Japanese lesson class Osaka | Ma place

I recommend Shizuko-san wholeheartedly. Her lessons are fun, and the time always flies by quickly. She is always punctual and well-prepared, which shows how seriously she takes her work. She creates materials tailored specifically to my level, so I learn practical, natural-sounding phrases that I can use right after class. And she is open to suggestions, so one does not have to get stuck with a textbook unlike in a formal classroom setting. I am so grateful to have met Shizuko-san and would like to thank her again for a wonderful learning experience.

I have lessons twice a week with Shizuko-san starting from only knowing Hiragana and Katakana and no previous speaking practice. I'm currently residing in Japan and have found the lessons are greatly improving my speaking, reading and vocabulary! The lessons are structured for ensuring my learning is progressing but also allow for some chats about my week so I can practice my day to day speaking too! Shizuko-san is patient when I don't know something and am trying to find the words and very encouraging with my progress! I feel comfortable in our lessons to make mistakes and ask questions when I am confused! Highly recommended her teaching for any level!!!

Japanese is not an easy language and sometimes I am quite discouraged. But I always welcome my lessons with Shizuko san with pleasure.

She transforms the difficulties into a pleasant moment every week. Through her patience and her insight she gives me the desire to persevere.

I recommend strongly her class.

I've been studying business Japanese with Shizuko-san and highly recommend her for three reasons: adaptability, targeted approach, and commitment.

On adaptability, in our first meeting, she took the time to carefully understand the goals I wanted to achieve. While she could also support exam preparation and daily conversations, she tailored our lessons to focus on my needs for presentations and negotiations in business settings.

With her targeted approach, Shizuko-san designed various approaches and recommended materials to help me achieve my objectives. After 15 lessons, I now feel confident and have a repertoire of phrases for most situations.

Lastly, her commitment is evident in every lesson. She consistently prepares detailed lesson plans and anticipates my questions, making our lessons structured and highly effective.

For a committed teacher who can help you achieve your Japanese learning goals, look no further than Shizuko-san.

Vor einem Jahr kam ich von Deutschland nach Japan, dem Heimatland meiner Frau. Meine japanischen Sprachkenntnisse bewegten sich zu Beginn auf dem N4 Level. Mein Ziel war es, mein Hörverständnis und meine Kommunikationsfähigkeit zu verbessern, um in Japan ohne Probleme leben zu können. Shizuko-san hat ihren Unterricht, den wir über Zoom abhalten, genau auf meine Bedürfnisse abgestimmt. Ihre Korrekturvorschläge werden während des Unterrichts von ihr in die Chatbox eingetragen. Den Inhalt der Chatbox einer jeden Unterrichtsstunde erhalte ich im Nachgang per email. Das ist für mich sehr hilfreich und fördert eine effiziente Nacharbeit. Ich habe Spaß am Unterricht mit Shizuko-san, durch den sich meine Sprachkenntnisse zu meiner großen Zufriedenheit kontinuierlich verbessern. Als sehr angenehm empfinde ich die positive und freundliche Art von Shizuko-san. So ist Japanischlernen ein Vergnügen, daher ist es nun zu meinem Hobby geworden.

A year ago, I moved from Germany to Japan, my wife's home country. My Japanese language skills were at N4 level at the beginning. My goal was to improve my listening comprehension and communication skills so that I could live in Japan without any problems. Shizuko-san has customised her lessons, which we hold via Zoom, exactly to my needs. She enters her corrections in the chatbox during the lesson. I receive the contents of the chatbox for each lesson by email afterwards. This is very helpful for me and promotes efficient follow-up work. I enjoy my lessons with Shizuko-san and my language skills are continuously improving to my great satisfaction. I find Shizuko-san's positive and friendly manner very pleasant. Learning Japanese is a pleasure, so it has now become my hobby.

1年前、私はドイツから妻の母国である日本に来ました。来日した時、私の日本語能力は、N4レベルでした。日本での生活を問題なく送れるようになるため、聴解力とコミュニケーション能力の向上が必要でした。そのため、しづ子さんはZoomで行うレッスンを、私の希望に合わせてカスタマイズしてくれました。また、しづ子さんはレッスン中に私の間違った箇所をチャットボックスに入力し、レッスン終了後、チャットボックスの内容をメールで送ってくれます。これは私にとってとても有益で、効率的なフォローアップになっています。しづ子さんとのレッスンは楽しく、私の語学力は確実に向上しているので、とても満足しています。また、しづ子さんの前向きでフレンドリーな態度も好感が持てます。日本語を学ぶのが楽しくなり、今では日本語の勉強が私の趣味となっています。

Je prends des leçons avec Shizuko San depuis environ 6 mois maintenant, à raison d'une heure par semaine, et c'est devenu l'un des meilleurs moments de ma semaine ! Shizuko San est une professeur dévouée et attentive aux besoins de ses élèves, mais également curieuse et très cultivée. Ainsi, chaque leçon est intéressante tant grâce au travail de préparation de Shizuko San (sur la base d'un manuel de conversation dans mon cas), que grâce aux conversations qui émergent de chaque sujet, sur des thématiques variées mais toujours passionnantes ! Merci Shizuko San !

I have been taking weekly lessons with Shizuko San for about 6 months now and it has become one of the best moments of my week! Shizuko San is a dedicated teacher who is attentive to the needs of her students, but also curious and very knowledgeable. Each lesson is interesting thanks to Shizuko San's preparation work (based on a conversation manual in my case), as well as for the small talk moments that can emerge from each topic, on various but always exciting themes! Thank you Shizuko San!
