About Me

私はビジネスをリタイヤしてから、日本語教育の勉強をして日本語教師になりました。東京で妻と二人暮らしをしながら、italkiで毎日世界中の人たちに日本語を教えています。レッスンを続けている生徒さんの日本語が上達していく様子を見るのはとてもうれしいです。趣味は鉄道で旅行をすること、クラシック音楽を聴くことなどです（マニアックなファンではありませんが）。最近は生徒さんに教えてもらったアニメやドラマを見ることも楽しいです。
After retiring from business, I studied Japanese language education and became a Japanese language teacher. I live with my wife in Tokyo and teach Japanese to people from all over the world every day at italki. I enjoy seeing the progress of my students' Japanese over the course of my lessons. My hobbies include traveling by train and listening to classical music (although I am not a fanatic fan). Recently, I also enjoy watching anime and dramas that my students have taught me.
私はビジネスをリタイヤした後、何をしようかと考えていたとき、まず思い浮かんだことは、外国語を学んで海外の人たちと交流をするということでした。しかし、逆に、私が日本語を教えることによって、多くの外国の方が日本語を理解し、日本が好きになってくれることのほうが、私のためにも、日本語を学ぶ皆さんのためにも有意義だと考えて、日本語教師になりました。
When I was thinking about what I would do after retiring from business, the first thing that came to mind was to learn a foreign language and interact with people from other countries.
However, I thought that it would be more meaningful for me and for people learning Japanese if I could help many foreigners understand the Japanese language and come to love Japan by teaching it to them.

Yamada-sensei was very patient. He explained the materials carefully and made sure I understood every expression before moving on. His classes are structured in a way that allowed me to digest and internalise the expressions that were being taught. I highly recommend Yamada-sensei for business Japanese.

Yamada Sensei always encourages me to lead the conversation and then helps me to understand and correct what I have produced afterwards. I feel at ease even if I make mistakes and can build confidence little by little.

Yamada sensei is a very kind and patient teacher. If you don't understand something, he will explain it in a simple way. He is also very knowledgeable about a lot of topics so there is always something to talk about. After each lesson he sends a list of points that were difficult or mistakes that were made which is extremely helpful.

Good conversation practice; it was nice not to use Genki for a change!

시범수업으로 프리토킹을 해서 교재 같은것은 생각 하지 않았음. 본격적인 수업에 들어가게되면 체계적인 수업을 요청하겠습니다.
