RYOTA
Absolute beginners are WELCOME ! Certified Japanese teacher with Over 2,000 online Lesson I'm certified Japanese teacher and I have been teaching Japanese since 2009 on italki. I always enjoy teaching and seeing my students improve their Japanese. I am a teacher but I have been studying English and Spanish so I fully understand the difficulty to learn other languages. As I have lived in Tokyo for about 10 years I speak standard Japanese other than Kansai dialect ( 関西弁). I also speak English and Spanish other than Japanese. So don't worry if you have trouble understanding Japanese I can also explain in English as well.

Giorgia B.
I have never liked boring lessons and I like dynamism, so I would define myself a teacher who likes that students can learn having fun and with joy. At the same time, I adore grammar and I think it is very important to study and internalize it in order to speak well a foreign language. Finally, during my classes I like to speak a little bit about culture of the language we are studying and to do some language structure’s comparisons which are very interesting to understand how languages work (a little bit of linguistics help).

【アナウンサーの発音指導:pronunciation】ネイティブレベルのアクセントとイントネーションを目指そう!【上級者歓迎】 私が先生として大切にしているのは以下の3つです。 ①役に立つルールを教えること ②生徒に合ったレッスン内容を考えること ③生徒の気持ちに寄り添うこと ①について、 私のレッスンを受けることで日本語のルール・法則を知ることができます。文法だけでなく、アクセントやイントネーションの法則も一緒に考えていきましょう。「国際」と「空港」の発音(アクセント)はわかりますよね?では、「国際空港」はどんな発音になるでしょうか?ちゃんとルールがあるのです! ②について、 生徒一人ひとりの目標や要望を聞いて、その人に合ったレッスンを提案します。そのため、同じコースを受けている人でも、レッスンの内容は異なります。あなたの興味を教えてくれたら、楽しく勉強できる方法を提案します。たとえば、読書が好きな人は小説を使って練習をすることができます。日本の文化に興味がある人はアニメやゲームの台詞を使って勉強しましょう。目標と好きなことを教えてくださいね。 ③について、 私は「理性」と「感情」の両方が大事だと考えています。「理性」とは、正しい日本語を理解する力のことです。「感情」は、「楽しい」とか「面白い」と思う気持ちのことです。私は生徒さんの理性と感情、両方を満たせるように教えています。最初のレッスンは緊張すると思いますが、優しく話を聞きます。安心して私のレッスンを受けてくださいね!

I believe in the importance of output and repeated practice. So, in my class, I encourage you to relax and speak much, while to master the stuff you’ve learned by repetition and frequent review. 刚开始当老师,我应该适合当你的日语会话练习伙伴。对于日语语法针对外国学习者的,我在天天学习。已经学过的,我会随机分享给你的 我相信练习和复习很重要。所以在我的课程中,我会一边鼓励你轻松随便多多讲,同时也会鼓励你重复练习,又复习学过的。这样知识会根深蒂固吧 あたらしいせんせいのわたしは、かいわのれんしゅうの あいてに よいとおもいます。がいこくじんむけの ぶんぽうも まいにち べんきょうしています たくさん はなすことが たいせつです。リラックスし わたしとたのしく たくさん はなしましょう。
