Are you finding it difficult to get to the next level in Japanese? Is there a grammar point you just can’t wrap your head around?
It’s OK - it happens to everyone. I created this community for learners just like you.
When you join the Learning Cafe, you’ll have direct access to me, and to a network of supportive learners. I’ll support you with targeted knowledge about language, culture, and the most effective study methods for you.
Everyone learns in a different way, and it’s natural that not every method works well for everyone. I’ll help you discover the best way to move forward for you, so you won't struggle alone anymore, and you can spend more time enjoying learning Japanese!
I've dedicated my life to helping and supporting Japanese learners stay motivated and excited about learning.
Real communication from your heart will enrich your life - and even total beginners can communicate in Japanese. My passion is making that possible, and I want you to experience this in the same way that my students do.

I struggled with learning Japanese by myself for years. It was a very frustrating cycle of learning and forgetting and constantly trying new apps, textbooks and methods.
However, when I started learning how to study Japanese from Arai-sensei, I've quickly gained both confidence and language ability. I'm learning faster than I have in years, too!
I would recommend the Learning Cafe to anyone who is serious about permanently getting better at Japanese and who wants to break the cycle of ineffective self-study.

Before, I couldn’t find a textbook or a course that suited my learning style. It was annoying that I had to waste lots of money on books and classes that didn’t help my studies.
But I have become confident enough to speak with Japanese natives.
Arai Academy's learning support is fantastic, I leaned how to study Japanese which worked because it's completely different approach from leaning French.
Now, I feel much more confident when communicating in Japanese without too much difficulty.
