Certified Professional Japanese Teacher!! 🐬Living in Paraguay🐬 ✅️ I do not offer beginner (A1) level class. 🔞 I do not accept students under 18 years old. After retiring at the age of 45, my daily work is investing in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and currencies, which I have been doing continuously since I was young. After completing the Japanese teacher training course at the age of 47, I started teaching Japanese in Latin America, mainly in Mexico and Colombia. Due to the pandemic, all schools were closed, so I started teaching online. My experience teaching online began in 2020. My personal areas of expertise: economics, politics, management, taxation, marine mammals, travel, scuba diving, surfing, Latin America, music, and musical instruments.

たくさん会話しながら記憶に定着させましょう✨多听多说 🎵 私も中国語を勉強をしています。単語や文法を学んでも、実際の会話でふさわしい表現かできているか不安なことがありました。そんなときはネイティブの方と会話して自然な表現からたくさん学ぶことができました。私はそんな経験から楽しく会話してスキルアップしていただくように取り組んで行きたいと思います。 我也在学习中文。虽然我学了很多单词和语法,但有时会担心自己在实际对话中能否使用合适的表达方式。在这种情况下,我通过和母语者对话,能够从自然的表达中学到很多。通过这样的经验,我希望能够在愉快的对话中提高自己的语言技能。 I am also learning Chinese. Although I’ve learned many words and grammar, there are times when I’m unsure if I’m using the right expressions in real conversations. In those moments, I’ve been able to learn a lot from native speakers by having conversations and picking up natural expressions. Based on those experiences, I want to continue working on improving my skills through enjoyable conversations.
