ATLJapanese offers fluency-focused private and group Japanese lessons, supported by an active immersion-based learning community. Designed for students who want to reach near-native fluency efficiently, the program includes a proven curriculum and access to a Discord server filled with resources like bilingual manga & anime, graded immersion paths, textbooks, custom flashcards, and more. You can chat with other learners in English and Japanese, join book clubs and study groups, and get guidance at every stage of your study.
Most students learn the basics in 3–5 weeks and over 1,000 kanji in 6–8 months. With consistent effort, functional fluency is achievable in 3–4 years. I also offer personalized study plans for goals like travel, cultural engagement, or reconnecting with family. Lessons are now held virtually via Discord, and your first consultation is always free—no pressure to continue. During that meeting, we’ll discuss your goals and I’ll provide study materials to get you started.
Japanese opens the door to a rich world of language, culture, and media, while building lasting cognitive skills and adding depth to your resume. Whether you're just beginning or picking the language back up, ATLJapanese gives you the tools, structure, and community to keep moving forward.
