Are you interested in Japan and Japanese Culture?

A return of the varied programme of "Japanese Culture Classes & Workshops" is being planned for 2025. These classes take an informal and entertaining look at traditional and contemporary aspects of Japanese culture.

ONLINE English Conversation オンラインで簡単な英会話を楽しみましょう!

As many of you know, I taught English conversation in Japan for 13 years (Nagahama, Yuzawa & Shizuoka) in high schools, university, companies and adult education. In the UK I also ran mixed cultural English conversation classes for adults (Luton, Chepstow & Newport).

Sakura is now offering "ONLINE Easy English conversation" in 2025. (Variable times - UK GMT) (Please note that numbers are limited)

Click here to book your introductory one-to-one 20 minute discounted taster session to establish your level and discuss your needs.

Practise easy, relaxing English conversation online, improve your pronunciation and build your confidence with me, Allison Mackenzie (マッケンジー•アリソン)

Thank you again for all your support.
We very much hope to see you soon!

Best Wishes
From Allison & Michael Mackenzie
