This spring and fall, we’re building the course you’ve asked for every year since 2019.

  • A course focused entirely on keigo.
  • A course designed to help you sound professional in Japanese in any setting.
  • A course that ensures your language reflects the level you’ve worked to achieve.

Reiko and I are developing a solution to the most consistent question we hear from advanced learners:

How can I sound professional and relaxed in Japanese — just as I do in my first language?

We know how to make that happen for you, and we’re going to give you that confidence and a framework of rigorous, applied training to ensure you develop the phrasing, cultural precision, and situational control required to communicate professionally — without stiffness or hesitation.

You’re here because you take your Japanese seriously.

Add your name below. We’ll notify you when enrollment opens later this year. We’ll use your email only for that purpose.

Join us in the fall and master this precise — and entirely attainable — professional skillset.

Use Japanese with the precision and composure professional settings demand.

Here’s what that mastery looks like in practice:

  • Naturally adjust your communication approach to match any situation, personality or role. From casual discussions to high-stakes meetings, you’ll move through conversations with poise, confidence, and professional precision.
  • Read subtle meaning and respond with clarity in every conversation. You’ll navigate indirect language, layered nuances, and complex phrasing without hesitation, maintaining composure and respect at all times.
  • Communicate effectively across formal and informal contexts. By managing tone, pacing, and level of respect  language appropriately, you’ll speak with accuracy and confidence without overstepping boundaries.

A glimpse inside the course materials

You’ll have access to video and audio examples, structured Anki decks, and other tools to practice keigo and professional Japanese in real contexts.

“I finally grasped the ‘why’ behind patterns I had memorized years ago but never fully understood. It felt like someone had turned on a light in a room I didn’t realize was dim.”
