I am looking forward to seeing you in my class and to be hearing stories from you. Studying while having fun is possible and I can't wait to share this joy of learning with you!

I offer a course in Japan focused on developing grammar and vocabulary—two aspects that are both difficult and frequent—in spoken language. This course aims to provide an innovative approach to linguistic techniques, without being a theoretical or academic subject.

During the lessons, I combine the theoretical aspect of the language, essential for speaking correctly, with the practical aspect, which allows one to express oneself understandably and to interact effectively with native speakers, while maintaining a certain critical distance from both.

Thanks to my experience in Japanese interpretation and my stays in Japan, I can convey a natural and spontaneous approach to the language.

The course focuses on grammar, vocabulary, and writing (kanji). Starting from the perspective of a speaker of an Indo-European language, it aims to allow learners to acquire the structure of Japanese naturally, freeing them from any unconscious biases related to their native language.

I also pay particular attention to the link between written and spoken language – an often surprising aspect in Japanese – so as not to separate these two dimensions.

英語を学ぶことは、単語を覚えることではなく、自分を表現する力を育てることです。
In my classes, you’ll learn how to speak English naturally and confidently, step by step.

We’ll focus on:
• 💬 Real conversation practice for daily and business situations
• 🎧 Listening and pronunciation for clear, natural communication
• 📝 Grammar and vocabulary explained simply and visually
• 🌍 Cultural understanding to speak English with confidence abroad

I’m a multilingual teacher who lives in Japan and understands the challenges Japanese learners face — especially with pronunciation, sentence flow, and confidence. My goal is to help you feel relaxed, understood, and motivated while learning English you can actually use.

Let’s build your English fluency together — one natural conversation at a time.

I offer an enjoyable Japanese lesson! Do you like Japanese culture, food or Manga? If you learn Japanese with me, you’ll be able to enjoy them!
If you don’t have any requests, then we use a text book and learn grammar etc with talking about Japanese culture. We can focus on the conversation as well.
I usually use more Katakana words because it’s more common now, useful and easy to memorize vocabulary for you.
It’s possible to go around together or only talk about something about Japan.
Let’s learn Japanese together!

I’m Kurt, based in Munich. I teach Mandarin Chinese and Japanese with a linguistic background. Find learning an exotic, Asian language cool but don't know where to get started with? Or are you already been frustrated by them: why Japanese drops the subject all the time? Why Chinese has no past tense while you still know when it happened? And more importantly, while Pinyin or Hiragana seems sufficient for writing the language, why do I have to learn the stupid Hanzi or Kanji at all? I got you. We start speaking ‘why the hell does the language work like that’ starting from the first minute, maximum actual talking and laughing.

Ich habe bereits viel Erfahrung im Unterrichten. Auch wenn Japanischlernende mit Lehrbüchern oder online selbst lernen, verwenden sie oft Ausdrücke, die für uns Japaner unnatürlich klingen. Bei mir, einer Muttersprachlerin könnt ihr sowohl eine natürliche Aussprache als auch gebräuchliche Ausdrücke mit Hintergrundwissen (z. B. Kultur, Denkweise und Persönlichkeit der Japaner) lernen.

Auch Grammatik kann ich euch gut beibringen. Ich wohne seit über 15 Jahren in Wien und spreche fließend Deutsch. Wenn ihr möchtet, kann ich den Unterricht gerne auf Deutsch halten – das ist besonders gut für Anfänger geeignet.

Ihr braucht euch keine Sorgen zu machen, Fehler zu machen. Als ich selbst Deutsch gelernt habe, hatte ich viele Schwierigkeiten und verstehe gut, wie unterschiedlich die beiden Sprachen sind und welche Herausforderungen das Japanischlernen für Deutschsprachige mit sich bringt.

Es macht mich schon glücklich, dass ihr euch für Japan interessiert. Deshalb unterrichte ich sehr geduldig und freundlich und freue mich über jeden kleinen Fortschritt mit euch!
Meldet euch einfach ohne zu zögern. Wir können gemeinsam einen passenden Unterrichtsplan erstellen.
Ich freue mich darauf, euch helfen zu dürfen! :-)
