I’d love to help your Japanese training. I love talking and answering questions as much as I can. My lesson will focus on speaking and vocabulary but if you have questions about reading, writing and listening, I will try my best to answer them.
The questions don’t have to be formal academic. I’m happy to answer modern trends or slangs.
I will talk about my experiences and academic background.
I gained bachelor’s in Japan and I was an RA for exchange students. That is when I realize that I like to interact with international people. Then I got license for teaching Japanese for non native speakers after I graduate.
Then I realized that many learners of Japanese are from other countries in Asia so I majored in Asian Studies in master’s degree in United States.
Since I have interacted with many people with different backgrounds and different races, I think these interactions widen my perspective, so I think I am open minded. Therefore, you can tell me or ask me anything you would like. I would not judge you.
I will try my best to make you comfortable in my lessons.
I also like to adjust the lesson depends on what you want to achieve, so if you take my class, I’d like to ask what you want to achieve, what skill you would like to focus on etc. It can be just leaning recent Japan’s culture, learn some vocabulary, or talking in Japanese for fun.
I’m very excited to talk to you :)
