I was born and raised in Ibaraki Japan. I like baking, traveling, watching Netflix, and learning Spanish! I currently live in Barcelona Spain.
I have studied English in Arkansas America for a year when I was in high school. I spent the most formative time there. After high school, I went to Melbourne Australia to learn hospitality management at a vocational school for a year.
After my study I’ve worked in hospitality industry for more than 5 years.
Teaching Japanese to people from other countries was one of my dreams and I am glad to make that happen now!
Me as a Teacher
I am a friendly and open person! If you are first time learning Japanese on Italki, you may be nervous at first but I promise I won't be make you nervous. We can talk about each other and if you make mistakes I can correct you:)
My lessons & teaching style
Let's talk in Japanese like everyday conversations. ( Free talks)
If you have any requests, I would like to answer those!
For example, what's written on your Japanese textbook is not always useful for everyday speaking conversations. If you have your own textbook, I can teach you how you can use the phases/ words in casual conversations.
For those who don't have opportunities to use Japanese, I can provide with you the chance to practice your Japanese!
日常会話を中心にしたレッスンを行なっていますが、もしレッスンにリクエストがあれば、お応えすることも可能です。日本語のテキストやわからない単語やフレーズがあれば、日常会話でどのように使えるか教えることもできます。みなさん一人一人に合わせたレッスンを行います。

I was very nervous for my first time using italki, but it went well. I'm still not that great for full conversations but Mana was very patient with me and wrote notes for me in the chat. It was a little nerve racking because I didn't know what to expect but she eased my mind on trying italki more! Thank you Mana! :)

Mana-san was very kind and patient with me. She quickly adjusted to my speaking level and was able to help guide the conversation to help me keep practicing. Looking forward to future lessons!

Mana-san is so fun to talk to and very good at keeping up conversation. My goal is to get better at conversational Japanese and she was encouraging and helpful at getting me to speak in Japanese. She wrote down all the words/phrases I had trouble with in our chat and also gave me tips/advice on how else I can practice on my own. Looking forward to another session! ☺️
