Let's enjoy studying Japanese! 翻訳の仕事をしているので日本語の細かいニュアンスを伝えることができます。以前はホテルで働いていたので丁寧な日本語も教えることができます。特にフランス語圏の方につきましては間違いやすいポイントを知っていますので初級から上級者の方に対応いたします。 J'enseigne souvent le japonais surtout à mes amis francophones. Je connais donc les points dans lesquels les Francophones ont tendance à se tromper. Comme je travaille en tant que traducteur, je peux transmettre les nuances subtiles du japonais. Je peux aussi enseigner le japonais poli grâce à mon expérience dans l’hôtellerie. I have been teaching Japanese on Italki since August. And since I work as a translator, I can explain the subtle nuances of Japanese. I can also teach polite Japanese thanks to my experience in the hotel business.

Beginners can feel safe—I speak slowly and clearly. For advanced learners, we can work on natural expressions and accurate pronunciation. With my experience as a TV announcer, I can help you speak clearly and confidently. Don’t worry about mistakes—just try to use Japanese as much as possible!

🌸Free talk&Conversation🇯🇵 /🌊Anime & Travel Japanese/🇨🇳中文・ English OK/🙌🏻Beginner-friendly 🍒我的学习方式比较特殊，我把自己当作“实验者”，通过自我教学不断试错，形成了自己的学习体系。从零基础到接近母语水平的日语，就是这套方法的成果。我同时会中文、英文和日语，因此也能够无障碍地指导中文或英文母语者学习日语。 🍒My learning journey is unique because I treated myself as an “experiment subject,” constantly teaching myself and testing different learning approaches. Through this, I developed my own method that helped me reach near-native Japanese from zero. Since I speak Chinese, English, and Japanese, I can explain my method clearly to learners who speak either Chinese or English. 🍒私の学習方法は少し特別で、自分自身を「実験者」として独学しながら試行錯誤を重ね、独自の学習メソッドを作り上げました。ゼロからほぼネイティブレベルまで成長できたのは、この方法のおかげです。中国語・英語・日本語が話せるため、中国語圏や英語圏の学習者にもわかりやすく指導できます。
