I started my toki pona journey in 2019. Since then, I have spent much time teaching in both formal settings like university guest lectures, and in informal settings like Facebook. I organize toki pona writing competitions, moderate community spaces, and meet up as much as I can with other speakers.Me as a Teacher
When I first started, I knew nothing about linguistics and language-learning and all the jargon scared me. Now I know a lot of jargon and can use it if you're into that. But if you're not into that, no worries!
"toki pona" means good communication. I prioritize learning about your expectations and targets, and I prioritize tailoring accordingly.
Se placxus al vi, mi povas instruii uzante miajn acxajn Esperantkapablojn. Enirante la tokiponan komunumon, oni nepre iam igxus interesigxanta pri la internacia lingvo de Zamenhof. La kreintino de tokipono ja estas Esperantistino. Nun mi ne kutime parolas gxin, sed laux via konsento, povus esti amuza babili iomete!My lessons & teaching style
Goal-focused and adaptable, these are some of my favourite methods:
- Cross-talk sessions (where I speak toki pona and you speak another language so you can start training your listening skills without knowing the language)
- Conversational practice with comprehensible input, making use of images or items.
- Translation practice (where we form and talk through example sentences together.)
We can also walk through a course together, or just chat about resources may be helpful to you!
NOTE: I recently increased my rate from 5 to 6 dollars. If you face a financial barrier, PLEASE let me know and I will edit it back to 5 dollars for you when you send a lesson request.5.0

Amazing class as always, I enjoy the discussion of language learning and of course the Toki Pona input which is always delivered very creatively and on point by Jan Lakuse :)
