On this channel, I create videos tailored for beginners to pre-intermediate learners of Japanese (JLPT-N5 to N3 level). Immerse yourself in the language through storytelling, shadowing, and other techniques like TPRS (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling). My lessons are designed to help you naturally develop listening and speaking skills without relying on translations.
In addition to teaching Japanese, I also work as a certified immigration lawyer in Japan (Gyoseishoshi). I specialize in visa support for those planning to live or work in Japan. If you're interested in applying for a Japanese visa, such as a Digital Nomad Visa or Startup Visa, feel free to reach out for guidance.
☆ What You’ll Learn Here
☑ Improve your Japanese through easy-to-follow lessons and stories.
☑ Gain insight into Japanese culture and daily life.
☑ Learn about practical tips for living in Japan, including visa and legal advice.

🌸 New Podcast Series: Meg Talk🎧
First of all, I’m really sorry that I haven’t been able to upload new content recently.🙇
I’ve been very busy with my work, especially visa and immigration-related work in Japan. I talk a little more about that — and what I’ve been doing recently — in the first episode of my new podcast series.
I’ll continue uploading Japanese learning videos on YouTube as usual, but on the podcast, I’d like to talk more casually about:
・My work in Japan
・Japanese visas and immigration
・Daily life in Japan
・Things I’ve been thinking about recently
I’ll speak in simple, natural Japanese, so I hope you can enjoy listening without worrying about understanding every word.
The first episode is:
Meg Talk #01: My Work, Summer Vacation, and This Podcast // Upper Beginner Japanese Listening
Please give it a listen! 😊🎧

🌸 New Edition Coming Soon! 🌸
Some learners told me they wanted an updated version of this episode —
so I created a New Edition of “My Town”!
🎬 #70 わたしのまち《My Town》 – New Edition
https://youtu.be/NHr3boS4OLU
This updated edition has:
• completely renewed visuals
• several new sentences
• an in-video Question Time section
If you enjoyed #37 My Town, I hope you’ll enjoy this improved version too!
Please look forward to it 😊
📝 Study PDF (script + vocabulary) will be available on Ko-fi.
