Friendlyでmusicが大好き!カジュアルな会話を楽しみたい人や、関西弁を話したい人も、私のレッスンに来てください:) 私はプロの先生ではありません。 だからこそ、あなたはリラックスして私との会話を楽しんでください! 言語の学習は、とても難しいことです。 私にはその気持ちがよくわかります。私も英語学習者だからです。 たくさん間違えても大丈夫!あなたが自然に話したくなるような楽しいレッスンを、私は目指します。 また、私はあなたの好きなことや、興味のあることを大事にします。 学習において1番大切なことは「好き」という気持ちだと信じているからです。 - I am not a professional teacher. Therefore you should relax and enjoy your conversation with me! Learning a different language can be very difficult. I know how it feels. I am an English learner myself. It's okay if you make a lot of mistakes! I aim to make the lessons so fun that you will naturally want to speak. Also, I will prioritize what you like and what you are interested in. This is because I believe that the most important thing in learning is the feeling of "love."

I will support you with all my might !! I have learned German. I could understand how people feel when they are facing new language, because I had also difficulty studying German. I have some experiences of teaching Japanese in German. I’ll teach you all situations, you need to know, like for business, traveling, chatting with your friends or any romance with your partner. I currently teach Japanese, math, and English to elementary and middle school students at a private tutoring school, so I am also able to teach your children in my italki classes.

【Kids& Adults】Let's speak Japanese Naturally and with Confidence! I work at a cafe of tourist information and meet many people from all over the world every day. I am very happy when they speak easy Japanese like 'Arigato' to me. I am glad that they are interested in our language and culture. That's why I decided to become a Japanese teacher. I was a volunteer tutor for foreign students in Japanese class when I was a university student. I supported their learning process and learned how to teach Japanese along the way. I love teaching very much. I would like to have fun talking in Japanese like friends.

日本語は読めるけど、話すのが苦手な方、日本の小説を日本語で読んでみたい方、面接やプレゼンの練習をしたい方、敬語やビジネス会話を覚えたい方、文章を書く練習をしたい方、お待ちしています。 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.

Let's talk and talk! ◆英語レッスンについて 日本語で、初級~中級の英語学習者のみなさんの、英語学習のお手伝いをします。ネイティブスピーカーと会話して、スピードや音に慣れるのは不可欠ですが、いきなりネイティブと会話しても、文法や基本的なルールの理解が出来ないケースがありますよね。分からないことを分からないと伝えて質問することすら出来ないこともあると思います。まずは母国語でしっかりと知識を定着させることが初学者にとっては大事だと思います。 ◆As for Japanese lesson Basically, my lesson is going to be based on free conversation, then maybe intermediate or advanced Japanese learner would be appreciated. Through the conversation I will show you some new vocabularies, phrases, idioms or even proverbs that are commonly used in our daily conversation. Then you will sound more natural.
