I have been trying to find a good Japanese provider in NYC who actually speaks Japanese, and preferably Japanese as her 1st language.

I kinda want a real almost in Japan kind of feeling.  You know what I am saying?  Any recommendations?

She is the one you want. Seriously, nothing comes close to her

I've met quite a few girls who are either half-Korean / half-Japanese or, for some other reasons, grew up going back and forth between Korea and Japan.  For most, K is their primary language but for several J is a close second and English is a distant third for survival in NY only.

Not quite the same thing as a 100% born and bred Nihonjin but good enough for "language practice" .

Most AMPs in NYC seem to be KMPs but once in a while a 100% Japanese or other non-K girl will be there for a while.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Went through her site, where she waxes poetic about undergoing geisha training. She has me smitten at the moment.
