Since I am using Gmail as my e-mail provider, you may need to check that my replies do not get placed in your junk mail folder. I usually reply within three business days, so if you do not receive a reply in that timeframe, there may be problems with you receiving mail from Gmail.

Unfortunately I do not have any openings for lessons at the moment.  Currently I am only giving individual lessons, so I will only have an opening when one of my students decides to stop taking lessons.  If you are interested in learning Japanese, and you would like me to send you a note when I have an opening next time, please contact Kyoko at:
