⭐️すいません、降ります！

Sorry, I am getting off!

* When in a packed train and you need to get off here.

I’d say it’s pretty practical, because my students didn’t know what to say and missed their stop. 😂

Right words, but are you understood?

カードで大丈夫ですか？Is it ok to pay by credit card?

"Why the awkward smile?"

My students use the right words, but get a hesitant smile instead of a real conversation. I know that pain—when I first moved to NY, I was often ignored because of my pronunciation😅

It’s not about being perfect; it’s about making speaking more fun. 🔊

My goal isn't to make you sound like a native, but to make your hard-earned Japanese actually work for you.

I’m hoping to help you enjoy conversations without the stress of being misunderstood.

And to be honest, even now, my English pronunciation is far from perfect - I never even tried to make it perfect.😂

But the rate of being understood is much higher than before, and that's what helped me enjoy speaking again.

Let’s focus on the fun part of communicating 🥳
