Once Burned, Twice Shy

I purchased the book at full price and a few days later I’m informed that a 50% discount is being offered. I feel cheated. I sent an email and never got a reply. You have lost me as a future customer!

Hi John,

Thank you for your feedback, and I’m really sorry to hear that you felt disappointed.

We occasionally run limited-time promotions, and unfortunately we’re not able to apply discounts retroactively. However, I completely understand your frustration.

Regarding your email — I’m truly sorry if my reply didn’t reach you. I always aim to respond promptly and with care, and I apologize if there was any technical issue.

I value all of my customers, and I hope you’ll continue to enjoy learning Japanese.

Very good teacher!

I'm a beginner Japanese learner, and I found that I benefited a lot from taking the Japanese Online Lesson with Akari. She is very patient and takes her time to explain everything clearly.

I also really appreciate her podcast "Slow Japanese." It's a great way to improve my listening skills, and it's also very interesting. I have learned a lot about the Japanese language from her podcasts, and I am confident that I will be able to learn more in the future.

Highly recommended for those who want to improve Japanese faster

I recently started using Mochifika to learn Japanese, and I couldn't be happier with my experience so far! The website offers a wide range of materials for beginners, intermediates, all of which are well-structured and easy to follow.

What I love most about Mochifika is how engaging and interactive the lessons are. The lessons cover all aspects of the language, including real conversation, vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension, and pronunciation, and provide plenty of opportunities to practice what you've learned. I've already noticed a significant improvement in my Japanese skills after just a few weeks taking lessons with teacher Akari.

Additionally, I highly recommend the "Slow Japanese" podcast provided on the website. The podcast is delivered in a slow and clear manner, making it easy to understand and improve your listening skills. Akari is also very friendly and engaging, making it feel like you're having a conversation with a friend.

Overall, I would definitely recommend Mochifika and the "Slow Japanese" podcast to anyone looking to learn Japanese. The resources are top-notch, and the teacher is incredibly supportive. If you're serious about learning Japanese, Mochifika is definitely the way to go!

I found Mochifika through her podcast…

I found Mochifika through her podcast which is perfect for beginners like me.
This is great material for the first steps in the listening practice of Japanese, other Japanese podcasts are still spoken too fast for me.
I like to use scripts from episodes to expand my vocabulary bank.
There is also the option of taking private lessons which comes useful because Japanese is full of tricky words and grammar that are for example context or courtesy related. I use classes with her to ascertain many language puzzles where a simple google search is impractical. Classes with her also encouraged me to start having simple conversations in Japanese despite my rookie skills.

Akari's Slow Japanese podcast is thoughtful and well crafted

Akari's Slow Japanese podcast is perfect for beginners like me. Other podcasts and programs can either be intimidating or dull but this is fantastic. The materials i.e. the podcast and the web resources, work well together are well crafted and allow complete beginners to practice listening skills and learn vocab. Thank you very much Akari.

I wanna reccomended Akari's podcast

I wanna reccomended Akari's podcast. My weakness in learning japanese is definitely listening. I'm was trying practice by watching japanese video on YouTube, but in many videos people talking very fast. Too fast for me. This is why Akari's podcast is very helpfull. Of course, on the beginning it's was hard too, but right now I can understand 70% content in the first hearing. ありがとうございます。

Great podcast & teacher for beginners

I've followed Akari's podcast since it started.
Until then, I wasn't confident in Japanese at all and it was difficult to listen and speak. But thanks to her Slow Japanese, I learned the tips of listening and learned a lot of vocabularies and cultures.
Her YouTube channel and lessons are also very interesting!
