About Me
italki teacher since Apr 8, 2020InterestsMusicTravelWriting
Hello everyone, my name is Takako. I am a cheerful and energetic Japanese person living in Japan
I am a singer and a voice and singing instructor in Japan. I love to sing, teach, and learn! I also love nature, animals, and humans.
On Italki, I take many lessons as a student in English, French, Portuguese, and more. I have learned not only a lot of knowledge from my teachers but also their passion for teaching.
If you are studying Japanese, I know it can be difficult and frustrating when you cannot express what you want to say at first. But please give it time. I want to motivate you to keep trying, and if you don't have any Japanese friends, I can be your friend！Thank you 💓Me as a Teacher

Thank you again for the overtime and enthusiasm during the class. I was able to notice that I was singing in the key that was too low, which was a very nice discovery. Now it sounds much better!

We had a really fun lesson! We talked about a podcast we had both listened to. Then Sensei encouraged me to think about how I would talk about this topic from the perspective of my own country. I got to try talking about challenging topics such as the history of my country. I appreciate how Sensei is helping me strengthen my listening and speaking skills, and teaching me great expressions and vocabulary words so I can express myself more precisely. Thank you as always!
