Hello! My name is Elly and I've been learning Japanese since 2012, and teaching
since 2018, officially founding Ippo Ippo Japanese in 2020. Find out more about
me here. Through Ippo Ippo Japanese, I provide teaching for both individuals and
groups, with a strong focus on providing a supportive and motivating environment
for students. Learning Japanese is a long but exciting process, and I hope that
I can help others enjoy it even a fraction as much as I still do! The majority
of classes I teach are online, meaning that you can access Japanese lessons from
wherever you are. However, if you're craving some in-person learning, I do
occasionally hold events in Edinburgh (Scotland, UK), where I'm based. Sign up
to the Ippo Ippo Newsletter, follow me on social media or simply get in touch to
find out what's coming up soon. Why Choose Ippo Ippo? There are plenty of

Does Ippo Ippo Mean? In Japanese, Ippo Ippo is written as 一歩一歩。 一 is the
Japanese character for 'one'. 歩 is the character for 'step'. This makes 一歩一歩
literally 'one step one step'. In other words: 'step by step' or 'one step at a
time'! The choice of name came about partly simply because of the nice, bouncy
ring that 'Ippo Ippo' has to it. However, more important is the meaning. At Ippo
Ippo, learning Japanese is less about sprinting to memorise every vocab item,
grammar point or kanji, and more about the process of putting one step forward
at a time, finding ways to have fun and explore through the language. While
there are times when you may want to up the pace, in general, a more sustainable
approach is encouraged, helping you to steadily build confidence and keep up
motivation in the long run. 日本語の勉強、一歩一歩頑張りましょうね！ Nihongo no benkyō, ippo ippo

one step at a time!
