Osaka-BOY, travel-loving tutor｜Learn natural Japanese through relaxed conversation こんにちは、Keiです。 教科書で学んだ日本語を「実際の会話で使える日本語」へつなげる、自然な会話中心のレッスンをしています。 私はスカイダイビングのインストラクターとゲストハウスのホストとして、さまざまな国の方と接してきました。その経験を生かし、一人ひとりのレベルや目的に合わせて、落ち着いて分かりやすく進めます。必要なときは、英語やホワイトボードも使います。 レッスン中は、間違いを気にしすぎず、できるだけたくさん日本語を話してください。会話の流れを止めすぎないように、役立つ表現や発音のポイントはこちらで記録します。 対象となるレッスンでは、事前に同意をいただいた場合に限り、録音と文字起こしを復習に活用できます。このオプションを利用した場合は、レッスン後に、改善点、自然な表現、発音を確認できる分・秒付きの短いメッセージをお送りします。 つまり、レッスン中は会話に集中し、終了後に大切なポイントを具体的に振り返る流れです。 日本語をもっと自然に話したい方、勉強した表現を実際に使いたい方、発音やイントネーションを改善したい方におすすめです。 間違いは失敗ではなく、次に進むための通過点です。日本語で話すことを楽しみながら、一歩ずつ上達していきましょう！

I have been teaching Chinese and Japanese for almost five years. I will do my best to help you with your Chinese or Japanese. If you are interested in Chinese or Japanese culture, then we can talk more about that in our lessons, If you want to practice speaking then I will make some good dialogues for you that fit your levels and needs. To learn a new language you need to be patient with yourself and take time to learn step by step. A good language teacher could help you keep learning and I hope I could be that one.

Natural Japanese & Supportive Lessons 🌿 Speak Japanese with Confidence! Hello! I'm Yuka. I was born in Osaka and now live in Nagano, surrounded by mountains. I lived in the U.S. for 3 years to study dance and English and am currently learning German, so I understand how challenging it can be to learn a new language. Even if you understand the grammar and vocabulary, speaking can still be difficult. That’s why in my lessons, we practice speaking a lot. I create a comfortable place where you can feel safe, make mistakes, and express yourself. I worked as a Pilates instructor for 10 years in Tokyo, teaching many international clients. I also worked as a web writer for 6 years and as a local guide in Kobe. My lessons are a great fit if you: • Are a beginner and want step-by-step guidance • Have studied Japanese but still struggle to speak • Want to become more confident expressing yourself in Japanese • Want to use Japanese in real-life conversations What I offer: 🔰 Beginner Japanese with Genki • Build a strong foundation with Genki 1 & 2 • Learn grammar and vocabulary, then use them right away • Practice speaking with what you learn • Free conversation practice 💬 Conversation Practice • Talk about topics that interest you • Learn natural expressions and word choices My lessons are tailored to your level, goals, and needs. English and German support is also available. Don’t worry about making mistakes! I’ll gently correct you and help you find the expressions you want to use. Let’s enjoy Japanese and speak confidently!

专门教小孩学日语 我会按照学生的年龄和性格，每个孩子的能力调整学习的内容和教材。为了小朋友开心学习，我自己准备了使用很多图片的教材。 可以从平假名开始学习，也可以先学习简单的单词，寒暄语等等。也可以帮助住在日本的小朋友适应学校生活。需要的话可以帮助学生看学校的作业。 我会用日语教学，不过学生需要的时候会说中文解释。 上课之前我会发给家长教材的一部分，先一起商量一下学什么内容。（我会中文可以与家长交流） 🌟"约课之前"一定先给我发信息商量一下。 🌟一节课25分钟 ➡请选30分钟课程。两节课50分钟 ➡请选45分钟课程。不用选60分钟课程。 🌟约课的时候请约整点（例如...要选13:00,13:30开始，不要选13:15,13:45开始） それぞれの年齢や性格、能力に合わせて学ぶ内容、教材を調整します。子供たちが楽しく学べるように、挿絵中心とした教材を独自で準備しています。 ひらがな学習から始めることもできますし、簡単な単語を学んで自然な会話練習をすることもできます。日本で生活している子供たちが、学校生活に馴染めるようなサポートもできます。必要であれば、学校の宿題のお手伝いも可能です。 レッスンの際は日本語で行いますが、必要な部分があれば中国語で説明できます。 レッスンの前に教材のサンプルを送りますので、何を勉強するか事前に話し合いましょう。（中国語でのコミュニケーションができます） 🌟"予約の前"に必ずメールでご連絡ください。

