    This course helps you move beyond basic sentences and express yourself naturally. You will practice storytelling, sharing opinions, discussing cultural topics, and using native-like expressions. Building on conversation basics, we will explore more challenging and thought-provoking topics such as social rules, look-ism, money, and ideas of “normality.”

Hello. My name is Eiko. I am a native Japanese speaker and have been teaching Japanese for over 10 years. I love helping learners find their own path forward and build confidence by achieving small, meaningful goals. Over the past decade, I’ve taught students from many countries and backgrounds, and I understand how challenging it can feel to speak a new language—I’m a lifelong language learner myself.

I created Pera Pera Room because I wanted to offer a learning space that feels warm, personal, and supportive, and that gently encourages learners to step outside their comfort zone in order to grow.

Having grown up and lived between cultures, I care deeply about supporting learners who are navigating more than one language or identity. I especially enjoy working with mixed families and anyone looking for a gentle, encouraging place to grow their Japanese.

Come as you are — I’m here to help you find your voice in Japanese 🌸
