««---Hokkaido dialect (北海道方言)----------------------»»
As I am also working in the sustainability field, I'd love to teach my dialect here to help preserve it. What I love when I go sightseeing in Japan is that each prefecture has its own culture. Dialect is part of it. I reckon keeping dialect diversity makes Japanese tourism very fun. However, the "Common language" was made to have smoother communication to talk with people from other prefectures in the Meiji era. Since then, people have been losing their local dialects. If dialects disappear, it affects historical research, people will feel so missing, and tourism becomes less interesting.  In this course, you can learn the Hokkaido dialect and our culture. I hope you will find Hokkaido more attractive!

⛄️ How unique is the Hokkaido dialect?
Intonation and conjugations are sometimes different from Tokyo's accent especially when we speak informally. We don’t use unique vocab that much when we speak formally. And, we don’t have a ton of unique vocabulary like Osaka. 

🦀 Is your accent thick?
My accent is coastal one but it is much weaker than Hakodate's. Pretty much the same as Sapporo people or somewhat stronger than theirs. Weaker than 大泉洋.  :-D

🍦 How do you teach?
We will translate basic grammar and daily used vocabulary into Hokkaido style while following Genki1 and Genki2. If you have any specific requests, please tell me. Lower B1/N3 level fluency is required.

🦊 Do people still speak dialect?
It really depends on the area as Hokkaido is as huge as Austria and UAE. People from coastal areas tend to speak with thick accents, especially in Hakodate and tiny fishing towns. Sapporo people speak in dialect but people from the inland area sometimes try to speak like Tokyo folks.

🐏 Do you speak Ainu?
Zero. There are only a few native speakers left. You can study at 北大, etc.

*I don't speak in dialect in other courses

Hokkaido dialect 《55min / 30min》

✅ The content is the same as the adult course.
✅ Once I complete my first 10,000 lessons, I’ll be raising the price🐥
✅ You can keep booking teenage courses until you graduate from my class—even after turning 20✨ Enjoy learning!

------
Please do not ask me to take on new teenage students at the same rate as the adult course.

My schedule is not always stable, as I work as a freelancer and sometimes take on 9-to-5 company work.

Just as my own teachers taught me consistently for at least a year and built a good teacher–student relationship, I really do not want to disrupt young students’ schedules.

I kindly ask you to find another teacher. Thank you for your understanding🫶
