★ I update the schedule for the following month around the second Sunday of the previous month (Japan time). こんにちは!内海真紀(うつみ まき)と申します。気仙沼在住の日本語ネイティブスピーカーです。 会話を通じて「使える日本語」を一緒に練習しませんか。文化の話も交えつつ、リラックスした雰囲気で楽しく学べるレッスンを心がけています。英語講師経験と6年間のオンライン国際交流経験を活かし、初心者の方も安心して話せる場を作ります。 趣味は音楽鑑賞、手紙を書くこです。国際交流も大好きです。英語学習者と日本語学習者にために、それぞれスピーキングクラブを主催しています。よろしくお願いします。 - I have teaching experience (English & Japanese) for more than 4 years. I have learned several languages, including English, Indonesian, Sinhala, and Korean. - I've been volunteering online as a language facilitator for more than 6 years and interacting with many people from across the world. - I host a free Japanese Speaking club (Kotoizu Speaking Club) and an English speaking club (Kotohogu Speaking Club). Let's embrace your achievement. Talking in a language that is not your native language is really something! ・会話を通して学んだことを使って、より習得度を高ます。 Through conversations, you'll make your learning stick. ・トピックを決めて、自由に話します。レッスンについては、レッスンの詳細を確認してください。 You'll discuss a topic freely with me. Please check lesson descriptions. ・質問に答えます。 If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. ・使って「学んだ日本語を使う」「自分の日本語が通じる」という経験を一緒にしましょう。 You can invest more time in using Japanese and conveying what you have to say in Japanese.

日本人と話した間、発音についてたくさん疑問がありました。でも、正直いえば、間違いの原因はずっとわかりません。まき先生は簡単な言葉に、その原因を説明しました!さすが先生です!凄い! When talking with Japanese, I had a lot of questions about pronunciation. But to be honest, I don't know the cause of the mistake for a long time. Maki先生 explained the cause in simple words! Great!

I am such a nervous person, and I need someone to just talk to with no expectations to be perfect. I do not get anxious at all with Maki san. I’m also terrible at talking about myself- no problem for her, as she kept the conversation going. I learn so much from her questions and she is incredibly patient. If you are shy and need a conversation partner (you do, trust me)- choose Maki san!

I was able to enjoy another amazing lesson with Maki. I am amazed at how she explains, conveys, and teaches spoken Japanese—as well as formal, casual, and informal expressions—in a relaxed and very easy-to-understand way. I love her lessons.

Makisan!!!!! I could tell you about Makisan for days. She is very compassionate and always smiles. I consider Makisan to be not only a superb instructor but also an educator, a kind person. I have been taking classes with Makisan for a long time, and I don't believe I could learn Japanese from anybody else. Nobody at my university can even come close to Makisan's teaching methodology, which I have in my Japanese studies classes. Everything is made easy and tranquil by her distinctive teaching approach. She also considers linguistic aspects like phonetics, syntax, etc. to be important. All of it will be summed up as "the best teaching experience of my life." In her capacity as a teacher, she sacrifices everything to set things right. Makisan, I'm in astonishment at your patience! and Japanese, everything you teach me makes it much more special for me.🙏 Makiさん、どうもありがとうございました

It's been a while since we talked. Maki san is still very comfortable to talk to. I still made grammar mistakes and have forgotten some japanese words, but she is very careful in her approach to correct me. I also learned some useful words today! I look forward to more kaiwa practice with Maki san.
