I’m a linguist, language teacher, and translator. I help academics and professionals be confident in their ability to accurately and confidently use Japanese in work and personal settings, with a clear understanding of culture and nuance.

If you’ve ever gotten lost in translation or felt fearful of saying the wrong thing, you’re in the right place. I’ve been translating most of my life, and teaching for over 10 years.

Through the services we offer at Kokoro Communications, we will make Japanese accessible to you so that you can achieve your goals.

Kokoro Communications provides customized services to every client, whether they are looking for professional Japanese lessons,or Japanese English translation.

“Kokoro Communications' Japanese Phonetics 101 course breaks down Japanese pronunciation in easy to follow videos and accompanying materials. It's a great mix of theory and practice that would be useful not only to those earlier in their learning journey (like myself) but also those who are more advanced grammatically but wanting to sound like a native speaker.”

“I signed up for Japanese classes with Sachi, hoping to reach my goal of proficiency, in order to be able to work Japan routes as a flight attendant. I was very happy with her curated curriculum designed for my job as a flight attendant, which will help me on a day to day basis.”

— Marjorie Nadeau, Air Canada Flight Attendant

“Sachi provided translation services for my Japanese Family Registry (Koseki), and I am extremely pleased with the comprehensive and meticulous work provided. Overall, the service exceeded my expectations, delivering a thorough and precise translation that truly reflected the intricacies of my Koseki. I highly recommend Sachi and Kokoro Communications, thank you so much!”
