Hello! I am Akina, a nature lover. I like cooking, travelling, hiking, practicing Yoga, Astrology and talking with people. Currently, I am studying Herbal Medicine at a Canadian college but I used to study International Relations. I have experience living in Latin American countries for one year. My favorite anime is ONE PIECE.

I describe myself as a "cultural interpreter". From my personal experiences of learning English and Spanish also doing a tour guide, I can teach you not only Japanese grammar and phrases but also how Japanese people see and perceive the world and how you can interact with them.
私は「文化の翻訳者（ぶんかのほんやくしゃ）」です。私が英語（えいご）とスペイン語（スペインご）を勉強（べんきょう）して、ツアーガイドとして働いた経験（けいけん）から、日本語の文法（ぶんぽう）と単語（たんご）だけではなく、日本人の考え方やどうやって日本人とコミュニケーションを取ればいいのかについて教えます。My lessons & teaching style
My lesson style is very flexible. I adjust my lessons according to student's level and needs. Grammar lesson using Genki, GLPT preparation, Keigo conversation practice, Job-hunting interview practice, Kansai-ben, etc. I use google document for my lesson to explain grammar and to correct your Japanese.

I really enjoy my lessons with Akina-sensei. She is very friendly and easy to talk to casually, while still being very thorough when correcting mistakes and teaching new vocab and grammar.
Looking forward to the next one :)
あきな先生、レッスンはとても楽しいです！またまた来週！

明奈さんは明るくて、授業も面白かったです。I enjoyed the role-play exercises to learn how to handle practical situations and received on-the-spot correction of misused words. It's a useful lesson to brush up on my Japanese speaking.

Akina-san was really fun to talk to and the conversation felt natural and casual. She also used a lot of natural phrases and taught things you can't really learn from a textbook, which was helpful. Of course, she also provides formal Japanese classes too! Additionally, Akina-san was also very knowledgeable and gave some very useful travel tips during the lesson. This was a very refreshing iTalki experience and I look forward to our next lesson. I highly recommend Akina-san as a teacher.

I really enjoyed talking to Akina. We did self introductions and discussed various topics. Akina was easy to talk to and noted down new vocabulary and recommendations in a shared document.
