Japanese Subtext Check: What Your Japanese Really Says
Services are provided primarily in Japanese.
This allows us to work directly with nuance, subtext, and real usage.
English may be used as needed to support understanding and clarification.
What is this service?
This is a one-time, 30-minute check for people who feel that
something is off in Japanese communication —
even when the language itself seems correct.
It focuses on how Japanese is actually being received,
and how you are interpreting the other person’s Japanese in return.
When do people use this check, and who comes to it?
People use this check when communication begins to feel subtly misaligned —
not because their Japanese is “wrong,” but because something shifts beneath the surface.
For example:
“I’ll get back to you” turns out to mean don’t wait.
“That sounds good” was not agreement.
“Sorry” was followed by quiet distance.
Half of clients are not beginners.
They can handle basic to moderate Japanese communication,
but no longer want to rely on guesswork or self-blame.
Some are advanced learners.
Some are still at a basic level,
but want one well-judged sentence to land properly.
In what situations is this useful?
This check is useful in situations where Japanese affects energy, positioning, and evaluation, rather than just information.
It is often used in:
– personal or romantic relationships
– moments where character, tone, or presence matters
– interviews, job hunting, or other evaluative exchanges
– environments where words are spoken in front of others, remembered, or replayed
The focus is not fluency, but whether the language supports the moment — or quietly works against it.
What kind of result can you expect?
This is not a vocabulary or grammar review.
It clarifies:
- what subtext is present in the Japanese
- how it may be interpreted
- and how to adjust going forward
You leave with a clear judgment you can act on immediately.
