Some of you might have been learning Japanese from textbooks for hours yet still have low self-esteem when actually speaking it. Let’s be real here: it is sometimes hard to have Japanese conversation practice when you don’t have anyone to speak to that is fluent enough or, not to mention, a native.
But fret not! Coto Academy is now offering standalone conversation lessons, meaning you can join as many classes as you’d like whenever you’re available. They offer the flexibility to join a class with one of our super friendly conversation teachers to discuss a variety of topics.
In this online course, you will learn useful vocabulary and sentences through a fun discussion moderated by our native teachers in an intimate group setting. Now’s your chance to finally be more comfortable with speaking in Japanese!
