🌸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。

A licensed teacher from Japan living in the US for 20 years 😊 Take action! Learn Japanese! I’m a very patient, encouraging, and dedicated licensed teacher from Japan living in the US for 20 years. I also completed the 420 Hour Advanced Japanese Teacher Training Course. I dearly hope to help students at all levels become masters of the Japanese language for both personal and professional reasons. Speaking a new language can be challenging and sometimes frustrating since many of us are shy about trying and are worried about making mistakes. I will help you get comfortable with speaking Japanese in a relaxed environment and make learning fun and enjoyable! My lessons are tailored to your individual needs. We can follow a text book to focus on grammar and testable subjects, or we can use real life materials such as world news, movies, anime, cultures, or any topic that you prefer to enhance your communication skills in Japanese through active conversation. In each lesson, I focus primarily on making YOU speak while I teach new vocabulary and grammar points and boost your listening and reading skills if necessary. I definitely value your time. I try to make every lesson productive and worthwhile! Come and join me in class, and let’s make Japanese a part of your life. ᕦ(ò ᴗ óˇ)ᕤ みなさん、こんにちは! 私の名前はRioです。 日本で生まれ育ちましたが、2003年からアメリカに住んでいます。 アメリカの会社で7年半働いていました。 今はいろいろな国の人たちに日本語を教えています。 趣味は、ピアノ、読書、油絵、旅行です。 一緒に楽しく日本語を勉強しましょう。 お会いできるのをとても楽しみにしています。♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪

日本語ゼロでも大丈夫! 一緒に勉強しましょう。Don' t worry even if you are a beginner. I taught some elementary school students who came to Japan and didn't know Japanese at all. I taught them from Hiragana,greetings and also told them about life style in Japan. I was by their side and also supported school lessons. And I taught some International students how to prepare for JLPT. They enjoyed studying with quizzes I made. Now I teach some American students who have returned to America. 私は日本語ゼロで日本に住むことになった小学生に日本語を教えました。ひらがなや挨拶から始まり、日本での生活についても話しました。彼らのそばについて学校の授業のサポートもしました。 また、大学の留学生にJLPT対策のクイズを作り、楽しくクイズをしながらJLPTの勉強を教えました。 今、アメリカに戻ったアメリカの学生に日本語を教えています。

4+ Years | 4,000+ Lessons |I help 📖 learners speak naturally without relying on their textbook. You've bought bunch of textbooks. You've done the Duolingo streaks. And yet — the moment a real conversation happens, your mind goes blank. I KNOW that feeling. And I KNOW exactly why it happens. こんにちは! I'm Kana, from Kyoto 🍵 — Japan's ancient capital. I studied English all through school in Japan, then went abroad to the US and Canada. And when someone said "How's it going" — I froze. Completely. Not a single word came out. All those years of study. Gone in a second. I still remember the heat in my face. The way I looked at the floor. The voice in my head that said: maybe I'm just not good at this. That moment changed how I teach forever. Most Japanese language programs — even professional ones — use the same method Japan used on me: grammar and rules first, speaking later. In my lessons, you will never read a sentence like "Watashi wa shinbun wo yomimasu." — "I read the newspaper." Nobody says that. Nobody needs that. Because here's what I know after 4 years of teaching: language only sticks when it's connected to something real — a moment you've lived, a conversation you actually need, a feeling you want to express. My lessons start with your real life — the exact situations you are walking toward. The Izakaya. The family dinner. The workplace. We practice the conversations that actually matter to you, until they stop feeling like Japanese and start feeling like you. 📚Book a trial lesson. Tell me the moment you're most nervous about.That's exactly where we start.

Let's Speak Japanese from Day 1✨ Learn Through Trends, Culture & Topics That Make You Curious! 📢 Important Notice for New Students 📢 As the number of my students is growing across different platforms, I may need to stop accepting new students on italki. If that happens, students who have never taken a lesson with me before will no longer be able to book my lessons. So, if you're interested in learning Japanese with me, I'd love to invite you to book a trial lesson while I'm still accepting new students! ☺️❤️ ----------- Hi! I’m Mai from Japan ✨ I studied linguistics and Translation Studies at university, and I continue studying linguistics today. In 2019, I had the wonderful opportunity to teach Japanese at a senior high school in Taiwan. After returning to Japan, I started teaching Japanese online and have now taught over 2,000 lessons to students from many countries across different platforms. 【About My Lessons】 In my lessons, I choose recent trends, interesting topics from Japan, social issues, culture, and uniquely Japanese ways of thinking. I create original materials and adjust them to each student’s level. Through these topics, you can naturally learn vocabulary and grammar, then practice speaking by sharing your own opinions. If you are a complete beginner, I also offer separate beginner and grammar lessons. My husband is British, and we have lived together in Japan for many years, so I can also teach you lots of useful Japanese for everyday life in Japan! I’m looking forward to meeting you and helping you enjoy speaking Japanese! ✨
