Certified teacher and translator - Become fluent through fun and interactive lessons! I am a native Japanese teacher living in Germany. I've also lived in the UK and France, and enjoy discovering foreign cultures, while still appreciating Japanese traditions such as tea ceremony and calligraphy. Teaching on italki since 2019, I enjoy sharing my love for languages and accompanying my students on their journey. Some students started with me back then and are still learning with me today, progressing from complete beginner to fluency over the years, and it has been a pleasure to witness their development. Language learning is a long (but rewarding!) process that can be hard to navigate on your own. I guide you based on both my teaching experience and my own experience of learning languages quite different from my own. Certified in 2005, I adapt my approach to each student, combining precise bilingual instruction and comprehensible input. I aim to create a safe environment where you can feel comfortable speaking and making mistakes. Beginners can start from the basics, with my original materials designed to make learning engaging. From intermediate level, we shift focus to application through conversation and activities, to address gaps and strengthen your grammar and vocabulary. You will also develop an understanding of real-life Japanese, society, and culture, so you can express yourself with confidence and feel like yourself in the language. ☆Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching Japanese as a Foreign Language (IIEL) ☆English (C2), French (DALF C1)

US based hours temporarily until Oct 2 🗣️Speak from day one - beginners welcome 💛 Practical Japanese Hi! I am Fuka. I love traveling and meeting new people, trying new things and learning about different cultures. I always wanted to see the world for as long as I can remember. That was my motivation to learn English. Not to study it, but to USE it. So even though I didn’t get to study English or travel outside of Japan as a child, I loved watching movies and TV shows in English and dreamed of adventuring around the world on my own, using English to make it possible. Now I am a teacher here on italki and also a digital nomad for the past few years. I enjoy both being outdoors and a couch potato, talking with people, taking photos, chasing sunsets, surfing and feeding random cats. 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.

I have taught children as young as five years old. For children, I use puppets and power point slides to learn words and grammar together. Conversation lessons are fun tool for the Japanese learners to talk about their favorite things, recent news, or about their family and friends.
