I’m Japanese where I lived my youth then I moved to Brazil. Moving from one country to another help me to understand the importance of learning new languages. To acquire a new language takes time and effort but the payback is huge. The opportunities and adventures are endless. It is said that if you learn a new language you get a new soul, I think that a new language opens new windows to the world. My hobbies are clay craft (game characters, anime characters), sewing, watching anime, games, and eating sweets. 日本(にほん)で 生まれ育ち(うまれそだち)、母国語(ぼこくご)は 日本語(にほんご)です。 ブラジルに 8年間(ねんかん)住(す)んだ ので、ポルトガル語(ご)が 話(はな)せます。 趣味(しゅみ)は、アニメ や ゲーム の キャラクター の 粘土細工(ねんどざいく)、裁縫(さいほう)、ゲーム や アニメ と 甘い物(あまいもの)を 食(た)べることです。 To learn a new language should be a lot of fun, a source of joy and good time, however many people try and get frustrated. We all can learn as many languages as we want, but we should learn in natural way, like any child learns his mother tongue. As adults we frequently try to learn a new language in ways that are just not conductive. Dry repetition and memorization don’t help. A language is much more than words, a new language is like a new life. Japanese is a fascinating language of a fascinating country. I love to teach Japanese and about our food, our order and good manners, the anime and manga and many other fantastic oddities that exist only in Japan.

Vou escrever este comentário para os brasileiros e falantes de português que estão em dúvida sobre qual professor de japonês escolher, porque eu mesma já tive essa dúvida muito tempo atrás e a deixei como última opção. Yumi-san se adequa aos interesses do aluno com a língua japonesa, usa o máximo possível de japonês nas aulas, tem uma pontualidade absurda e está sempre com um sorriso contagiante no rosto, até mesmo quando é mordida por um cachorro ou falando de suas espinhas. É um ser que brilha e, sem dúvidas, uma das melhores professoras que já tive no Italki, dentre vários de cinco idiomas e de várias nacionalidades. Tanto é que estou finalmente terminando o Minna no Nihongo Shokyu II, depois de ter enrolado por mais de quatro anos.
