Konnichiwa! I'm Yumi, a native Japanese speaker and the creator of Japanese Mania. I've been teaching Japanese since 2017 to learners around the world.

Through the Japanese Mania podcast, YouTube channel, and my Kindle books, I've been helping learners enjoy Japanese through real language and culture. My courses turn the basics into short, clear video lessons with printable worksheets, so you can learn step by step at your own pace.
