It was a pleasure having Makoto as my teacher! He took the time to get to know my interests and goals. It’s my dream to go to Japan to work as a tutor. Makoto created a personalized lesson plan that fit my specific learning needs. I was very appreciative of his willingness to be flexible with my schedule. Overall I had an excellent experience working with Makoto.

Christian built a personalized plan for me to learn conversation Japanese before my trip to Japan. He even helped me with my logistical needs. I recommend Christian for anyone interested in learning Japanese

As a stylist, I work with people all over the world. I had a Japanese couple reach out to me via a friend with help styling their wedding looks. They didn’t speak much English and I do not speak any Japanese, but I was eager to help them find the perfect looks for their wedding events. To ease the process, I hired Christian of Kizna Languages to be the intermediary on calls and to help translate my decks and other materials for the couple. The process working with Christian was seamless - he was professional, quick to respond, and provided accurate translations to help me communicate with my clients. I also learned a bit of Japanese along the way! I would highly recommend hiring him for your English to Japanese / Japanese to English translation needs, he will not disappoint!
