A little bit about the origins of Nihongo and the JET connection…. Nihongo was created by Chris Vasselli, a JET spouse who lived in Hyogo Prefecture from 2012 to 2014. While his partner was teaching English, Chris immersed himself in Japanese language studies at a school in Osaka. Their evenings were spent in deep conversations about Japanese, linguistics, and the challenges of learning a new language, sharing insights from both the student and teacher perspectives. These discussions, combined with their mutual love for Japan, inspired the creation of Nihongo. Since 2018, Chris has devoted himself to Nihongo full-time, helping learners worldwide deepen their connection to the language.
Chris also recently launched the Nihongo Lessons “All Access Pass,” a subscription that gives you access to all Nihongo Lessons content for just $5/month. You can read more about that here.
If you're looking for more ways to stay engaged with your Japanese, don’t forget about our 日本語 Programs. We host a monthly Japanese Reading Group led by JET alum Daniel Morales (Fukushima 2005–08), along with quarterly Japanese Language Coaching Sessions co-hosted by Daniel and Chris. These programs are a great way to stay connected, motivated, and supported in your language journey.
We’re proud to have Nihongo on board as a JET-Owned Business sponsor and to see this partnership support our alumni community and Japanese learners.
