About Sakurako

・Do you want to laugh and talk with Japanese people during your trip to Japan?
・Wouldn’t it be fun if you could order naturally at restaurants and cafés?

→I will support that goal using the fastest route.

A learning method created from 2,500 lessons
　Many people study only grammar.
　But that alone doesn’t help you speak.

　Understand → Use it immediately → Naturally acquire it

　By learning in this flow, your conversation skills grow much faster.

What you can expect from the lessons

　 1 month: Learn hiragana + introduce yourself
　 3 months: Understand simple Japanese and have short conversations
　(What are you going to do today? / How was the movie?)
　 Around 6 months: Comfortable daily conversations (shopping, plans, impressions, etc.)
　 8 months – 1 year: 80–100% of the lesson can be conducted in Japanese
　 Most students who continue lessons progress at this pace.

　Many students say, “I could speak sooner than I expected.”

Real student progress
　・Complete beginner | Student A (twice a week, 3–6 months)
　　Zero Japanese → able to speak basic conversations naturally
　　Can shop and order in Japanese.
　　 A was nervous at first but began speaking on their own.

・Beginner (can read hiragana & katakana) | Student B (6–8 months)
　・80% English → over 90% of the lesson in Japanese
　・Able to talk for almost the entire 50 minutes in Japanese.
　 Clear progress: thinking and speaking in Japanese.

Student Reviews
　Here is what some students say:

　“Lessons are fun and very motivating.”
　“She explains things clearly and helps me understand real Japanese.”
　“She really wants you to succeed.”

Special offer for my Superprof debut

　Limited to the first 3 students only.

　My lessons are usually offered at a higher price,
　but I’m opening a limited offer to celebrate starting on Superprof.

　 Over 2,500 lessons taught

Recommended for people who…

　 Want to start Japanese but don’t know where to begin
　 Want to talk with Japanese people while traveling in Japan
　 Want to understand anime and dramas more
　 Are looking for a kind and supportive teacher

　In my lessons, the most important goal is helping you actually speak Japanese.

Hello, I’m Sakurako.

　My journey started with studying abroad in Brisbane in high school—
　from seeing the Sydney Opera House from the ferry in Sydney, to walking around Melbourne,
　and even watching rugby in Brisbane.

　Australia feels like a second home to me.

　I love chicken parmigiana and Yo-chi.

About the lesson

◆ Comfortable lessons even for complete beginners
If you don’t understand any Japanese at all, you are very welcome.
We start slowly with greetings, hiragana, and commonly used phrases.
I can also support you in English, so don’t worry.

◆ Practice Japanese you can use right away
We focus not only on grammar but also on real conversations used in daily life.
For example:
・ Self-introduction
・ Ordering at a café
・ Shopping
・ Conversations with friends
・ Japanese for travel

◆ A personalized lesson plan
I design the lessons based on your goals and level.
For example:
・ Starting Japanese from zero
・ Japanese for travel
・ Improving conversation skills
・ JLPT preparation

◆ Easy-to-review original notes
After each lesson, you will receive:
・ New vocabulary
・ Useful phrases
・ Key points

They are easy to review on your own, which helps you improve faster.

I’m looking forward to meeting you in a lesson.
