Director's message
Thanks for visiting SJA's website. I'm Mana Suzuki, the representative.
In 2008, after I retired from the bank, I met an Indian family at the kindergarten where my eldest daughter was going to. In the struggle with language and with communication, I started my translating service as a volunteer activity as a casual try.
Triggered by this experience, SJA spread all over the area gradually, and a wide range of persons like housewives, the company managers, language teachers, and the businessmen of the foreign companies has learned so far.

After learning Japanese from you, our life has become much easier in Japan. I think all the credit for our friendly and easy stay in foreign country like Japan is your courtesy only. I am sure you will have a lot of success ahead and lot more people like us will get great benefit from you.”
“Suzuki-sensei. I joined this class to learn simple conversation. Because I want to talk and chat with my Japanese friends. Every time, sensei doesn't stick to textbook and always thinks flexibly. Sensei taught me a lot of practical Japanese. It was very useful.Now I can communicate in Japanese without any hesitation! Thank you. ”
