TOMOKI
翻訳の仕事(法律、行政、ビジネス、医療、観光、芸術、文化)をしているので日本語の細かいニュアンスを伝えることができます。以前はホテルで働いていたので丁寧な日本語も教えることができます。特にフランス語圏の方につきましては間違いやすいポイントを知っていますので初級から上級者の方に対応いたします。 J'enseigne souvent le japonais surtout à mes amis francophones. Je connais donc les points dans lesquels les Francophones ont tendance à se tromper. Comme je travaille en tant que traducteur, je peux transmettre les nuances subtiles du japonais. Je peux aussi enseigner le japonais poli grâce à mon expérience dans l’hôtellerie. I have been teaching Japanese on Italki since August. And since I work as a translator, I can explain the subtle nuances of Japanese. I can also teach polite Japanese thanks to my experience in the hotel business.

Fuka(ふうか)
Taking some time off July 7-20. July calender is open. I’m not big on studying per se. I believe we get good at what we are motivated to do. Language learning is not a simple process, and there are lots of ways to do it. If your focus is conversation and practical use, my lessons would be perfect for you. I do have teacher certification as a Japanese instructor. And I can also help explain passages and patterns in English. I will use conversation starters and textbooks to get you speaking, but your italki time is your time. We will talk about issues and do practical exercises that you are interested in.

🏆Korean Top 1% Teacher 2022🏆can speak Japanese🗾 It's been about 5 year since I taught at Italki. I can use Korean at the level of a native speaker and have daily conversations in English. However, my English is not at a level where I can understand basic Korean grammar or detailed explanations to students, so make sure to check this part before applying for the course! Japanese is a little more free to talk and explain. 저는 아이토키에서 가르친 지 5년 정도 되었습니다.물론, 저는 한국어를 원어민 수준으로 사용할 수 있고 영어로 일상 대화를 할 수 있습니다. 하지만, 저의 영어 실력은 학생에게 기본적인 한국어 문법이나 상세한 설명을 이해할 수 있는 수준이 아니므로, 강좌를 신청하기 전에 이 부분을 꼭 확인하세요! Italkiで今まで約 5年位授業をして来ました. 韓国語は当然ネイティブレベルで駆使し、英語は日常会話が可能です。 ただし、英語の実力は基礎的な韓国語文法や詳しい説明が可能なレベルではないので、授業申し込みの前に必ず確認してください! 日本語ではもうちょっと自由に会話が可能で文法説明も可能です。
