I took the free course via email. For two months, the email with the content arrived punctually every day. The course progresses in difficulty, and while I wasn't able to complete it all because I'm at a basic level, I found it inspiring to read the email, which encourages you not to give up but to continue studying at your own pace. It's nice that, in addition to grammar rules, there's also information about Japanese culture and life. When the last email arrived, I was sad, because it had been a lovely morning appointment for me. Furthermore, on a couple of occasions when I needed to contact the tutor, I received prompt, kind, and timely responses. I recommend this experience to anyone interested in learning Japanese; it's not just a course, it's a journey.

I really appreciated the additional learning materials provided throughout the course. There were useful tables, illustrations, videos, and links that helped me understand and remember the material better. I found it especially convenient to print some of these materials and keep them in my study folder so that I could return to them whenever I needed to review something. Another thing I really liked was the structure of the subscription. Each day I could focus on one new lesson through one dedicated link, without having the new material mixed together with previous lessons. This may sound like a small detail, but for me it made studying much more manageable. It gave me a clear daily goal and also helped me understand when it was time to stop studying and take a proper break after completing the day's lesson. One of my favorite parts was the opportunity to learn more about Japanese culture. The lessons were not limited to language itself, and I really enjoyed the cultural information connected with everyday life in Japan. I would actually like to revisit the online lessons again in the future, both to review the language and to study the cultural details more carefully. There is always something new to notice when you return to the same material with a little more knowledge. The course also introduced me to many kanji that were new to me, as well as useful basic grammatical structures that I can apply in my Japanese studies. For a foreign learner, having language material connected with cultural context makes the learning experience much more meaningful. Finally, I would like to mention the personal side of my experience. As a foreign student, I especially appreciated how responsive and supportive the team was. I enjoyed the bonuses, kind messages, and good wishes that I received throughout my studies. Those small gestures made the course feel much more personal and welcoming.
Overall, my experience with this program was quite unique, and I am very grateful for the opportunity to study with them. I hope to continue learning Japanese and return to the course materials in the future. As a small personal wish, I think it would be wonderful to have a certificate confirming completion of the language program. I would love to keep it as a memory of this experience, because studying with this company has been a very special part of my Japanese-learning journey.

Attempted to charge me for a tutor I had not agreed to use, and after I found one I liked and paid for several months in advance for, I received multiple emails, text messages and direct phone calls informing me to pay twice over to continue lessons after the first month. I would not be able to say they were "professional."
I did find a fantastic tutor, so I won't give this business the lowest stars, but I would urge anyone considering using this matching service to keep ALL of your receipts and messages for future reference.

We have had an absolutely wonderful experience with HH JapaNeeds! The communication is always excellent, and their ability to match the perfect tutor to our children's needs is unmatched.
We have been lucky enough to work with two of their tutors now. Our past teacher, Nao Sensei, was fantastic, and our new tutor, Taku Sensei, is equally incredible. He is exceptionally warm, patient, and engaging. During our recent trial lesson, Taku Sensei used brilliant, creative methods like personalized name-writing and picture books to keep Isabel and Lucas completely immersed. They had a ton of fun and lost track of time!
Thanks to this wonderful agency and the high quality of teachers like Nao Sensei and Taku Sensei, our kids are incredibly motivated to learn Japanese. We highly recommend HH JapaNeeds to any family!

During my last extended stay in Japan, I contacted HH JapaNeeds to find teachers or volunteers with whom I could practice my Japanese. I must say I was impressed by the seriousness and quality of this language school. I answered quite a number of questions and even had a phone interview to assess my level.
The two people I met several times to practice Japanese with were highly motivated volunteers. It gave me the opportunity to discuss many different topics, learn a great deal about life in Japan, and at the same time improve my Japanese skills.
The preparation, follow-up, and administrative organization were always excellent, and a genuine effort is made to match students with the most suitable teachers or volunteers.
Many thanks !

I was very happy with my experience with HH JapaNeeds Tutoring! I reached out to the school online and received a very prompt response. I requested a tutor nearby the Tokyo suburb where I would be living and in less than a week HH JapaNeeds connected me with a tutor who was the same age and gender as me and lived less than 10 minutes away. The tutor was kind, organized and helpful. The monthly tutoring rate is also extremely affordable. I would highly recommend HH JapaNeeds to anyone looking for a quality tutor! Thanks HH JapaNeeds!

I was looking for a company that was able to be flexible and work with my specific requests for how I'd like to learn and I found it! HH JapaNeeds didn't hesitate to find a fantastic teacher who understood that I didn't want to do textbook lessons. I met her online to discuss my level and learning needs and then we met up in person and had conversation lessons in various locations in Osaka. I wanted to buy some green tea to take back home and my sensei took me to an excellent department store where I was able to meet the farmer who grew the tea! It was exactly the kind of experience I was hoping for.

