    I specialize in conversation practice! I also provide Youtube videos of Japanese conversation. Hello, I'm Masa.
    Are you interested in starting conversation practice? Have you started practicing conversations but don't feel like you're improving much? Do you always end up using the same phrases? Are you looking to move on to the next level?
    I'm here for you.

    Why choose Masayuki F.
    "Very patient tutor, which I need as my knowledge of the Japanese languages is not the best so I can take some time to remember words we have spoken just moments before. He is very keen to help me learn and understand words I do not know well and struggle to bring to my mind as we go, in a very casual non restrictive manner as I learn best from just talking naturally instead of from a text book"
