Japanese lessons from beginners to advanced people who love Japan
It would be a great pleasure to share my language and culture with you!
The classes are semi-structured and can be scheduled flexibly, depending how you would like to study.
The aim of the class is to be able to speak and understand the language in an intuitive manner. In the lessons we therefore mainly focus on conversational training. I also provide some (home) excises and practice it together.
We can focus on different aspects of Japanese - both language and culture -depending on your preference. Culture is important because in Japanese, the way how you speak is just as important as what you actually say.
During the lesson we will handle a variety of subjects, practice vocabulary and pronunciation as well as deal with both intermediate and advanced issues with grammar and expressions in an interactive and engaging way.
Along the way I hope you will come to like Japan even more than before!

Practice your Japanese with interactive conversations!One of the fastest way to learn a language is to practice the speaking. In this class you will be focusing on how to talk about different topics in beginner or intermediate levels. Themes range from daily conversations, getting-around, travelling, lifestyle to news.
Both formal or informal speaking skills will also be covered according to your needs.
Aside from interactive conversations, a part of the class will be focusing on grammar and vocabulary improvements. Pronunciations and sentence structures will also be focused on.
The content of the classes can also be tailored according to your learning goals and expectations.

Private lessons to learn Japanese culture and languageKonnichiwa!こ ん に ち は!
Are you going to Japan? Do you like Mangas? The culture and the Japanese language attract you but you never dared to start?
On the contrary, you already have a good foundation and want to take the JLPT exam? Or maybe you have to speak Japanese at work?
My courses are adaptable according to your level and your objectives:
- Discovery of culture and language (great beginners and false beginners)
- Improvement to prepare JLPT 1-5 exams
- Professional needs
We can work writing and speaking, with a method (Japan Foundation) or any other desired medium.
Whatever your motivation and level, Maki Sensei is here to help! (^ O ^)

This class is focusing on your speaking ability. Do you want to use Japanese in daily life? At work or school? Let me know your situation that you use Japanese, and practice practical Japanese!

Japanese for beginners, kids, adults and anyone who is interested in the language and wants to start their learning journey!I am a fellow student who loves learning Japanese and wants to help others with their learning journey!
I’ve been learning Japanese for 4 years now, and have been to Japan to study at a language school.
I’d like to help others who love Japanese just like I do, but don’t have an easy access, or motivation to do it on their own.

Human medicine materials, biology +. Biochemistry + biostatistics and others for university students, as well as the English language for all levels and the Japanese language.In language learning lessons, it is determined according to the student’s level and desire. You can start from the first level for beginners.
In Japanese language lessons, the book we learn from is Minna no Nihongo, which is considered a very rich book and suitable for learners of the Japanese language from scratch, and it provides a rich experience in grammar, words, and kanji that is appropriate for this stage.