みなさん、こんにちは！ わたしの名前は、まさよ、です。 日本で生まれ、日本で育ちました。東京都の出身です。 日本の、ヒロシマ、おおさか、ナゴヤ、など、ほかの都市でも生活しました。 同じ日本語でも、その土地によって発音や単語の違いがあり、そのオモシロサも経験しました。 最近までトルコに8年間住んでいました。 トルコの優しい人々、美味しい料理、古い歴史が大好きです。 Merhabalar! İsmim Masayo, ben Japonum. Tokyo’da büyüdüm. Fakat Japonya’da Hiroshima, Osaka, Nagoya gibi başka şehirinde de yaşadım. Türkiye’de 8 yıldır yaşadım Türk insan çok nazik. Yemekleri çok lezzetli. Güzel tarihi var. Bunları çok seviyorum. わたしも外国に住んでいましたので、外国語を話すことのむずかしさを理解しています。 同時に、話せる時の楽しさも実感しています。 その土地の人々と会話し、文化にふれることは、その土地の言葉を好きになり、じょうずに話せるようになる上で役立ってきました。 それで、外国語の上達には、ネイティブスピーカーと会話することがとても大切だと考えています。 私は英語をあまり話せません。おもに日本語で会話してゆきます。 Ben de başka ülkede yaşadım. Bu yüzden yabancı dil öğrenmenin ne kadar zor olduğunu aynı zamanda ne kadar güzel olduğunu da öğrendim. Türk insanlarla konuşarak, güzel yemekleri tadarak,ayrıca eski tarihli inceleyerek Türkçeyi öğrendim. Bunlar Türkçemin gelişmesine çok etkiledi. Japonca öğrendiğinizde birlikte sohbet etmek size çok yarar sağlar. Maalesef İngilizcem çok zayıf. normalde Japonca ile sohbet edelim. わたしのレッスンは主にフリートークですが、せいかくな発音や、声をだして文を読んだり、文をつくったりするお手伝いができます。みなさんの好きなこと、経験したこと、知りたいことなど、なんでもわたしに教えてくださいね。ゆっくりで大丈夫です。いっしょに会話しながら楽しく日本語をまなんでいきましょう！ Benim derslerim serbest konuşma üzerindedir. Ama doğru telaffuz söylemenize, sesli okumanıza ve cümle kurmanıza yardımcı olabilirim. Sevdiğiniz, yaşadığınız ya da öğrenmek istediğiniz şeyleri bana anlatabilirsiniz. Birlikte sohbet ederek Japonca öğrenelim!

Not a teacher, but your ally :) Let's learn Japanese your way. Hi, I'm Midori! I've been teaching Japanese online since 2020 and have worked with more than 1,000 learners from all over the world. One thing I've learned over the years is that every student is different. Some people love grammar. Some want to improve their pronunciation. Some want structured lessons with homework. Others just want a comfortable place where they can practice speaking Japanese without feeling nervous. That's why I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I try to adjust my lessons to each student's goals, personality, and learning style. My lessons are usually relaxed, interactive, and conversation-focused. Making mistakes is completely okay here. In fact, mistakes are often the fastest way to improve. I enjoy meeting people from different countries and backgrounds, and I love hearing about my students' jobs, hobbies, cultures, and life experiences. So whether you want to study with a textbook, prepare for work or university, improve your conversation skills, or simply enjoy speaking Japanese, I'd be happy to support your journey. Let's learn Japanese together—at your pace, in your own way :)

✈️ Travel Japanese | 🌱 Beginners | 🎈 Kids Welcome | 💼 Business Japanese Practical, friendly Japanese for real-life communication— online and in real workplaces in Japan. I've lived abroad for almost 20 years, in Australia, India, and Myanmar, so I know what it feels like to be lost in a language you don't understand yet. That's where my passion for teaching began — teaching Japanese online to children in Myanmar during the pandemic, and seeing how language can be a lifeline, not just a skill. 📌 What makes my lessons different: I don't just teach "textbook Japanese." I teach the Japanese you'll actually use — at a restaurant, on a train, at the shop, or on your first day at a Japanese workplace. I call this "Real-Life Japanese." I've taught students everything from travel basics to everyday conversation — always practical, real-world Japanese you can use right away. 🗣️ I can explain grammar and nuance in English or Spanish, so even complete beginners never feel lost. I'll match your pace and comfort level. Whether you want to: ✈️ Travel around Japan with confidence 🚀 Start Japanese from zero 💼 Prepare for work or business in Japan — keigo, business etiquette, and workplace communication (proven experience teaching N3-level professionals) 💬 Have real, natural conversations ...I'll build lessons that get you there.
