Japanese language free conversation Class for all of everyone.

Why don't you have a free conversation in Japanese without being bound by grammar and pronunciation?
The theme of the conversation can be decided by the learners or I can think of it.
I think it's a good idea to decide on a theme in advance so that the lessons will be conducted smoothly before you start the lessons.
You are the protagonist. And I'm a listener.
Let's try little by little so that we can think and express Japanese in Japanese. This is the secret to improving your Japanese conversation.

Extra information

I have over 100 topics or more for students to talk. If you do not have any idea, please don't worry! ^ ^
Before class, please prepare your notebook and a pencil.

About Me

Konnichiwa from Japan.

I can confidently teach from children to adults.
The key to improving your Japanese is to make an effort to think of Japanese in Japanese.

I have worked Japanese companies, a kindergarten teacher, cram school and a Japanese language school in Tokyo.
Especially, I worked at a cram school for 12 years, teaching Japanese children between the ages of 2 and 12 a subject called "Kokugo." It is our national language.

I am a Japanese living in Japan. I love teaching the Japanese language. I am serious about teaching and would like to meet new learners.

I am experienced in teaching conversational Japanese, general Japanese, reading Japanese newspaper and JLPT exam preparation. I have a good understanding of second language acquisition, teaching methodologies.


As you may know, the language is beautiful. Let's have fun together!
​My hobbies are Japanese cooking it is called ''Washoku'', traveling, going to hot springs and walking with my two cute little doggies. I am an eager teacher and will do my best for learners.

My goal is to make people confident and happy to speak. Everyone is different and prefers different types of lessons, I have no ​problem using classroom books or just working to improve. I have taught a number of countries students so I am aware of the difficulties that can arise. Language should be interesting and fun to use. I want to make the class enjoyable.​ I'm ready to help you with a fresh mind, a ​positive attitude and a smile. Thank you.

Let's work together to make you sound more like a native Japanese speaker.
Thank you so much.

I look forward to seeing you soon.

Ms. Noriko is a very nice teacher. I have only had four lessons up till now but they helped me tremendously with understanding some harder Japanese grammar point that I always struggled with. She is very understanding and will try her hardest to answer all your questions. ~ Em
Noriko is a great teacher! She's really nice and tries her best to accommodate you with the lessons and with your learning goals. Plus, it's great to learn from someone that currently lives in Japan. It makes the experience more real. Domo arigato for being my teacher ^^
First class with Noriko San went well and smooth. Noriko San is very responsible and patient. Cool!
I want to use "Minna no Nihongo" as a textbook. I will take good care of each lesson and provide sufficient support to ensure that you can acquire it. First of all, it is important to become familiar with Japanese. I want to give lessons that match your learning pace.
If you are worried about Japanese particles and grammar, please join this class. There will be two textbooks used in this class, but we recommend that those who have learned the basics of Japanese participate. The basics of Japanese are, for example, "Minna no Nihongo I / II" and "Genki na nihongo I / II".
日本からこんにちは! I am a Japanese native speaker and I live in Japan. I am experienced in teaching Conversational Japanese, General Japanese, JLPT ( Japanese Language Proficiency Test)preparation. I have been welcoming learners from a variety of levels, age groups, and professions with their individual study goals. If you want to use your own textbooks for your lessons, please tell me. I have good free internet materials also.

R. Mauricio
Basic Japanese language course (for absolute beginners)
The Japanese language is one of the most difficult languages to learn due to the complexity of its writing system and the many erroneous learning methods based on the acquisition of Western languages. I have developed a different learning system taking into account the acquisition of kanji in a functional way. You will be able to learn the basics of the Japanese language by studying its culture and kanji. You will quickly be writing basic kanji and using it from the beginning of learning the language. Likewise, you will quickly be able to understand basic issues of Japanese behavior in society and its traditional culture in a general way within an A1-N5 level.

Let's learn Japanese with a native through a casual talk
-------About me ----------------- Name: Ayaka Origin: Osaka Japanese: Standard Japanese, Kansai dialect Jobs: Flight Attendant (past), Yoga Instructor (active) Hobbies: Traveling, Yoga, Photography, Walking and hiking, Cooking, Skiing, Animal lover ----------About the Lesson--------------------- The main focus will be on "Speaking." Q. Why is speaking the main focus? A. We want you to experience the joy of speaking Japanese through free talk. Just learning words from manga is not easy to understand what natives say in daily life. I will assist you in learning vocabulary and acquiring natural expressions by speaking with native Japanese speakers. -----A message to the students at the end----- I love cultural exchange and have a friendly personality. Having traveled to various countries and learning German, I understand the challenges and joys of learning a new language firsthand. This makes me happy to be able to help you learn Japanese. I look forward to the day when we can have enjoyable conversations together.

Alethea
Japanese Class from a native Japanese speaker living in Utrecht!
Japanese language, Japanese culture, anime etc has been increasingly popular in many countries worldwide lately. Japanese is a difficult yet very beautiful and interesting language to learn. If you would like to learn Japanese, and learn about the life in Japan in general, you came to the right place! I give fun easy going lessons by mostly encouraging you to speak, because taking it into practice and talking is the quickest way to learn! It's a safe non judgemental space to make mistakes as much as you have to!
