今年の夏は高野山(こうやさん)へ旅行しました。宿坊(しょくぼう)というお寺に泊まって、精進料理(しょうじんりょうり)を食べ巻いた。 私はゆっくり、はっきり話します。日本語を勉強している人ががよくまちがえるところを知っていて、アドバイスしたり、まちがえを直したりできます。文法、作文、漢字、発音、JLPTの勉強も手伝うことができます。italkiでは、会話をたくさんしましょう。あなたのことやあなたの考えを話してください。私にいろいろ質問してください。会話をしながら、新しい言葉や表現を勉強しましょう。 I'm used to talking to people who are just beginning to study Japanese. I know what mistakes they often make and what they don't understand. I speak slowly and clearly. I'm very patient. I also can teach grammar, composition, pronunciation, kanji, JLPT and so on. But on italki, I'd like to enjoy the conversation. Tell me about you and your interests. I believe you will learn many new words and many new expression through it .

🗣️ Speak from day one – beginners welcome 💛 Practical Japanese 🗼 Trip preparation 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.

Let's have a fun conversation, beginners to advanced learners welcome!! 私は、言語というのは、コミュニケーションの道具だと考えています。たとえ教科書で学んだとしても、それを実際に使う機会がなければ、それは全く無意味です。 正しい文法を習得し、それを使うことは重要です。しかし、相手の話すことを理解し、自分の考えを伝えられなければ、会話は成り立ちません。 私の授業は、言語を良いツールとして使いこなし、慣れ親しんでいただけるように、自然な会話から始めます。 I think that language is simply a tool used in communication. It's meaningless if you learn a language, but don't know how to use it. Of course, it’s important to learn correct grammar and usage, but if you can’t understand and convey your opinion, you won't be able to have meaningful conversations. I consider language to be a tool, and in our class, I want to teach you how to use that tool effectively. That's why our classes always start from natural conversation.

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.
