私は楽しく明るい雰囲気でレッスンをしたいと思っています。 必要な場合には、語彙を教えたり、訂正をしますが、丁寧に優しく伝えたいと思っています😁 私も今２つの言語を勉強しています。そのため日本語を学んでいるみなさんの努力や会話に伴う緊張がよくわかります。 レッスン中、必要な場合は話す速度を変えたり、一人一人の興味にできるだけ合わせて会話を作っていきたいと思っています。 我希望在轻松愉快的氛围进行我的课程。在必要时，我会教一些新的词汇并进行纠正，但我喜欢温和友善地进行😁。我自己也在学习两门语言，因此我非常理解学习日语的学生的付出的努力和对话时也许感到的紧张。在课程中，如果需要，我会调整说话速度，并尽量根据每个人的兴趣来来对话。 I want to conduct my lessons in a fun and cheerful atmosphere. When necessary, I will teach vocabulary and make corrections, but I will do so kindly and gently 😁. I am currently studying two languages myself, so I understand well the efforts and the anxiety that come with learning Japanese.

Learn About Japan Through Fun Conversations‼️English OK🌸 Hi! I’m from Fukuoka, Japan, and Japanese is my first language. I studied abroad in Ireland in high school, where I learned English. I later lived in Tokyo for seven years before returning to Fukuoka. I currently teach Japanese online and also work in Japanese-English interpretation and tour guiding. I love languages, travel, and connecting with people from different cultures. I have traveled across Europe, Asia, and the US, so we can talk about Japanese culture, life in Fukuoka and Tokyo, travel, food, and more. I have taught Japanese online for over a year and currently have around 35 regular students. One of my strengths is explaining Japanese clearly and logically in English. I can help you understand grammar, differences between expressions, and the nuances of Japanese words. I’m also confident teaching keigo. Through my experience in an NGO, I learned appropriate Japanese for formal situations. I can teach natural polite Japanese, business keigo, and more formal expressions. I believe learning Japanese becomes more meaningful when you also understand the culture, customs, and ways of thinking behind the language. My lessons can include conversation, reading, listening, Japanese for travel, grammar, and cultural discussion. Whether you are a complete beginner, preparing for a trip to Japan, or an advanced learner who wants conversation practice, I can adapt the lessons to your goals. My goal is to make Japanese practical, enjoyable, and easy to understand.

My first priority is students' interests and purposes of taking lessons. I'm here to help you attain your goals no matter what they are. I usually take students from intermediate to advanced level speakers since I'm a community tutor who don't have a structured series of courses with textbooks. For completely beginners and those who are younger than 18, I recommend to consider taking lessons with other professional tutors. My classes will also be good for those who are planning to visit Japan since I can provide lots of useful information of sightseeing spots, cultural perspectives and useful greetings/phrases/words as a traveler. 日本の文化や日本に来たときに役に立つあいさつやフレーズを教えることもできます。

I’m Matsuko—born in Tokyo and currently living in Germany. Since I speak English and German, beginners and those who feel uneasy about learning a foreign language can join with confidence. As I am also a learner of English and German myself, I truly understand both the challenges and the joys of language acquisition. I love food, travel, and reading; I’ll incorporate these topics into our lessons to introduce Japanese culture and everyday conversation in a fun, easy-to-understand way. If you’d like to get more familiar with the Japanese language, let’s learn together! I look forward to meeting you. *Being on holiday till end of August :)

I was raised and educated in Japan but now live in Vietnam. I regularly use Vietnamese with my colleague, subordinates and counterparts and sometimes communicate with customers around the world in English. Each language is unique in its own way, but don't think too hard about it, just start a conversation by using the words you know and saying them out loud.
