Voice of Our Students
"Chika Sensei was by far one of the best when it came to explanations and clarity"
My language learning journey began a few years after visiting Japan for the first time. Ever since my childhood in America, I had been exposed to anime and manga, whether on TV or comic book shops, but it wasn’t till later in my life that I actually found an interest in actually learning Japanese. Coming from a primarily monolingual background of speaking only English, I found Japanese to be frustrating and contrary to my way of English-thinking at times. I was fortunate to have been able to move to Japan a few years ago and attend a full-time Japanese language school, which helped immensely with the basics and becoming more comfortable in the language. However, for my style of language acquisition, it only got me so far when it came to speaking and listening. I was recommended Chika Sensei by a friend, and having already watched countless other online teachers, Chika Sensei was by far one of the best when it came to explanations and clarity. I have thoroughly enjoyed taking both the N2 and Intermediate Speaking courses with Chika Sensei. They have been a great supplement to my current studies, and have taken me farther in a shorter amount of time than I ever expected. Her lessons are concise, helpful, and her feedback feels both personal and meaningful. I highly recommend her lessons to anyone that is looking to either start their Japanese language journey or those looking to improve their current level. Thank you for everything, Chika Sensei!

"A must for those of you out there that struggle to keep up."
I've been to different program or forms of learning japanese language, and as the pandemic kicks in I then started to try out online learning. And I bumped into this course as I was searching online for easy and effective ways of learning, The concept of learnig daily for at least 10mins is one thing that interest me, as I'm so busy and couldn't sit in a class for an hour or so.... I like the style of being task to do a simple homework everyday and being checked by the teacher everyday too., somehow it keeps my motivation to continue learning. And even though I miss a day or two I get constant reminder through email for the lesson that I should be taking up, that's really helpful.
I can definitely say that this platform helps me a lot. A must for those of you out there that struggles to keep up. In addition the way the lesson are formated is very well thought. Kudo to you Chika Sensei.

"With her guidance I feel confident and motivated."
I cannot recommend this course enough. Chika Sensei’s teaching method and well curated curriculum perfectly fit in busy schedules, and ensures that you build your Japanese language skills incrementally and consistently. I make a lot of mistakes but she always corrects them very kindly, and even my sentences make no sense, she understands what I was trying to say. With her guidance I feel confident and motivated. Thank you sensei!

What makes our course different from other Japanese learning services?
Japanese learners face a difficult decision when selecting a method of study.
Traditional classrooms, schools, and private lessons guarantee access to a professional teacher, however, it can be difficult to adjust with a busy schedule.
Language learning applications are often the most convenient option, but typically do not include access to a professional teacher.
Our course offers the best of both worlds: students can take lessons and do homework anywhere, anytime, and they receive feedback from a teacher with 20 years of Japanese teaching experience.
"I highly recommend this for people like me who have a hard time sticking with it."
This course is the best!
I have a lot of JLPT textbooks and video lessons. But after the first week, I always get tired of it and quit. Also, my work hours are irregular so I don't have time to go to language class.
Actually, I was worried that the amount of JLPT study each day was too small, but I realized that it was just the right amount for me to keep going.
There's no point if you don't keep it up!
You can do these lessons anytime, when you are waiting for the train or the bus, when you're making coffee, before going to bed, etc., anyone can do it.
Occasionally I will skip a few days, but then I just spend a little more time catching up.
I highly recommend this for people like me who have a hard time sticking with it.

That is not an easy journey but so interesting, do it in a good company !

こんにちは！ちか先生です。
I have been teaching Japanese in schools and universities since 2002.
In 2019, I decided to take my knowledge and experience and create Chika Sensei's Japanese Academy to help Japanese language learners, just like you, from all over the world improve their Japanese skills.
The Academy quickly became my full-time business, and I've now helped over 1,000 students in my paid courses.
I seriously love spending my days supporting my students!
Studying by yourself can be very difficult; it's hard to identify weak areas and fix mistakes on your own.
By taking this course, you won't have those problems because I'll be there to help you.
I hope you enjoy the course and pass the JLPT successfully.

It explains the percentages you need to pass, and allows you to compare your results and find in which subjects you need to improve.

