みなさんこんにちは、あいです！日本の川崎出身で、現在は韓国に住んでいます。これまでにクロアチア、日本、オーストラリアで生活・仕事をしてきました。
ジブリ映画や古めのJ-popが大好きで、いろんな国の音楽を聴いたり、映画や米英韓国ドラマもよく観ます。営業、シェフ、ソフトウェア開発講師、ブログサイト運営など、さまざまな分野での経験があり、幅広いトピックについて自然に会話をサポートできます。
生徒さんがリラックスして、たくさん、そして深く話せるレッスンを心がけています😊
Hi, I’m Ai! I’m currently living in South Korea, and I’ve also lived and worked in Croatia, Japan, and Australia.
I love Ghibli movies and Korean dramas. I enjoy listening to music from all over the world, but I especially like Bon Jovi and J-pop oldies from the 80s and 90s. I always end up singing Livin’ On A Prayer at karaoke 🎤😆
In my lessons, I create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere where you can speak a lot and also explore topics more deeply.Me as a Teacher
私のレッスンでは、「自然に話すこと」と「無理なく続けられること」を大切にしています🌱 最近、italkiでのレッスンを再スタートしました😊
間違いを気にしすぎず、安心して話せる環境の中で、少しずつ自分の言葉を増やしていくことをサポートします。
ただ話すだけではなく、レッスンの中で出てきた単語や表現を一緒に整理することで、「話して終わり」ではなく、次につながる学びを大切にしています。
-------------------
In my lessons, I focus on helping you speak naturally in a relaxed and comfortable environment🌱 I’ve recently returned to italki and am excited to meet new students again 😊
You don’t need to worry too much about mistakes. I will support you in building your own expressions step by step.
Instead of just having a conversation, we also organize useful words and expressions from the lesson, so your learning continues beyond the conversation. My lessons & teaching style
60分レッスンは以下の流れで進めます：
・40〜45分：会話（自然な日本語でのやりとり）
・10〜15分：語彙・表現のレビュー
会話の中で出てきた単語や表現を一緒にまとめ、最後に振り返ります。必要に応じて、簡単な例文を一緒に作ることもあります。レッスンを重ねるごとに、あなただけの語彙リストが少しずつ積み上がっていくので、成長を感じやすいです🪴
トピックは自由です。ご自身で用意していただいても大丈夫ですし、特に決まっていない場合は私がリードします😊
---------
60 min Lesson flow:
• 40–45 min conversation
• 10–15 min review (vocabulary & expressions)
While we talk, I will collect useful words and expressions in a shared document. At the end of the lesson, we review them together, and sometimes create simple example sentences. As you take more lessons, your personalized vocabulary list will grow, helping you feel your progress step 🪴
You can bring your own topic, or I can guide the conversation if needed 😊My teaching material

During this lesson, the teacher helped me with improving my vocabulary and we discussed how the year has been! It was a very encouraging and comfortable atmosphere to practice conversing in Japanese and sharing updates about recent activities.

My conversation classes with Ai 先生 are always really fun and interesting. We talk about a variety of useful, daily topics that help me become more fluent in speaking. She continues to keep track of new vocabulary in a shared google sheets. I now have near 400 new vocabulary I have learned with her.

Lessons with Ai-san are always so much fun! We always end up talking about things I would never imagine we would talk about. I really believe that she can get along with any person. Thank you Ai-san!

During this lesson, I practiced describing events occurring in a film and the themes related to it. The teacher was super helpful and patient as she guided me with the accurate vocabulary and expressions! I look forward to having another lesson with the teacher soon in the future :)
