Japanese man who teaches you to speak natural everyday Japanese. Hey guys! My name is Kosuke. I was born in Japan and now I live in New Zealand. My passion is surfing and my hobby is travelling around NZ in my camper van. I am excited to help you learn Japanese and to become part of your language-learning journey. Let's have fun learning together! こんにちは。僕はこうすけです。今はニュージーランドに住んでいて大好きなサーフィン を毎日しています。 皆さんと楽しく一緒にお話しできることを楽しみにしています。 My motto is to make sure my students have FUN while studying with me. I provide a space for my students to practice real-world Japanese. I know from personal experience that the language used in a textbook is COMPLETELY different to the language used in real life. I’m here to teach you natural-sounding Japanese that is sure to be helpful, whether speaking to friends, travelling Japan, or just watching anime! 僕のモットーは楽しみながら学習することです。僕のクラスではテキストブックで習う日本語よりももっと日常の会話や、日本への旅行の時、友達と話すときに使える自然な日本語を教えます。 恥ずかしがらず楽しい会話をしながら日本語を学びましょう! When learning Japanese, it’s important to put the things you learn to the test in a real-life scenario. That’s why in my classes, I give you the opportunity to talk about a topic of your choice in a natural conversational environment. Feel free to ask any questions you might have and I will correct any unnatural-sounding Japanese as we go. I’ll do my best to gauge an understanding of where your Japanese is at and center each class around areas of difficulty. By working on areas you find tricky, your Japanese is sure to improve! 僕は言語はインプット回数よりもアウトプットする回数の方が大事だと考えています。クラスの中ではフリートークをしながらみなさんが気...

Kosuke is a great conversation partner! He's very good at speaking at a level that you can understand and giving constructive feedback on your own speaking. He's also super chill to talk to!

After more than a year of doing lessons with Kosuke, I really feel like I'm not just talking to a skilled teacher, but a good friend. With a wealth of life experience, a winning personality, and a truly caring disposition, he consistently delivers a high class Japanese learning experience. The truth is, the lessons never feel like I'm "just learning Japanese". They feel like the act of getting to know someone is facilitating the natural acquisition of a language, and honestly, it's incredibly effective. I really can't recommend this dude enough. Working with Kosuke will improve your Japanese, and not just because he's a great teacher - the fundamental desire to be able to express yourself to a friend is a deeply powerful motivator. There's a reason I've stuck around for this long!
