Video soonAbout Kenji
Yo! I'm Kenji from Osaka — the friendliest city in Japan. Forget stiff textbook phrases: my lessons are 80% talking, 20% laughing at my jokes. We'll build your confidence with the Japanese people actually speak, from convenience-store small talk to izakaya banter. Beginners very welcome; I explain grammar in plain English when needed and slip in Kansai-ben for flavour.

Jul 2026The most fun I've had learning anything. He remembers every detail you tell him and weaves it back into later lessons.
