The Story Behind Japanese Kaiwa
Created by a language lover, designed for real-life conversations —
to help you speak naturally & connect meaningfully with ease & Confidence
Hi, I’m Xiyue ("She-way"), the creator of Japanese Kaiwa — a language enthusiast, interpreter, teacher, and mom with a deep love for communication, cultures and connection.
My journey with Japanese began in college, where I majored in Japanese Language in China and soon found myself studying International Economics as an exchange student in Japan. That experience not only deepened my fluency, but also sparked a lifelong passion for the culture, people, and nuance behind the Japanese language.
Over the past 15+ years, I’ve worked as a professional interpreter in Japanese, English, Mandarin, and Hakka across industries like legal, medical, tech, government, banking and more.
I’ve also taught Japanese, English & Chinese languages one-on-one, in small groups, and even for corporate and government clients for over 10 years.
And through it all, I discovered something: to learn a new language, you don’t need more textbooks. You need someone who can make the language come alive and make it stick.
That’s what Japanese Kaiwa is all about.
I created this course because I know what it’s like to learn Japanese from scratch — and I’ve spent years refining the most effective and enjoyable ways to speak it naturally. I’ve organized everything in a way that gets straight to what matters, skipping the boring grammar drills and focusing on real-world, practical language you’ll actually use.
And I’ve made the full course 100% FREE — because I know what it’s like to grow up with limited access to resources. I was raised in a small farming village in China, where my family couldn’t afford anything beyond basic tuition. That experience shaped my desire to make language learning accessible to anyone with the passion to try.
Another inspiration? My son. When he started showing interest in learning Japanese, I searched for something fun and easy to follow — but came up empty. So I created a course the way I would teach him: simple, clear, and engaging.
My husband, who has encouraged me for years to share my gift for teaching, gave me the final push to bring this vision to life.
Japanese Kaiwa is more than just a language course. It’s a labor of love — built to help you speak confidently, connect meaningfully, and enjoy the beautiful journey of learning Japanese.
I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s start this journey together.
Rave Reviews from Our Students
I’m so glad I found Xiyue while preparing to move to Japan.
I had less than three months before my relocation, but thanks to her practical and culturally-rich lessons, I arrived feeling confident and ready.
Even after moving, I chose to continue learning with Xiyue virtually, despite having access to free in-person classes from native Japanese teachers.
Her teaching style just clicked for me — it was simple, effective, and infused with cultural insights.
I was able to thrive both professionally and personally, and with just one lesson a week, I passed the JLPT N2 in under a year and a half.
I can’t thank Xiyue enough!
Tara B.
When I found Xiyue, I had already lived in Japan for over 10 years — long enough to think I didn’t need more lessons.
So when she said we’d start from the beginning, I was skeptical. But she explained it was better to rebuild my foundation than patch up years of gaps.
I reluctantly agreed… and by the end of the first class, I was in tears. 'Where were you 10 years ago?’
Her ability to explain the ‘why’ behind the language, through both a cultural and multilingual lens, made everything finally make sense.
She helped me understand not just the Japanese language, but also the culture & Japanese way of life.
I only wish I had met her sooner.
