Student voices

In their own words.

Moe-sensei’s classes are all so much fun. She’s always well prepared with something new and interesting to study. Her enthusiasm gives the classes a lively atmosphere and makes everyone feel welcome and encouraged to participate (and make mistakes!)

It feels like a real life class because of the physical space, props, and classmates! I find it much more fun and memorable than a webcam language class.

The VR Nihongo Classes with Moe Sensei are a blast. From interactive Role Play sessions in VR you can make real connections and memories with the Japanese language.

Why VR Nihongo exists

For learners who need a safer way to speak.

Moe's public story starts with a shy student who became more comfortable practicing Japanese as an avatar in VRChat. That changed the classroom idea: if the environment feels playful and safe, learners speak more.

01 Confidence first

Camera-off, avatar-friendly, beginner-welcome spaces reduce speaking pressure.

02 Use it immediately

Driving, camping, interviews, food, teaching, and news become speaking missions.

03 Pop culture with output

Anime and manga input feed real sentences, pronunciation, reading, and discussion.

なぜアバター？Why are you an Avatar?

I am a little bit shy...and I always wanted to be an anime character!

どうして始めたの？what made you start this?

I was teaching a shy boy who was afraid to speak Japanese. One day I discovered he was practicing Japanese in VR chat and he can speak so comfortably as an avatar.

どうしてVR？why are you teaching in mixed reality

I believe in learning as you have fun and also building a virtual bridge to bring you closer to Japan! wherever you are!
