Taka it Easy
I’ll help turn your worries about learning a language into fun and confidence. Do you enjoy chatting? If so, you’ll quickly improve your Japanese and be a great fit for lessons with me. But even if you get nervous and find speaking difficult, that’s absolutely no problem. Over many years in the fashion industry, I’ve listened to customers of all ages, and I want to hear your stories and have you talk a lot during our lessons. The goal of our lessons isn’t just to speak well with me. The most important thing is to enjoy conversations with **other Japanese people**, right? That’s what I’m here to fully support you with. Also, I’d love to teach you some of the “ways of speaking that make people like you” that I learned through my customer service experience.

TAKA (GIAPPOLIA TV)
I have had the opportunity to talk with people from many different countries, and each time I have taught them a little about Japanese culture and the language, I have a desire to explain my country to people from more countries. The most important thing when I learned a foreign language was to increase the opportunities to use that language. No matter how much you study, if you don't use it often, you'll spend a lot of time learning it. For the above reasons, I decided that it is important to focus on conversation-centered free-talk in my lessons, first of all, to create many opportunities for you to talk about topics you like, so that you can get used to speaking.

Language isn’t just a skill — it’s a tool to share your heart🇯🇵 For me, it is important that you study actively. Learning a new language takes time and steady effort. The more exposure you have, the faster your skills will improve. Anything you do in Japanese counts as study—reading manga, watching anime, listening to music, and more. If you want, I can also give you homework tailored to your goals. I look forward to getting to know you ^_^
