Enjoy speaking Japanese! Japanese is FUN!! (See Youtube @chiekoosugi233) Born and raised in Kyoto, I’ve called many countries home—USA, Philippines, Indonesia, Tunisia, India, Uruguay, Hungary—and now split my time between Japan and New Zealand. My life has been a journey of connecting with people from all walks of life, embracing new cultures, and diving into languages (I’ve studied ten so far!). I love sharing this global perspective with my students and believe language is the key to understanding the world. If you’re curious about Japanese language and culture, or want to learn from someone who truly understands the excitement and challenges of learning a new language, I’d love to meet you!
