英語・ドイツ語でサポート!優しいフリートーク / Japanese for Beginners (English & German OK!) Hello, I’m Akiko, a Japanese teacher living in Germany. I support learners who want to speak Japanese more freely and confidently, especially those who feel nervous about trying free‑talk for the first time. At university, I studied Japanese culture, regional history, and Japanese literature. Because of this background, I enjoy talking about a wide range of topics such as culture, literature, and regional stories. I also worked for 17 years in accounting and general affairs at a German company in Japan. Thanks to this experience, I can help with practical business Japanese, including accounting terminology, customer service, complaint handling, and factory‑tour role‑plays. It’s completely okay to make mistakes. We will talk slowly at your pace and build the ability to express what you want to say naturally in Japanese. I can support you in English and German as well. I look forward to speaking with you.

Japanese from Zero with GENKI | Practice Doctor Visit Conversations with Nurse Yukari ! Hello, everyone! I’m Yukari. Why not start learning Japanese with me? I’m a mother of two children and used to work as a nurse, so I’m very patient and always supportive. In my free time, I enjoy jogging, traveling, learning other languages (I’m currently studying Chinese), and watching movies. I mainly focus on two types of lessons: structured beginner lessons using GENKI and practical Japanese conversation for doctor visits. For beginners starting Japanese from zero, I use GENKI and my slides to explain grammar and useful expressions clearly. Conversation practice is included so students can actively use what they learn. For practical Japanese conversation for doctor visits, I draw on my experience as a nurse in Japan and on having lived abroad, so I understand how stressful visiting a doctor in a foreign country can be. Through role-play and common situational phrases, students practice real conversations, gain confidence, and feel more comfortable visiting a doctor in Japan. ~Lesson example~ 【beginners to intermediate learners】 ●Genki (text book) ※Most Recommended  I don’t just read the textbook; I use my own original slides to explain things clearly. ●Free conversation 【Japanese conversation lessons for doctor visits】 We practice essential conversations for hospital visits by learning common phrases and doing role-plays for different situations. ※ “Business English, JLPT preparation, and lessons for students under 12 are not available.

    Another great lesson with ゆきえさん! I recently started taking group Japanese classes at a university in addition to my lessons with her. Taking both has made me appreciate even more how much I enjoy my lessons with her! She does an amazing job personalizing each lesson to my level, interests, and needs, and I always feel comfortable practicing and speaking with her.

    I really had fun with Sensei’s listening skill challenge! It made me more aware of the areas where I still need to improve. I also really enjoy how Sensei discusses the latest news and current events, then teaches me how to express my thoughts naturally in Japanese. Overall, I always have a great time learning with Sensei. It’s not only helping me improve my Japanese, but also making the learning experience fun, practical, and engaging! 🇯🇵

    Chieko Sensei is fantastic at teaching students who are preparing for the JLPT. She has great understanding of the exam structure and does an excellent job of analysing and breaking down the different question types. She also provides useful tips and strategies to help tackle each type of question more effectively. She goes further by identifying and explaining the different types of comprehension and listening questions that may appear in the exam. Her expertise and extensive knowledge of the JLPT have given me the confidence when approaching the questions. Aside from exam prep, she also takes time at the beginning of each lesson to catch up with me, which is really helpful in improving my conversational skills. Whenever we go through a passage, she asks me questions and encourages me to explain my thoughts and understanding. This not only helps to strengthen my comprehension but also gives me more opportunities to practise speaking.

    Natsumi is a truly exceptional teacher. I've taken around 20 lessons with her at this point, and they have been worth every penny. There's the fact that you learn tons of new vocabulary and grammar. But more importantly, Natsumi has the right attitude. She is supportive and easy to talk to — but at the same time, willing and able to push you to try out expressions, structures, and topics you otherwise wouldn't do on your own. TLDR: if you're reading this, you're wasting time. Book a lesson with Natsumi now, and never look back.

    Yoko sensei is a wonderful teacher whom I would recommend to anyone of any level. She is cheerful, very well-organized, and extremely encouraging. Yoko sensei is clearly very experienced, and uses cards/props to prompt you and convey meaning without interrupting the flow of conversation when I am trying to speak. She speaks fluent English so can help me when I get stuck, but does not let the conversation lapse into English, so I am pushed to keep trying in Japanese. Yoko sensei sends summaries of our key vocabulary from the lesson in a clear and helpful format after we have finished. A fantastic teacher who will help you with whatever your goals are in your Japanese learning journey.