"Chika Sensei’s explanations are very clear, and she responds quickly and extensively to questions"
This is my third course with Chika Sensei. Great experiences so far. I took the N4 course and passed the N4 exam. I took the speaking course and was able to navigate myself in Japan pretty smoothly. Now I’m taking the N3 course. It’s one month in and quite challenging. Her explanations are very clear, and she responds quickly and extensively to questions. I’ve been surprising myself quite a bit lately when I understood the N3 grammar that came up in Japanese media. I hope I don’t disappoint her with my N3 exam results half a year later!
Chika Sensei also provides A LOT of extra materials that, unfortunately, I don’t have time to consume all of them T^T.

"Since I started, I never regretted that I’d rolled in!"
Hello everyone, hello Chika 先生! 🙂 so, the time flies indeed and I’ve just finished my first month of preparation for JLPT N3. Since I started, I never regretted that I’d rolled in! Besides my private lessons, this course helps me to stay tuned and motivates me to learn something new or review the known information every day. “Every day” might sound intense, but if you really check the course daily, it costs you 10-15 minutes only! Maybe a biiiit more, if you are fan of creating several examples for your homework, haha (that’s me😄😄) What I also like, I that this course offers you the opportunity the review the previous lessons after 1 month, and this is EXTREMELY important because otherwise you just forget. Also the reading, Kanji and vocabulary exercises are so helpful! A special thank to Chika 先生 for her patience and professionalism! So, as summary I can say: this is the great course, doesn’t matter if you study all alone or take this course additionally to your regular group or individual lessons. Thank you!!

"Chika sensei always checks homework and give feedback within the next day so it is helpful to keep up with her as well"
This is the second course I am taking with Chika sensei. The N3 All-in-one course is a comprehensive collections of material, not only it includes N3 materials but also reviews of N4/N5 as well. Grammar lessons are short but informative and doing homework after each lesson is a must. Chika sensei always checks homework and give feedback within the next day so it is helpful to keep up with her as well. Kanji, reading and listening are well organized. Highly recommended anyone who is serious about learning and passing the JLPT.
– Peggy | USA
"I really recommend Chika Sensei’s courses for structured every day studies"
Chika Sensei’s courses are very well-structured and give you a perfect overview and understanding of grammar for each particular lever. I took N4 previously and now I’m taking N3. Each topic is explained clearly in just a couple of minutes. Practice tasks help you to implement your knowledge. Of course, to speak freely you will need oral practice too, but I really recommend Chika Sensei’s courses for structured every day studies.

"I am planning to take the JLPT N4 exam this coming July and I am confident in Chika sensei’s training materials"
If I’m not mistaken, I first started noticing Chika sensei through a Facebook ad, and then I discovered her YouTube channel. What caught my attention is that her courses are organised into bite-sized pieces, allowing me to learn at my own pace and at convenient times. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Since my job requires me to work long hours, I find it challenging to balance my work and spend quality time with my family. This course seems to be specially customised for me (even though I know it’s not! 🤣). Although the course materials state that only 10 minutes per day is needed, I usually spend around 20-30 minutes to ensure I thoroughly digest and familiarise myself with the daily assignments. I am planning to take the JLPT N4 exam this coming July and I am confident in Chika sensei’s training materials.

"The courses give you a sense of making steady progress."
I have really enjoyed this (and other) Chika Sensei's courses. They provide nice balance between grammar with multiple examples, listening, reading, and vocabulary building, and each unit has a brief test to check your understanding, with timely feedback from the teacher. The content is broken down to small lessons that can be completed at the end of a busy day and give you a sense of making steady progress. I look forward to continuing with the next levels of the JLPT with Chika sensei in the future!
***
After completing Chika Sensei's JLPT N5 course, I loved it so much that I am now continuing in the JLPT N4 course. I enjoy how comprehensive the courses are, covering grammar, vocabulary, and listening skills, while also being feasible to do even with a busy life. The brief quizzes immediately test your knowledge and writing a sentence using the words or grammar rules we just learned helps apply and solidify the knowledge. Every day I look forward to a new Japanese lesson and seeing my progress. Thank you, Chika Sensei!
-Sylvie | USA
"I’m glad I found this course from Chika sensei "
I enrolled the Japanese speaking course and the All-in-one N5 course. The speaking course is very useful. Chika sensei will provide feedback on each lesson, and I know what mistakes I made.
For the JLPT all-in-one N5 course, it’s easy to follow and the contents are clear. You will not feel overwhelmed when you study. I’m glad I found this course from Chika sensei and I am very happy that I have passed the N5. I’ll continue my study with Chika sensei for the all-in-one N4!

