Feel uncomfortable speaking up in big classes?

Let's be honest—sitting in a packed room trying to practice your Japanese conversation skills can mean you barely get a word in.

That's why our conversational classes are kept super small and ultra-relaxed. No huge crowds, no judgment, and plenty of actual talking time. Just a friendly group, a great vibe, and a teacher who actually has time for you.

Zero pressure. Zero intimidation. Just a fun space to build your confidence.

Spots in our classes are strictly limited so everyone gets a proper go. Keen to check it out? Come along and sit in on one of our lessons. There are no strings attached—only if you like it, you can continue your learning journey with us and like-minded people.

Come meet our teacher and fellow students, and experience speaking Japanese for yourself!

What is Matsuri?
Matsuri means “festival” in Japanese.

Matsuri Brisbane is comin in a few weeks time on Sat. 5th Sep.
It is a wonderful celebration of Japanese food, culture, music, and community — and there is something for everyone to enjoy!

You can enjoy a delicious variety of Japanese food, including takoyaki, bento, onigiri, Japanese snacks, matcha flavoured sweets, Japanese-flavoured shaved ice, and refreshing drinks such as matcha, b**r, and sake and much more to list.

There are also lots of entertainment, stalls, and hands-on cultural experiences to enjoy throughout the day. You will feel Japan for sure.

If you are learning Japanese, it is your oppportunity to use it!

And one of the highlights of the day is Bon Odori (Bon Dance), held from 4:30–5:00 pm as we come together to celebrate at the end of Matsuri.

Come along, meet some of our teachers, and join us in the Bon Odori circle!

Everyone is welcome. You don’t need to know the dance, and you certainly don’t need to be Japanese. Just bring yourself, your family and friends, and your smile. It’s a beautiful opportunity to experience Japanese culture and feel part of the Japanese community here in Brisbane.

We’d love to see you there and share this special day with you! ❤️

“Someday, I’d love to speak Japanese…”　✨

Have you been thinking that for months—or even years?

Life gets busy with work, school, family, and all the responsibilities that come with it. And starting something new takes energy. We completely understand.

That’s exactly why we’ve decided to open a new class designed for people who want to take that first step but just need a little extra encouragement. ✨

This new class starts a little earlier than our previous sessions, making it easier to fit Japanese into your week.

Even after a full 90 minutes lesson, the class finishes at 8:00 PM, leaving you plenty of time to enjoy dinner, relax at home, or unwind with your favourite TV show. It’s a schedule that works well even if you have an early start the next morning.

We’ve also made this class more accessible and beginner-friendly than ever, with a new format to help more people start their Japanese learning journey with confidence.

Why wait for “someday” when you can start today?

Our classes are more than just a place to learn vocabulary and grammar. They’re a place to meet like-minded people, discover Japanese culture, build confidence, and expand your world.

Beginners are always welcome. Our friendly teachers and supportive community are ready to welcome you with open arms.

📅 Every Wednesday | 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
📍 Alderley

To help students improve their speaking skills effectively, our classes are kept small. Places are limited, so if you’ve been thinking, “This time, I’m really going to do it,” we’d love to hear from you. Send us a message through the link below 💌

Imagine walking the same path as Samurai did 400 years ago... 🏔️✨

This is the Nakasendo Trail (中山道), an ancient highway connecting Kyoto and Tokyo during the Edo period. Preserved towns like Magome and Tsumago make you feel like you've stepped back in time.

💡 Today’s Japanese Lesson for Travelers:
When you get lost or want to find a beautiful spot like this, use this phrase:

🗣️ 「ここはどこですか？」(Koko wa doko desu ka?)
＝ "Where is this place?"
