一緒（いっしょ）に楽（たの）しんで日本語（にほんご）を話（はな）しませんか？
いろいろな国（くに）の方々（かたがた）とお話しできるのを楽しみにしています！Me as a Teacher
I’ve been learning a few languages myself, so I totally understand how hard it is to learn a foreign language — and how tough it can be to keep going.
That’s why I’d be really happy if chatting with me helped you feel more motivated to keep learning Japanese!
私自身（わたしじしん）、いろいろな言語（げんご）を勉強（べんきょう）しているため、外国語（がいこくご）の習得（しゅうとく）が大変（たいへん）なことをよく理解（りかい）しています。 そして、学習（がくしゅう）を続（つづ）けることの難（むずか）しさも理解しています。
そんな時（とき）に、私（わたし）と話（はな）すことで、日本語（にほんご）をもっと勉強したい、続けたいという気持（きも）ちになってもらえたら嬉（うれ）しいです！ My lessons & teaching style
I’m planning to have fun and casual free conversation lessons, just like chatting with a friend. At the same time, please feel free to let me know if there’s anything you’d like to do!
私（わたし）は楽（たの）しく、自然（しぜん）で、友達同士（ともだちどうし）のようなフリートーク（ふりーとーく）をするレッスン（れっすん）を考（かんが）えていますが、 何（なに）かリクエスト（りくえすと）がありましたら気軽（きがる）に言（い）ってくださいね！My teaching material

みつお先生 is a very patient and calm person. So I don't feel pressured even when I struggle to form basic sentences or when I make very basic grammar mistakes. He teaches me naturally spoken Japanese that is used in real life which I really appreciate. Because the textbook only teaches us formal Japanese that may or may not be used in real life.

With some other tutors it has sometimes been difficult to fill the time with enough to talk about (that I can say and understand), but with Mitsuo-san the lesson time is over before I know it. Such an inspiration for sticking with this tough language!

I often make mistakes and get stuck. Mitsuo San has come to my rescue. His patient and friendly personality has really helped me to learn new expressions and stay relaxed. Our conversations are genuine, lively and encouraging.

Mitsuo-san explained everything that I didn't understand. We moved easily from one topic to another and talked about all sorts of things. A stimulating lesson !
