🩵中文OK🩵 🐠有國家教學資格🐠 💚基礎・初級大歓迎💚 🦕🦕我的課堂有許多持續學習多年的老同學，高續課率是教學品質最佳證明😉歡迎加入我的課程，一起開心地提升日語能力！🦖🦖 您好，我是那美老師，擁有8年日語教學經驗的專業講師。出身於日本靜岡縣（以茶產業和櫻桃小丸子聞名的地區），目前已在台灣居住9年。我特別專精於零基礎學員的啟蒙教學，能運用中文輔助解釋日語文法要點——這源自於我自身從零學習中文（現達CEFR B2級）的經驗，完全理解外語初習者的需求。目前正拓展語言學習領域，開始鑽研德文，持續精進教學方法論。 專業背景融合多元領域：現為認證花藝設計師（擅長將教學視同花藝創作，注重細節雕琢），具20餘國獨旅經驗（善於將文化比較融入語言教學），同時是兩隻貓的飼育者（課堂常自然融入生活化情境）。 教學核心理念：『語言學習應始於正確的發音基礎』，專為完全初學者設計階梯式課程，從五十音到生活會話系統化建構，結合日本文化知識與實用溝通技巧。 完全沒有學過日文，不知道怎麼開始學嗎？👌 很久以前學過現在都忘光了嗎👌 平常沒有很多機會練習對話嗎？👌 看文章寫作文聽力也都還好，但講不出來你想要說的嗎？👌 平常在臺灣我教日文的對象從高中學生到上班族。我的學生中很多是從零開始學日文，變成會說日文的人不少。 不僅我自己喜歡學語言，也很享受一起學日語。 透過教日語，看著學生一點一點的更喜歡日本， 我感覺到歡樂和成就感。 普段高校生から社会人までいろいろな方に日本語を教えています。５０音から勉強を始めて話せるようになった生徒さんもたくさんいます。 私自身も語学の勉強は大好きですが、一緒に日本語を学ぶこともとても楽しく感じています。 日本語の勉強を通して、生徒さんが日本をもっと好きになってくれるのを見ると、 とてもうれしくなります。 我擅長教導日語初學者，常用「大家的日本語」、「會日本語」，沒有課本也沒問題，用我的教材練習講話。 有很多學生考過N1.2也會話方面不擅長。邊複習基本語法邊練習講出來。 所以沒有練習過日語的人、不太喜歡說話的人也沒有問題噢！也可以用中文說明語法，不用擔心。慢慢一起開始練習吧。 想練習寫作文、想要有回家作業，有任何想要練習的方法都可以告訴我，我們一起討論最適合你的學習方式. ※※学生必須年満15歲※※ 特に初心者の方へ、教科書を使って文法の勉強を教えるのことが得意です。 それから、「N1,2に受かったけど会話はできない」という方はたくさんいます。あまり話す練習をしたことがない、話すのが苦手な方も大丈夫です！文法の復習をしながら、中国語で教えることもできますので、一緒にゆっくり練習しましょう。 中級以上の方の会話練習は、短い文章やニュース記事を読みながらすすめます。 まず音読をして日本語の自然なアクセントや言い回しに慣れます。それから話し合います。意見を言うことも聞くこともとても良い練習になります。 作文の練習がしたい、宿題がほしいなど希望があったら教えてください。 ※※学生の対象は15歳以上です※※

See you in my class! 【初級】テキストブック「GENKI」または「NIHONGO FUN&EASY」を使うクラス、テキストブックは使わずにスライドに沿ってレッスンするクラスがあります。どちらもしっかり、楽しく学べますよ！ 【中級・上級】ご希望のテーマがあれば、それに沿ってレッスンをします。 そうでない場合は、私の提供するテーマに沿って、私がたくさん質問します。その答えを聞きつつ、間違えたところをチェックしし、自然な言い方の提案をしていきます。たくさん話しましょう！ 🔶Beginner You can choose a class using a textbook such as GENKI or NIHONGO FUN & EASY, or a class using my slides without a textbook.

6年間の講師経験をもつフランス在住講師 I focus on speaking practice, not grammar teaching. My lessons are for students who want to use Japanese in a natural way. I change the speed and words depending on your level and goals. I am learning French, so I know the feeling of “I want to say something, but I don’t have the words”. In my lessons, you can speak without fear of mistakes. 私は文法を一から教えるのではなく、会話を中心に日本語を使う練習をしています。生徒さんのレベルや目的に合わせて、話すスピードや語彙を変えます。 アートや文化をきっかけに会話を広げることが多いです。私自身もフランス語を学んでいて、「言いたいのに言えない」という気持ちを知っています。だから、安心して間違えられる環境を大切にしています。

Japanese language skills; 5+ years of experience as a Korean instructor; It's been about 5 year since I taught at Italki. I can use Korean at the level of a native speaker and have daily conversations in English. However, my English is not at a level where I can understand basic Korean grammar or detailed explanations to students, so make sure to check this part before applying for the course! Japanese is a little more free to talk and explain. 저는 아이토키에서 가르친 지 5년 정도 되었습니다.물론, 저는 한국어를 원어민 수준으로 사용할 수 있고 영어로 일상 대화를 할 수 있습니다. 하지만, 저의 영어 실력은 학생에게 기본적인 한국어 문법이나 상세한 설명을 이해할 수 있는 수준이 아니므로, 강좌를 신청하기 전에 이 부분을 꼭 확인하세요! Italkiで今まで約 5年位授業をして来ました. 韓国語は当然ネイティブレベルで駆使し、英語は日常会話が可能です。 ただし、英語の実力は基礎的な韓国語文法や詳しい説明が可能なレベルではないので、授業申し込みの前に必ず確認してください！ 日本語ではもうちょっと自由に会話が可能で文法説明も可能です。

Japanese Conversation through Food and Culture Hello, I’m Micchi, a professional Japanese teacher living on Awaji Island, known in Japanese mythology as the island of creation. I offer topic-based Japanese conversation lessons for B1 and above learners who want to improve their speaking skills through food, culture, dashi, tea, and daily life. For nearly 30 years, I have been involved in Japanese food culture, including home cooking, seasonings, dashi, umami, tea, and daily food life. Through our conversations, you can practice speaking Japanese while exploring the values, aesthetics, and cultural feelings behind Japanese food, tea, dashi, seasons, and daily life. This will help you understand natural Japanese expressions and the kind of communication that goes beyond the literal meaning of words. In my lessons, we may talk about miso, soy sauce, katsuobushi, kombu, chopsticks, food habits, Japanese tea, Chinese tea, Taiwanese tea, kimono, and life on Awaji Island. All lessons are conducted in Japanese only. I speak at a natural speed, explain simply, and correct your Japanese when needed. My teaching style is calm, gentle, and practical. You do not need to speak perfectly. I will support you in finding your own words in Japanese while enjoying meaningful cultural topics. This is not a business Japanese lesson. Free conversation is welcome when the topic is related to Japanese food, culture, tea, dashi, or daily life. If my available times do not fit your schedule, please feel free to send me a lesson request.