He is a very helpful coordinator and always constantly checking if the requirement fit my needs.
He got me a tutor which is able to accommodate my schedule. The tutor is very patient when i tried to used poor Japanese to communicate with her. She tried to understand and correct my Japanese. It been a few months taking the classes and I am happy. The tutor always makes an effort to plan a lesson plan before the class which I am really grateful for it.

I would love to continue learning Japanese classes with them.

Title: A Fantastic Journey into Japanese: My Experience with Japanese e-Learning
Introduction:
I recently had the opportunity to explore the world of Japanese e-Learning, and I must say, it has been an incredible experience. As someone who has always been fascinated by Japanese culture and language, this platform provided me with a comprehensive and enjoyable way to learn Japanese. In this review, I would like to share my thoughts and impressions about the Japanese e-Learning program.
User-Friendly Interface:
One of the first things that impressed me about the Japanese e-Learning platform was its user-friendly interface. Navigating through the different lessons and modules was intuitive and straightforward. The layout was clean and visually appealing, making it easy to stay engaged and focused on the content. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced learner, the platform caters to all levels of proficiency, ensuring a seamless learning experience.
Comprehensive Curriculum:
The Japanese e-Learning program boasts a comprehensive curriculum that covers all aspects of the Japanese language. From basic vocabulary and grammar to reading, writing, and conversation practice, the course content is well-structured and thoughtfully organized. Each lesson builds upon the previous one, gradually increasing the complexity and difficulty level. The inclusion of interactive exercises, quizzes, and assessments helped me consolidate my knowledge and track my progress effectively.
Engaging Multimedia Resources:
What truly sets Japanese e-Learning apart is its extensive use of engaging multimedia resources. The incorporation of audio clips, videos, and interactive exercises made the learning process immersive and enjoyable. I particularly appreciated the authentic Japanese materials, such as dialogues, songs, and cultural snippets, which provided a glimpse into real-life situations and enhanced my understanding of the language in context.
Supportive Community:
Another aspect that I found invaluable was the supportive community within the Japanese e-Learning platform. The inclusion of discussion forums, chat groups, and live sessions allowed me to connect with fellow learners and native speakers. This not only provided an opportunity to practice my speaking and writing skills but also fostered a sense of belonging and motivation. The instructors and moderators were responsive and helpful, offering guidance and feedback whenever needed.
Flexibility and Accessibility:
Japanese e-Learning recognizes the importance of flexibility and accessibility in today's fast-paced world. The platform is accessible across various devices, including smartphones and tablets, enabling me to learn on the go. The self-paced nature of the course allowed me to tailor my learning schedule to fit my personal commitments. Whether you have a few minutes or several hours to spare, you can easily dive into the lessons and make progress at your own pace.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, my experience with Japanese e-Learning has been nothing short of exceptional. It provides a comprehensive curriculum, an engaging learning environment, and a supportive community that caters to learners of all levels. If you're looking to embark on a journey to learn Japanese from the comfort of your own home, I highly recommend giving Japanese e-Learning a try. It's an investment that will undoubtedly reward you with a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Japanese language and culture.

About 10 minutes is a useful starting point for a short study session. Some videos, practice materials or topics may take longer, depending on your level and how much you want to review.
What Japanese levels does the course cover?
Materials range from beginner basics to advanced topics, including JLPT N5–N1 practice and keigo. Choose resources that match your level. The course does not assume that you will progress from beginner to advanced within 60 days.
Can I join as a complete beginner?
Yes. You can begin with hiragana, katakana, numbers, basic expressions and simple grammar. More advanced resources are also included for learners who want to explore them.
How will I receive the course?
Complete the registration form using the email address where you want to receive the course. The learning emails introduce Japanese topics and resources that you can open whenever it is convenient. If you cannot find an email, check your spam or promotions folder.
Can I study on a smartphone or tablet?
Yes. You can read the emails and access the online learning materials on a smartphone, tablet or computer. Choose the device that is most comfortable for your study session.
Does the course include live lessons or a tutor?
No. This is a self-study email course. Live classes, personal feedback and individual tutoring are not included. You study the materials independently, without scheduled lesson appointments.
Do I have to study at the same time every day?
No. Emails arrive daily, but you decide when to read them. If you miss a day, return to the emails when you have time and continue at your own pace.
Can I also take one-on-one Japanese lessons?
Yes. If you want conversation practice or personal guidance, you can apply for one-on-one Japanese lessons at any time. These are optional paid lessons arranged separately. You do not need to finish the email course first.
