying new apps, textbooks and methods.

However, when I started the course, I quickly found that I was able to fully understand and remember grammar points that she'd taught me and use them in daily conversation. I've quickly gained both confidence and language ability. I'm learning faster than I have in years, too! 

I would recommend Master Speaking Japanese to anyone who is serious about permanently getting better at Japanese and who wants to break the cycle of ineffective self-study.

Why Arai Method Works

Herman

★★★★★

Her approach to teaching Japanese is highly sophisticated and professional.

She strongly believes that the key to unlocking language skills is to gain a deep understanding of both culture and language.

I could not recommend Mineko's lessons more highly if you want to become a confident Japanese speaker.

 Lauren

★★★★★

Your typical language courses often feel impersonal, applying the same principles across all languages.

In contrast, Arai-sensei's lessons stand out by using practical examples and carefully crafted content designed to help you navigate common situations while visiting Japan.

You'll find a real human who genuinely cares about your success and takes pride in it.

Matt

★★★★★

Before, I couldn’t find a textbook or a course that suited my learning style. It was annoying that I had to waste lots of money on books and classes that didn’t help my studies.

Now, I feel much more confident when communicating in Japanese.

Arai Academy's learning support is fantastic. I learned how to study Japanese in a way which worked for me because the approach you need is so completely different from when you learn other languages, such as French and Spanish.
