Hi Everyone!
My name is Hiroka, I was born and raised in Tokyo Japan.
Now I live in Yokohama with my husband and cat.
If I had to choose I would say I'm an indoor person. I like cooking and watching TV shows at home, but
sometimes I like to walk unknown neighbourhoods and discovering new things, meeting new people, delicious food and more. There are a lot of fun things to do!
I also love talking about countries and cultures with people from around the world.
Everyday I am learning how to create fun classes.
大家好！我叫滉香。
我的出身地是在日本东京，现在住在横滨 。我10年前在北京呆过5年。
我很喜欢看国外的电视剧、动画片、玩游戏，还喜欢跟外国人交流！Me as a Teacher
The first time I taught Japanese was in university, and I had a lot of fun teaching Japanese at that time!
So, I decided to continue teaching.
I usually teach beginners to advanced learners in language schools and some companies.
When teaching, I strive to build a friendly atmosphere and good relationship with my students, no matter their level. Don't be afraid of making any mistakes, because that is what learning is all about!
我教日语从0基础到高级水平。
我是个很耐心的老师，所以大家不用紧张不用担心，通过学习日语我们一起度过愉快的时间～！My lessons & teaching style
I can hold lessons for conversation, make conversation using newly learnt grammar, and also hold lessons preparing you for JLPT.
People interested in Japan's culture, manga, anime or people who someday wants to travel to Japan are all very welcome to join my lessons!
I can teach Japanese using English and Chinese. Usually I teach only using Japanese, but don't hesitate to communicate in English or Chinese if you are unsure about something.
口语课选一个话题练习对话。说错也没关系多说日语！
语法课先学今天的语法，然后做练习题、最后用新学的语法造句会话等等。
我很欢迎对日本动画、漫画、文化、还有对日本旅游有兴趣的人参加！
上课时用中文或英文都可以，如果有什么问题随时都可以问我。My teaching material

ひろかさんは優しい人です！二つ目レッスンも楽しかった！Hiroka-san is so lovely to talk with. My second conversation lesson was very fun, interesting, and I came away with some very useful phrases about topics that I frequently talk about :) Thank you! See you next time! またね！

Hiroka is such a sweet person. I was always trying to challenge myself to talk with another native speaker who's English is not as high. I eventually got by to talk with a native speaker like her and she made me very comfortable to talk to me gently and provided a little feedback. I still like to improve my Japanese, so I could speak it fluently.
