Language and Culture with Cory

“Absolutely would recommend! 100%! No doubt about it!! I’ve been attempting to learn with no real structure for over five years and have gotten almost nowhere. Cory’s course has given me direction, understanding, and the guidance I was so lacking before. I finally feel like I’m getting somewhere. ”

“We’ve loved learning with Cory over the last few months! She’s helped us feel more comfortable with cultural practices and phrases we’ll use everyday when we’re in Japan. She’s personable, patient and knowledgeable! I feel so much more prepared from our lessons than from the TikTok “research” I had been doing”

“I feel so lucky to have found Cory on Instagram just a few weeks before my husband and I were scheduled for our first trip to Japan. We wanted an overview and tips on what to expect, proper etiquette, and all the little things you don't even know to ask. Cory was so helpful and friendly and fun to work with during our five lessons (with great supporting visuals) on different subjects!　She followed up quickly on any questions and sent us printout reviews of all we learned. She also encouraged us to contact her with any follow-up questions that might arise. I loved working with Cory and hope to start Japanese language lessons with her after our return from Japan. I can't recommend her highly enough!”

“When I first came across Cory's Program, there is a Japanese word that describes my feelings, "kimochi ii." It is a sense of relief and feels good. Just like when you get in a pool on a hot summer day. Meeting with Cory was like getting a double-dipping of a benefit. You get the language skills (especially when Cory passed the N1 test twice) and understand the culture from her firsthand experience living in Japan for many years. Her video lessons are very convenient since you can go at your own pace and pause when you feel overwhelmed with information. Moreover, one of the elements of learning a language is to understand the context of how it is used. Cory covers this aspect which helps me a lot.”

“My lessons with Cory elevated my experience in Japan because I was able to understand and speak way more Japanese than I expected! Cory not only makes sure you have lots of listening and speaking practice, but she also brings her unique perspective of living in Japan to help you better understand the culture and how Japanese people actually converse. I am so grateful for my lessons with Cory. Thanks to her, I was able to build connections and make friends in Japan.”

“I am really enjoying your course! Even though I've been trying to learn Japanese for so long, things are actually sticking already. I don't know how you do it, but I feel like I'm finally getting a grasp on Japanese--and we're only in Unit 2! Thank you so much!!”
