'The teaching style is a mix of both listening and speaking. I get the opportunity to speak a lot during a lesson which really helps speed up my learning, comprehension and fluency.’
It took me so many years to find a teacher that can actually get me to the next level.
I feel I wasted so much money and time..'
Josh Littlefield, Australia
'In normal lessons you learn the surface of grammar points and it’s not enough for speaking like a native speaker. I can learn it in depth at Arai Academy and it makes my speaking easier and more natural.'
Ken G, Singapore
'I would highly recommend Arai-sensei to any prospective students who want to learn Japanese, or improve their Japanese skills. She is highly qualified and explains things in a very clear way. The videos are great with a good mix of photos and drawings to help you learn.'
Daniel Binns, UK
'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.'
Lauren Oudart, France
