Free talk style lessons focused on "improving speaking" The important thing in learning a language is to continue. I'm the same language learner as you, so I understand how difficult it is to learn a new language. It's very difficult to continue every day, but I think the secret to continuing is to have fun and learn. In the lesson, practice speaking casual Japanese as if you were talking with your friends! I would like to help you enjoy studying Japanese. 言語を学ぶ上で大切なのは「継続すること」です。私もみなさんと同じ言語学習者なので、新しい言語を学ぶ大変さはすごくよく分かります。毎日続けることはとても難しいですが、楽しんで勉強することが継続の秘訣だと思います。 レッスンでは、友達と喋るような感覚でカジュアルな日本語を話す練習をしましょう!あなたが楽しんで日本語を勉強できるようにお手伝いしたいと思います。

Native Chinese & Shanghainese | JLPT N1 & IELTS 7.5 | Japanese & Mandarin Tutor I have extensive experience in the tutoring industry. This background has enabled me to identify a student’s weak points quickly and effectively. My biggest strength is coaching natural intonation and real-life conversation. 我拥有丰富的辅导经验,能够快速识别你的薄弱环节。我的核心优势是自然的发音和地道的日常口语。 Because I’ve mastered multiple languages myself, I know exactly where the difficulties lie for learners. I can explain complex Chinese grammar by comparing it with languages you already know. I always ensure that we move at a pace that is comfortable yet challenging enough to keep you growing. 由于我熟悉英文和日文的结构,我擅长通过语言对比来解释复杂的中文语法,并根据你的进度实时调整。 私は中国語、英語、日本語の構造を比較しながら、分かりやすく説明することができます。一人ひとりに合わせたフィードバックを提供することを心掛けています。

スイス🇨🇭から こんにちは!Speak Natural Japanese with Confidence | English🇺🇸 Deutsch🇩🇪Ok👍 I teach one-on-one lessons on italki and also teach at an educational institution in 🇨🇭. I completed a 1-year Japanese Teacher Training Course (420 hours) at a Japanese university and hold a professional Japanese teaching certificate 🧑‍🏫. I have taught over 400 hours in total. I’m also currently studying Linguistics and English Literature at an online university, which helps me understand how languages work and how people learn them.
