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!!

Me as a Teacher

I have taught a lot of language and pronunciation lessons for beginning students, pageant contestants, and all sorts of other students, both as a professional commentator and as a speaking trainer. With my experience, I'm confident I can teach you to explain your opinions to someone, how to use improve your pronunciation, and how to speak Japanese more fluently. 私はアナウンサーとして、スピーキングトレーナーとして、初心者の方や、コンテスタントなどへ沢山のトレーニング経験があります。どのように自分の意見を伝えるか、スムーズに話すにはどうしたらいいか。私は間違いなくたくさんの素晴らしい経験と日本語のスキルをあなたに伝えることができるでしょう。

I would not be where I am today with my Japanese without the help and patience of Sachiko San. She has been with me since I started my journey on Italki nearly 6 years ago.
