Free talk style lessons focused on "improving speaking" The important thing in learning a language is to continue. I'm the same language learner as you, so I understand how difficult it is to learn a new language. It's very difficult to continue every day, but I think the secret to continuing is to have fun and learn. In the lesson, practice speaking casual Japanese as if you were talking with your friends! I would like to help you enjoy studying Japanese. 言語を学ぶ上で大切なのは「継続すること」です。私もみなさんと同じ言語学習者なので、新しい言語を学ぶ大変さはすごくよく分かります。毎日続けることはとても難しいですが、楽しんで勉強することが継続の秘訣だと思います。 レッスンでは、友達と喋るような感覚でカジュアルな日本語を話す練習をしましょう!あなたが楽しんで日本語を勉強できるようにお手伝いしたいと思います。

Registered Japanese Teacher | From Clear Grammar to Confident Speaking—with Personal PDF Notes You understand Japanese, but the words disappear when you try to speak. That is okay—those moments help me see what you need next. If you are starting from zero, I will guide you step by step. My goal is to help you say what you really want to say. ■ About My Lessons I hold Japan’s national qualification as a Registered Japanese Language Teacher and teach at a Japanese language school. I explain grammar clearly, use English when needed, and adapt lessons to your goals. When you get stuck, I do not rush to give you the answer. I use questions and hints to help you find the words and build the sentence yourself. Then you practice using it in conversation with clear, gentle corrections. ■ Personal PDF Notes During class, I type your sentences, corrections, and useful expressions on screen. After class, you receive your own PDF with explanations and examples when needed. ■ Choose Your Course • Structured Grammar: Learn grammar step by step • Grammar + Homework: Personalized homework, corrections, and feedback • Conversation: Practice speaking and sound more natural • Japanese for Children: Adapted to your child’s age, level, and interests I recommend Zoom for stable audio and screen sharing, but please choose your preferred platform. ■ How to Start You are welcome to book the course that best fits your goals. If you would like help deciding, please message me or start with a trial lesson. Let’s turn “I understand” into “I can say it.” ✨

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。

✅Effective, beginner-friendly lessons with a structured approach! Language learning enthusiast 🌈 Hello! I’m a Japanese teacher based in Japan, with over seven years of experience teaching Japanese and English. Although I was born in Japan, I moved to Peru when I was two and lived there for over 15 years. Growing up in a multilingual environment, I became fluent in Japanese, Spanish, and English. I have also studied several other languages and spent a year as an exchange student in South Korea. As a language learner myself, I understand the challenges of learning a new language. I tailor each lesson to your level and goals, helping you improve your speaking, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, and confidence. Beginners can build a solid foundation step by step, while intermediate and advanced learners can develop fluency through natural conversation. I am also happy to answer questions about Japanese language, culture, history, and daily life in Japan. In my free time, I enjoy reading, studying languages (currently Swedish and Polish), and spending time with my dog. I look forward to learning about your country and culture too! Please note: Beginner and intermediate students should be able to communicate in English or Spanish. I currently accept students aged 18 and above. Lessons canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice cannot be rescheduled. No refunds are provided for missed lessons.

みなさん、こんにちは! わたしの名前は、まさよ、です。 日本で生まれ、日本で育ちました。東京都の出身です。 日本の、ヒロシマ、おおさか、ナゴヤ、など、ほかの都市でも生活しました。 同じ日本語でも、その土地によって発音や単語の違いがあり、そのオモシロサも経験しました。 最近までトルコに8年間住んでいました。 トルコの優しい人々、美味しい料理、古い歴史が大好きです。 Merhabalar! İsmim Masayo, ben Japonum. Tokyo’da büyüdüm. Fakat Japonya’da Hiroshima, Osaka, Nagoya gibi başka şehirinde de yaşadım. Türkiye’de 8 yıldır yaşadım Türk insan çok nazik. Yemekleri çok lezzetli. Güzel tarihi var. Bunları çok seviyorum. わたしも外国に住んでいましたので、外国語を話すことのむずかしさを理解しています。 同時に、話せる時の楽しさも実感しています。 その土地の人々と会話し、文化にふれることは、その土地の言葉を好きになり、じょうずに話せるようになる上で役立ってきました。 それで、外国語の上達には、ネイティブスピーカーと会話することがとても大切だと考えています。 私は英語をあまり話せません。おもに日本語で会話してゆきます。 Ben de başka ülkede yaşadım. Bu yüzden yabancı dil öğrenmenin ne kadar zor olduğunu aynı zamanda ne kadar güzel olduğunu da öğrendim. Türk insanlarla konuşarak, güzel yemekleri tadarak,ayrıca eski tarihli inceleyerek Türkçeyi öğrendim. Bunlar Türkçemin gelişmesine çok etkiledi. Japonca öğrendiğinizde birlikte sohbet etmek size çok yarar sağlar. Maalesef İngilizcem çok zayıf. normalde Japonca ile sohbet edelim. わたしのレッスンは主にフリートークですが、せいかくな発音や、声をだして文を読んだり、文をつくったりするお手伝いができます。みなさんの好きなこと、経験したこと、知りたいことなど、なんでもわたしに教えてくださいね。ゆっくりで大丈夫です。いっしょに会話しながら楽しく日本語をまなんでいきましょう! Benim derslerim serbest konuşma üzerindedir. Ama doğru telaffuz söylemenize, sesli okumanıza ve cümle kurmanıza yardımcı olabilirim. Sevdiğiniz, yaşadığınız ya da öğrenmek istediğiniz şeyleri bana anlatabilirsiniz. Birlikte sohbet ederek Japonca öğrenelim!
