Hello, everyone! I'm Sachi. I'm a native Japanese speaker who was born and raised in Saitama prefecture. When I turned 18, I moved to Nagano prefecture, where I went to college. I worked for HONDA motor company for 2 years. Then I started my career as a sports commentator & a speaking strategist. Since I have a lot of professional speaking experience, I can give you a lot of specific tips on Japanese pronunciation, such as how to position your tongue properly when you speak Japanese. As for many hobbies, I love traveling overseas, and during my free time, I like to go on walks and watch sports. Let's enjoy studying with me!!

I loved to talk with Sachiko san! I can speak Japanese without pressure, because Sachiko san always listening to me patiently. She correct my pronunciation after we finished one topic, that makes me feel comfortable to speak Japanese because I can learn the right pronunciation to present my feelings and thoughts once again by using the more natural way.
