Japanese Speaking Review & Plan: 30-min Online Session

More than conversation practice — speak Japanese, get expert feedback, and leave with a clear next step.

Online (Google Meet) ・ UK evenings (7:30–8:30 pm) ・ Beginner to advanced

Too much passive study and not enough real speaking? This focused 30-minute session gives you a supportive space to speak and a professional review of your strengths, areas for improvement, and next steps. We begin with a short diagnostic, move into a guided conversation in Japanese, and finish with personalised feedback and a simple action plan.

4. Support during the session: helpful, level-appropriate guidance where useful.
