Nami Ohara's Clients say....

"A few months ago, I started Japanese lessons with Nami-san over Skype. Before that, I had been learning Japanese for a while on my own, mostly through immersion and a little bit of studying on the side. I'm not at a very high level, but when I started lessons I already knew a fair amount of vocabulary and basic grammar and was already able to understand some of what I was hearing or reading when watching Japanese TV or movies, or listening to music, or reading manga so I wasn't a beginner to start with. What I couldn't do, however, was speak . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I have been taking online lessons with Nami-san for several years. She was able to pinpoint my level and take my interests into account, so in every lesson I learn lots of new things in an enjoyable way. She is a positive and patient teacher, and she goes the extra mile to help me find Japanese news articles, dramas, and other materials for my language study. I am a language teacher myself, and I live in New York City, where there are numerous Japanese tutors, but I find Nami-san's lessons far superior to any other tutor I've tried. I look forward to many more years of her engaging lessons!

The impetus of learning the Japanese language was influenced by my desire for professional versatility within the business world. Ms. Ohara has been instructing me in Japanese for close to one year.  The quality of Ms. Ohara’s instruction is excellent.  Adept at understanding my unique needs as a learner of a foreign language, Ms. Ohara provides a curriculum tailored to what she recognizes to be my deficiencies and strengths in order for me to advance in my linguistic ability. The instruction . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I studied the Japanese language with the most popular language programs for nearly one year before deciding I needed something more. After only two months of lessons with Nami, I have gained a greater real-world vocabulary than any of the textbooks and programs ever supplied. I have also gained a deeper understanding of Japanese culture through her use of videos and media recommendations. Nami teachers in a way that is challenging, rewarding, and fun. I would recommend her to anyone that is serious about learning Japanese.

"I have been studying Japanese language for 5 years now, however the step from the books to reality can be hard. I started taking Skype/Google Talk lessons with Nami-sensei because I had my trip planned to Japan and it was going to be the first time for me to use real life Japanese. Nami-san was very patient, helpful and kind to teach me different situations I could find with the taxi drivers, waiters, asking directions on the street, talking to people in the clubs, etc. The result: My trip to Japan . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I love my weekly Skype Lesson with Nami-san! Here in Corner Brook I don’t have access to a Japanese teacher so being able to do Skype lessons over the Internet is a great way to keep improving my Japanese. Plus when I travel, I never have to miss a lesson!
