Cases in which we do not reply (provide feedback) to your message

We do not reply to members’ message without their answers or opinions

Our lessons and services are focused on improving members’ Japanese skills. In order to achieve this goal, this cycle is important.

Pattern 1

Learn Japanese → Understand and use it → We (professional Japanese teachers) check it → We provide you with our feedback → If it is correct, you keep using it → Learn new Japanese → Understand and use it → Continue…

Pattern 2

Learn Japanese → Understand and use it → We check it → We provide you with our feedback → If it is incorrect, you correct it → We check it again → We provide you with our feedback → Continue…

In our mail support, we perform the roles of “We (professional Japanese teachers) check it” and “We provide you with our feedback.” If you send us a message without your answer or opinion, we may not improve your Japanese. Therefore, we do not reply to it.

Here are some examples of when our mail support does not reply to members’ messages (provide feedback).

Example message 1 from our mail support

From a member:
「飲食店」. Please tell me the meaning of this kanji.

This message does not include the member’s answer or opinion. Therefore, we do not reply to it.

This is the well-thought-out question:
「飲食店」. According to some posts on the Internet, the kanji means “restaurant.” Is it correct?

If we receive this message, we will reply to it.

Here is what we will reply:
「飲食店」means “restaurant,” “café,” and “bar.” It’s a generic term for places where we can eat and drink. By the way,「レストラン」means “restaurant.”

Example message 2 from our mail support

From a member:
「工場」. Please tell me the kanji reading.

We are sorry. We do not respond to this kind of message either. Please look it up yourself first. After doing it, please share your answer or opinion with us.

This is the well-thought-out question:
「工場」. Is the kanji reading「こうじょう」?

This is a quality question. We can answer it. His answer is correct.

By the way, Google translation often shows wrong kanji readings. Therefore, we recommend asking us about the kanji readings using our mail support after you look it up yourself. To avoid using incorrect readings please use our service.

The key point when you use our mail support

Ichiyo
Ichiyo

Please include your answers or opinions in your message!

We also teach Japanese vocabulary and their meanings in our mail support. However, we are not a Japanese dictionary. We provide lessons and services where we improve our members’ Japanese. The action of looking up and thinking by yourself is the first key point when you learn Japanese. Therefore, please send us messages including your answers or opinions.


To Have Correct Japanese Language Skills

We teach Japanese to non-native Japanese learners. Judging from our experience, 90% of Japanese learners use incorrect Japanese and often speak rudely, even though they have lived in Japan for many years.

Therefore, we created two services. One is our “private Japanese conversation lesson” and the other is the “Daily Japanese Mail Support” service.

In the “private Japanese conversation lesson,” you can talk with a native Japanese teacher. Let us practice conversation together!

If you are a member of our private lesson or “Daily Japanese Mail Support,” we can check and correct your Japanese every day.
