Immerse with your favorite media

Immersion over instruction

Sound familiar?

"I understand 70% of what I watch and can't get past it."

"I freeze up the moment I have to actually speak."

"Every course treats my hobby like it's not serious enough."

Why me

I'm not a native speaker teaching a method. I'm the proof the method works.

Five years of anime, manga, and games (no classes, no textbooks, no time in Japan) got me to near-native Japanese. Every competitor in this space is either a native speaker teaching a system, or a linguistics-trained coach teaching theory. I have neither. I have the receipts.

学

Self-taught. Proof, not theory.

What I've built

A custom Anki system from scratch. JP-to-JP subtitle transcription skills sharp enough to catch line-level dialogue timing, the exact unit your coaching is built around.

How I diagnose

I don't start with grammar. I start with the scene you're stuck on, work out exactly why it's not clicking, and reverse-engineer a path through it, the same way I taught myself.

The Coaching

How the ongoing coaching works

Pick your first scene

You bring the anime, manga, game, or visual novel scene you're actually stuck on, the one you keep rewatching without fully getting.

Weekly 1:1 sessions, week after week

We work through your media live and ongoing, diagnosing gaps in comprehension and building the vocabulary, grammar, and cultural context you're missing, scene by scene as you bring new material.

Custom Anki deck, always growing

No generic decks. Every card comes straight from what you're watching or playing, built live in-session and expanded every week you're coaching with me.

Monthly progress check-ins

A clear read, every month, on what's shifted, from passive comprehension toward actually understanding, and speaking about, the media you love.

One flat fee covers a full month of coaching. Pay once, no subscription, no auto-renewal.

Not for everyone

This is not for:

JLPT or certification test prep
Textbook grammar drilling from zero
A one-off crash course with no follow-through
For someone with zero anime, manga, or game exposure

And it's not a substitute for your own immersion time outside sessions, this coaching sharpens what you're already watching and playing, it doesn't replace it.
