Your week

Each step feeds the next. Repeat weekly.

1. Live sessionsA live session (up to 25 min) with your teacher every week: your questions, what you got stuck on, and practice with the group. In the 3 months before your exam it becomes a 2-hour exam-prep class each week.
2. Daily practiceOne focus a day — grammar, vocabulary, listening, kanji, or reading. Small doses, no cramming.Start today's practice →
3. AI conversation practiceYour personal AI conversation prompt works with ChatGPT or Grok, so you can hold real conversations on your own time, as often as you like.
4. Study communityLearn alongside other students at your level. Questions answered, progress shared, nobody studies alone.
5. Weekend conversation meetupAn optional weekend get-together for guided conversation practice. Included — not an add-on.

Your AI conversation partner

When your course starts, you get a custom AI conversation prompt for ChatGPT or Grok. It turns the AI into a conversation coach at exactly your level — free practice between sessions, as much as you want.

Travel Japan on your own — trains, restaurants, hotels, and shopping, handled in Japanese