"The best part is receiving the daily email from Chika sensei with the correction"
I have been trying to learn Japanese by myself for a couple of years now but I was not progressing very well.
After travelling to Japan earlier this year, I realised that I could not really speak or understand Japanese. That’s when I decided to enroll in a “proper” course.
I had been receiving Chika sensei free daily emails for a while and thought she was good at explaining the grammar and the vocabulary.
I enrolled in the JLPTN5 course and I really like it. The daily lessons are short and the exercises are relevant.
The best part is receiving the daily email from Chika sensei with the correction. She works hard to make sure you get the most out of the exercises.
I also like the fact that you can look at other students responses and Chika sensei corrections. I learn a lot from that too.
I would like to enroll in the conversation course but I think I will wait until I finish the JLPTN5 course. I am also already thinking of enrolling in the JLPTN4 course after this course.
ちかせんせい、ありがとうございます

"I skip much less than when I was studying on my own."
I'm not going to take the JLPT right away, but I started this course to prepare for the future.
Although the course is designed for the JLPT exam, it's also great for learning Japanese from the basics. (I'm studying N5)
It's like learning basic Japanese from a language class, but without the pressure of going to school.
There are also videos for listening and vocabulary quizzes, these are interesting and change every day. When I get the email from my teacher, it’s like a reminder to start class, so I skip much less than when I was studying on my own.
I was just studying sort of gradually, as a hobby, but now I've gained a lot of confidence and I'm thinking of taking the next JLPT.
-Cyrus | USA
"Love the classes with Chika sensei."
I have joined the class during in the pandemic started from 2021. I am so happy learning the Japanese from online class, I can study the Japanese anywhere and anytime, it is very convenience for me, wherever I am. Chika sensei gave us many idea for studying the Japanese class when I email her to ask her the question. She is very kind and nice to everyone. In the N4, she will provide us the extra materials in some of the lessons, and she will remind us using te-form and ta-form.
Even now, I always confuse the が、に、or etc, she always correct our sentences. Love the classes with Chika sensei.

"I’m still impressed by the competence and the hard work of the teacher"
I’ve been studying Japanese for many years, with long pauses in between. My recent goal is to be able to read books in Japanese and be able to watch lectures in Japanese about my favorite art topics. I tried different courses and platforms, I learned Kanji stand alone thinking that they would have helped to guess the meaning of Japanese sentences, but with my beginner grammar knowledge I soon found out that I couldn’t understand even the manga for kids. I’ve been told I should reach the N3 level of JPLT to be able to start understanding those. So I googled for the best grammar courses and one of those was Chika Sensei. Compared to other online courses where you’re left to your own devices, this one was not cheap, but the idea to have a teacher following your progresses or to whom ask questions has been my deciding factor. And I’m glad I did. I bought first the N4 course, thinking that my basic grammar and vocabulary was covering the N5, but I soon found out that N4 was too difficult for me and I didn’t know a few grammar rules, so after a while I decided to start from square one with the N5 course, as a refresher and a mean to fill my gaps for grammar. It’s actually challenging in a good way, it helps me writing sentences thinking in Japanese, looking for words I was missing. It gives me a lot of insights on the particle usage I wasn’t aware of, a sort of more advanced usage compared to the basic one I read in the usual grammar books so far. Even though the lessons are 10 minutes long, there are many other activities to go through as soon as possible, such as learning vocabulary (and there is a nice companion platform to quiz you on that, that it’s not the usual SRS flashcard – by the way, it’s one of the possibilities if needed), learning Kanji and so forth. There are different kind of lessons that follows a program and arriving every day as an email: grammar, listening, reading and monthly videos. The dialogues and the sentences are very up to date with modern life, common situations, and not resembling the ones on textbooks.
I’m still impressed by the competence and the hard work of the teacher who corrects the homework and asks questions to follow up.
In the comments for every lesson there are other students’ homework, questions and corrections that I personally found very useful to learn something new or be aware of mistakes that can happen.
Overall I would recommend this course to advanced beginners or beginners who are motivated to work on learning hiragana and katakana as the first step.
