✅Effective, beginner-friendly lessons with a structured approach! Language learning enthusiast 🌈 Hello! I’m a Japanese teacher based in Japan, with over seven years of experience teaching Japanese and English. Although I was born in Japan, I moved to Peru when I was two and lived there for over 15 years. Growing up in a multilingual environment, I became fluent in Japanese, Spanish, and English. I have also studied several other languages and spent a year as an exchange student in South Korea. As a language learner myself, I understand the challenges of learning a new language. I tailor each lesson to your level and goals, helping you improve your speaking, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, and confidence. Beginners can build a solid foundation step by step, while intermediate and advanced learners can develop fluency through natural conversation. I am also happy to answer questions about Japanese language, culture, history, and daily life in Japan. In my free time, I enjoy reading, studying languages (currently Swedish and Polish), and spending time with my dog. I look forward to learning about your country and culture too! Please note: Beginner and intermediate students should be able to communicate in English or Spanish. I currently accept students aged 18 and above. Lessons canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice cannot be rescheduled. No refunds are provided for missed lessons.

Learn Japanese Through Trends, Culture & Topics That Make You Curious! | Lots of Speaking Practice✨ Hi! I’m Mai from Japan ✨ Some learners find textbook reading passages a little difficult to get interested in. But what if the topics were something like these? ⭐ What happened in a recent collaboration merchandise controversy in Japan? ⭐ Is it true that potato chip packages in Japan turned black and white?! ⭐ Why don’t Japanese people usually take long vacations? And is it true that Japan has many public holidays?! Wouldn’t these topics make you think, “Wait, I want to know more!”? 😲✨ In my lessons, I choose recent news, interesting topics from Japan, and ideas or ways of thinking that are unique to Japanese culture. I create original materials for each lesson and adjust them to the student’s level. Through these topics, you can naturally learn new vocabulary and grammar. At the end of the lesson, we have a discussion so that you can get plenty of speaking practice and share your own opinions. It may sound a little difficult, but don’t worry! I can support you in English when needed. If you have already learned basic grammar, such as adjectives and verbs, you can join from around CEFR A2 level. If you are a complete beginner, I also offer separate grammar lessons, so you can start there with confidence. Outside of language teaching, I love playing musical instruments. I have been playing the drums since I was a student, and I now also teach drums to children! 🥁🎶 I’m looking forward to meeting you and helping you enjoy speaking Japanese! ✨

Personalized class according to your level and needs. All levels are welcome! Let's have fun:) When you learn a new language, I think it’s important to set a goal, be consistent, and make it fun! I have experience interpreting English to Japanese and Japanese to English in Okinawa and the United States, so don’t worry if you don’t speak much Japanese, I’m here to help you understand and will adjust the class to your level. I’m very flexible so we will discuss what you want to focus on and I will plan your lessons accordingly. 新しい言葉を学ぶのに大切なことは、目標を定めること、少しづつ毎日積み重ねること、そして楽しむことだと思います。私は沖縄とアメリカで英語から日本語、日本語から英語の通訳の経験がありますので、あなたが日本語をあまり話せなくても大丈夫です。きちんと理解できるようにお手伝いしますし、あなたのレベルに合わせてレッスンを進めていきます。あなたが学びたいことにあわせて柔軟に対応していきます。

Currently in Taiwan 🗣️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 used to teach preschoolers, age between 3 to 5, in Canada. Having taught in Canadian daycares and kindergartens, I'm happy to offer lessons for children as well as adults. People have told me that my lessons are easy to follow and very friendly. Feel free to reach out anytime!

自学六国语言，四国语言流利 Thank you for taking your time to check my profile You may have noticed that I set my prices a little bit high it is because I don’t want you to book many of my classes Given the current advancements in AI technology,I believe that 99% of traditional language instruction is no longer necessary. Therefore, in my lessons, I only share methods for learning a language.The rest of the effort lies on your shoulder I hope that with the study methods I share,you’ll be able to learn a language enjoyably and efficiently. Thank you, and I look forward to working with you!
