Come to my lesson and try to speak Japanese! Don't worry if you make a mistake! I will support you! I am often described by my students as a very easy to talk to teacher. I have had a lot of students take my classes. I have had many students take my classes, and they often say that I am easy to talk to. I myself am interested in new things, different people's ways of thinking, different things, and different cultures, so I love to listen to what people have to say. So, if you are not good at speaking and want to become good at it, I think a teacher like me is right for you.

Please check out Udemy's English course Amber & Nikki's English conversations and test prep! Motivating language students online can be a difficult task since you don't get to meet them in person. In general, I don't believe it's effective to assign numerous grammar lessons. My lesson plan for the beginner to intermediate learners focuses on conversational Japanese, practicing repetition of sentences describing their daily lives in present or past tenses. This would build their vocabulary and grammatical skills in the process. Through my lessons, students have demonstrated to be more fluent and motivated.

Enjoy speaking Japanese! Japanese is FUN!! (See Youtube @chiekoosugi233) I've got many years of experience. My first experience was in the Philippines. I was a volunteer sent by the Japanese government and taught at the Foreign Service Institute of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. My students at that time were all adults mainly government officials. After that I went to New Zealand to continue teaching Japanese at a university and also secondary schools. Upon returning to Japan, I taught English to the young Japanese volunteers who were going out to some developing countries for their tasks. Aside from the many years of teaching experiences, my knowledge of multiple languages helps understand the students' psychology and I can help them effectively.

A time to reduce anxiety about speaking Japanese and build confidence. ベトナムの日本語学校とオンラインで日本語を教えたことがあります。 また、私も言語学習のためにオンラインレッスンを利用します。学習した単語を自然に使えなかったり、忘れたりして、レッスンでうまく話せなかった経験が何度もあります。 これらの経験を活かして、日本語を話すことへの不安を感じさせない雰囲気を作り、自信を持って話せるようにサポートします。 *日本語教育能力検定試験合格 I have experience teaching Japanese at a Japanese language school in Vietnam and online. I also take online lessons to learn languages. I have often experienced not being able to speak well in lessons because I couldn’t naturally use the words I had learned or I forgot them. I will make the most of these experiences to create a comfortable environment for speaking Japanese, and support you as much as possible so you can speak confidently without anxiety. *Passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency
