A personal message by Aika, Cofounder & CEO, Kigaru Talks
I created Kigaru Talks because I saw a pattern in my own students. They knew the grammar, the vocabulary. But when it came to actually speaking, they froze. What they lacked wasn't knowledge. It was a safe, encouraging space to express themselves.
As someone who speaks four languages myself, I've learned that the foundation of language isn't just study, it's environment. When the space feels "kigaru" (light, warm, pressure-free), we become more willing to open up, to make mistakes, to connect.
That's the heart of Kigaru Talks. A place where it's okay to be unsure, where mistakes are part of the conversation, and where learning feels like connection.
