I teach Japanese and translate it together with my husband. I gained insight into how foreigners experience Japan and its language by teaching Boeing employees in Nagoya and Syrian family. I like to use illustrations to help students understand difficult concepts, as can be seen in my books. In April 2019, I began creating four-panel comics and articles related

For formal lessons, I make individual lesson plans for each student and use pdf, real-life materials (menus, etc.) and textbooks.
For informal sessions, I don't make lesson plans. Students prepare a topic and focus on conversation. Informal sessions are aimed at intermediate to advanced students, as a certain level of proficiency is required to manage a somewhat fluid conversation.My teaching material

I had another enjoyable lesson with Kiyomi-sensei! We continued reading the dialogue about the belief that a person’s blood type determines his or her personality. Kiyomi-sensei is always a source of encouragement during our lessons!
