“It’s a relaxed, friendly atmosphere to learn and I look forward to the weekly lessons with our group. The topics are taught at a manageable pace and now I can finally say a lot more than ‘oishii’ to my in-laws!”

“Their online demo lessons have been my first contact with the Japanese language and I couldn’t be happier. They’re fun, relaxed, and engaging while full of linguistic and cultural content. I literally knew nothing about the language when I first started but after a year I feel I have begun to acquire the basics and the confidence needed to keep making good progress.”

“The lessons are relaxed and fun (great if you find things like this intimidating like me). Upender is super knowledgeable and quick feedback makes Step Up Japanese lessons so much more useful than online or textbook learning.”

“After many failed attempts to use online and other teaching tools, finally this course helped me gain confidence in spoken and written Japanese.”
