Hello, my name is Makoto. I like traveling, I traveled to around 30 different countries. I used to live in New Zealand and Portugal. I lived in a few places such as Hokkaido, Gunma, and Okinawa.
I enjoy reading manga and watching Anime . My favorite one is Slam Dunk. I also like many others like One piece, Kimetsu no Yaiba, Tensura, Danmachi.
I like sports too, especially tennis, basketball, and Rugby.
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have been teaching Japanese on italki since May 2022. I completed the Japanese Language Teacher Training Course in July. So I can teach you Japanese using different methods.
I studied English in New Zealand and Portuguese in Portugal from scratch and currently studying Spanish so I understand the challenges and joy of learning new languages.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My course will primarily focus on the following areas:
*Free talk
We can engage in conversations about various topics that interest you. This approach ensures your satisfaction and keeps you motivated throughout the learning process
*Japanese common phrases and grammar
Having completed a Japanese teaching course and gained experience teaching on platforms like italki, I am confident in my ability to employ diverse teaching methods
*Japanese business in the hospitality industries
From my professional experience in hospitality industries, can teach you the common words and phrases used in these fields
I want your Japanese to be improved and at the same time let's make learning Japanese fun!

Getting familiar with Japanese for beginners/「初中級」日本語の基礎(きそ)から応用(おうよう)まで
Makoto does an excellent job of tailoring each lesson to what I want to work on. He asks me for feedback and takes my responses into consideration when preparing our next lesson. He is patient and kind and makes me feel comfortable even though sometimes it can feel embarrassing when you are trying to speak in an unfamiliar language. I always enjoy our lessons and feel like I am learning a lot.

Thank you Makoto-san for the great lesson. I got to speak more Japanese than I thought I could and learnd many new words - even if it was my first lesson with him.
