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

I teach many students who come from other countries Japanese using Japanese songs.

I have variety private students off line also.

I love my classes with Takako San because we can talk about anything. And this is ;possible because I have learned so much with Takako San as my teacher. Thank you sensei!

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!

A lesson with Takako San is a breath of fresh air. She is unlike any other Japanese teacher that I have lessons with. Nothing like a lesson with Sensei.

Takako sensei is such a kind and engaging teacher. I appreciate her energy and enthusiasm- I bet she could encourage a bear to speak Japanese! I am so grateful to have someone who works so hard to help me to learn and to speak Japanese. Takako sensei really does care that I progress in my Japanese learning journey.
