こんにけは。
Let's learn Japanese, properly.

A warm, structured introduction to real conversational Japanese β€” starting from wherever you are.

All levels welcome β€” from zero Japanese to fluent
No textbooks β€” every lesson is a real conversation
Culture included β€” not just grammar, the "why" behind it
Your path

Four stages, no grades

Named after the concept this whole studio is built on β€” hover each stage to see what it actually feels like.

Stage 01
γ―γ˜γ‚γΎγ—γ¦
Hajimemashite
Nice to meet you

For total beginners. Greetings, survival phrases, ordering food, asking directions β€” getting comfortable making sound before worrying about perfect grammar.

Stage 02
建前
Tatemae
Building the polite face

You know the basics but freeze up mid-conversation. This stage is pure speaking reps β€” longer sentences, tenses, real back-and-forth β€” to break the plateau.

Stage 03
本音
Honne
The real talk stage

Casual form, opinions, humor, cultural nuance. Where relationships, dating culture, and "what people actually mean" become part of the lesson.

Stage 04
ζ₯΅
Kiwami
The pinnacle

Slang, wordplay, sarcasm, abstract topics β€” almost entirely in Japanese. This is where lessons stop feeling like lessons at all.

What we talk about

Six themes, endless conversations

No fixed syllabus β€” lessons pull from these depending on your stage, your week, and what's actually on your mind.

Everyday Life & Travel

Ordering, navigating, small talk, daily routines β€” practical Japanese for real situations.

Work & Ambition

Interviews, office culture, career goals β€” built for anyone relocating or job-hunting in Japan.

Honne Talk β€” Relationships

Dating culture, honest conversations about love and life β€” our signature topic pillar.

Culture Decoder

Etiquette, unspoken rules, tatemae vs honne in daily life β€” the context textbooks skip.

Pop Culture & Interests

Anime, music, current events β€” whatever you're into, brought into the conversation.

Free Talk / Nama Sessions

No plan, just conversation β€” for when you're ready to just talk like friends do.

Portrait of Mimi, your Japanese teacher
About your teacher

Hi, I'm Mimi. 🌸

I'm a native Japanese speaker from Japan, currently living in Barcelona. Having lived abroad and learned foreign languages myself, I understand both the excitement and the challenges of communicating in a new language.

For me, learning a language isn't about memorizing endless grammar rulesβ€”it's about connecting with people.

That's why I created Japanese with Mimi.

My lessons are designed to feel like a conversation with a friend rather than a traditional classroom. We talk about topics that genuinely interest youβ€”travel, food, everyday life, work, relationships, culture, or anything else you'd like to discuss. Along the way, I'll help you improve your vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and most importantly, your confidence.

Whether you're preparing for your first trip to Japan, dreaming of living there one day, or simply want to enjoy real conversations with Japanese people, every lesson is tailored to your goals and pace.

My students often tell me that the lessons feel relaxed, enjoyable, and that the time passes surprisingly quickly. That's exactly how I want learning to feel.

I believe that the best way to learn Japanese is to use itβ€”to laugh, ask questions, make mistakes, and discover the language naturally.

I can't wait to help you do the same.

Let's make Japanese part of your life, not just another subject to study.
