Friendly Native Japanese in Japan 🇯🇵 | Natural Conversation & Real-Life Japanese 🇯🇵 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. Everyone has their own most effective way to learn, and I know I’m not the perfect teacher for everyone. (Have you ever had this experience? A friend says they absolutely love a new chocolate, but when you try it, it’s not that great for you — something like that 😊) But if you take the time to try a lesson with me, I promise I’ll always do my very best.

大人のための知的な対話を。ニュースや文化、人生を深く語り合いましょう。Deep Dive into News, Culture & Life. As someone who has navigated panic disorder, I truly understand the anxiety and tension that can come with learning. I use visual aids like screen sharing and chat messages to help you express yourself without pressure. 私のレッスンは、教科書を使って文法を勉強する「塾」のようなスタイルではありません。日本語を使って、もっと自由に、もっと深くコミュニケーションをしたい大人のための場所です。 私自身、過去にパニック障害を経験し、強い不安や緊張と向き合ってきた時期があります。ですから、レッスン前の不安な気持ちや、思うように言葉が出てこないもどかしさは痛いほどよくわかります。 「うまく話そう」と思わなくて大丈夫です。頭の中がまとまらない時は、チャットボックスや画面共有を使って視覚的にサポートしますので、あなたのペースでゆっくりと言葉を紡いでいきましょう。 【得意なこと・好きなこと】 時事問題でディスカッション:最近のニュースについて、あなたの意見を聞かせてください。正解はありません。「なぜそう思うのか」を話し合い、お互いの知的好奇心(ちてきこうきしん)を満たしましょう。 大人のフリートーク:仕事の愚痴(ぐち)や、恋愛の話、好きなアニメについてなど、プライベートな話題も大歓迎です。私はとてもオープンな性格なので、希望があれば私の話もさせていただきます。
