A note on this recording: Natsumi Sensei had trouble with her internet connection during this lesson, leading to some low resolution or choppy video and a few places with minor audio hiccups. While the content is still the high quality Natsumi Sensei brings to every lesson, we want to apologize for these issues and to let you know we are working with her to address this.

Hello Patrons,

We are pleased to announce that the recording of our recent lesson with Natsumi Sensei is now available for viewing!

This topic for this lesson was 尊敬語 (そんけいご, “respectful language”), including a brief explanation of keigo and when it is used, as well as exercises with verbs, conjugations, and phrases. Natsumi Sensei provided the files attached to this post (in Excel and PDF formats) for those who want to review the word lists used in this lesson.

We hope you find this resource helpful in your journey to mastering Japanese phonetics, and hope you can join in on the next lesson with Natsumi Sensei.

If you would like to work with Natsumi Sensei one-on-one, she is still available for private lessons. You can learn more about private lessons in this post. You can schedule a single 30- or 60-minute lesson if you just have a few questions or areas you want to practice, or you can sign up for a set of four 30- or 60-minute for a discounted price.
