My METHOD

Language is more than

vocabulary and grammar.

It’s about connecting with people, understanding culture, and feeling confident in real-life situations.

Every student has different goals, so every lesson is personalized to help you learn naturally and confidently.

Personalized Learning

No two students are the same.

Every lesson is tailored to your goals, pace, and learning style, helping you build confidence step by step.

Real-Life Japanese

Learn natural Japanese used in everyday life.

Practice practical conversations and expressions you’ll actually use—not just textbook Japanese.

Beyond the Language

Learn the language through the culture so you can communicate naturally and feel at home in Japan.

About

Meet Natsuki

Hi! I’m Natsuki, and I’m from Osaka, Japan.

I created More Than Japanese because I believe learning Japanese is about much more than memorizing vocabulary and grammar.

Language, culture, etiquette, and everyday life are all connected. My goal is to help you not only speak Japanese with confidence but also gain a deeper understanding of Japan and feel more at home here.

After living overseas for nearly 10 years, I experienced both the excitement and the challenges of adapting to a different language and culture. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to build a life in a foreign country, and how valuable it is to have someone who truly understands your journey.

That’s why I don’t just teach Japanese. I also support my students in understanding Japanese culture, social etiquette, and everyday life, helping them feel more confident both inside and outside the classroom.

Whether you’re learning Japanese, discovering Japanese culture, already living in Japan, or preparing for your next chapter here, I’d love to support you every step of the way.
