'Even learning the basics is extremely rewarding and full of interesting surprises.'

David Benello, Italy

'The teaching style is a mix of both listening and speaking. I get the opportunity to speak a lot during a lesson which really helps speed up my learning, comprehension and fluency.’

It took me so many years to find a teacher that can actually get me to the next level.

I feel I wasted so much money and time..'

Josh Littlefield, Australia

'In normal lessons you learn the surface of grammar points and it’s not enough for speaking like a native speaker. I can learn it in depth at Arai Academy and it makes my speaking easier and more natural.'

Ken G, Singapore

'I would highly recommend Arai-sensei to any prospective students who want to learn Japanese, or improve their Japanese skills. She is highly qualified and explains things in a very clear way. The videos are great with a good mix of photos and drawings to help you learn.'

Daniel Binns, UK

'Your typical language courses often feel impersonal, applying the same principles across all languages.

In contrast, Arai-sensei's lessons stand out by using practical examples and carefully crafted content designed to help you navigate common situations while visiting Japan.

You'll find a real human who genuinely cares about your success and takes pride in it.'

Lauren Oudart, France
