    Yuka
    Private Japanese Lesson in Osaka for beginner/intermediate
    Hi! I’m Yuka, native Japanese. I was born and raised in Kyushu (south part of Japan) and now living in Osaka. I studied in Canada when I was a university student so English is available. If you are a beginner, I recommend studying Japanese in your language. (or the language you can understand well) If you go to a Japanese school in Japan, it's basically teaching in Japanese even for beginners and teachers don't understand English but I think that's not efficient. Of course, I try to make you use Japanese as much as you can because speaking is the most important thing. In my lesson, you get many opportunities to practice speaking! Now English is only available for my lesson but I'm studying Chinese and German so hopefully I will use them as well in the future! 中級者なら日本語でレッスンしますが、英語で質問しても大丈夫です。Once you start to speak Japanese, Japanese people just say "日本語上手ですね" and nobody corrects your Japanese even if you make many mistakes, so I can teach you proper Japanese for the intermediate level. I also have a license of teaching Japanese calligraphy, so if you're interested we can also have a class of it. きれいな文字や習字に興味がある人は、ぜひ! I also study other languages so I can understand how you feel. That's why I can be flexible for you, even in the middle of the lesson, you can always suggest things(what you wanna study, how you wanna study, etc...), then we can make the perfect lesson for you :) Please don’t hesitate to contact me. The best way to learn a new language is to speak and practice! Let’s enjoy our conversation! I’m looking forward to becoming your tutor and helping you with your learning experience :) We can meet face-to-face in cafes if you live in Kansai area(Osaka 大阪, Kobe 神戸, Hyogo 兵庫, Kyoto 京都). I usually have lesson in Umeda 梅田. Let me know if you have a preferred learning method/ textbook.

    Ayaka
    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.

    Japanese Lessons - Born in Tokyo, I have a Master's degree in Language Education and am certified in Japanese language teaching
    A passionate teacher of Japanese (my native language), I offer personalized, interactive courses adapted to all levels. 🍡 Build your grammar foundations My comprehensive courses are based on books such as Minna no Nihongo or Irodori, as well as my own materials (slideshows, personalized documents). We approach vocabulary, grammar, conversation and listening in a progressive and interactive way. Are you a beginner? No worries, we will work from the basics using French or English to help you. If you already have some knowledge, we will choose together the grammar points on which you will focus to progress effectively :) 🍡 Advanced Reading and Listening For learners who already have a solid foundation, these courses help strengthen your reading and listening skills. If you have texts or content that you would like to explore, we will use them in class. Otherwise, I will provide you with resources adapted to your level and interests! 🍡 JLPT exam preparation Prepare effectively for the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test), a recognized exam that validates your level of Japanese. Whether it's to boost your chances for studies, a job or simply to challenge yourself, my courses will guide you with targeted exercises and strategies adapted to your level. In the first lesson, we will discuss in Japanese/French/English to assess your level of Japanese, your expectations for the Japanese course, as well as the books we will use. Each one-hour lesson takes place online or at my home in Prilly. Organize your classes at your own pace: once a week, every two weeks, or even in intensive sessions lasting several hours! I look forward to supporting you in your learning of Japanese, and sharing my culture with you! 🌸

    Online chit-chat practice with native Japanese tutor
    This online conversation class is for those who would like to try often and talk more.

Shall we 挑戦?

    Speak Natural and Polite Korean with a Native Tutor
    ✅ Want to speak polite and natural Korean like a native? People often get so caught up in the methodology of learning Korean language, but it's not about what method you use. It's about how much input you get and how often you practice it. Many Korean textbooks for foreign learners include expressions that sound unnatural or even rude in real conversations. I'll help you avoid these and speak clearly and respectfully, just like real Koreans do. ✅ Who is this tutor and what is this session? I'm Yeon, a native Korean tutor with 4 years of experience and an intermediate level of English. In this session, you'll practice Korean through real, structured conversation. The tone is relaxed but focused, with clear guidance and mutual respect. I'll gently correct your sentences and pronunciation as you speak, helping you sound more natural and confident. You'll pick up everyday language that's actually used in real conversations. Advanced learners can also work on tone, nuance, and fluency. This session is for respectful, sincere learners at any level. ✅ What you'll get: - Real-time speaking practice with live corrections - Natural and polite Korean expressions - Sentence-building and grammar guidance - Gentle correction during conversation - Simple review notes after each session - Cultural context from a native speaker - Zoom sessions from anywhere ✅ Lessons are online via Zoom. - I'm in Korea. (KST time zone) - Please be on time so we can use the full 60 minutes efficiently. - Please contact me before booking to schedule your session time. Let's build your Korean step by step. As your tutor, I'll guide you with care! Thank you, Yeon

I studied cross-cultural communication at a university in Tokyo and followed a Japanese language teacher education program established by the Japanese government. These courses are intended for people who want to learn Japanese but also Japanese culture. Are you passionate about manga or cooking? Or do you want to chat with your Japanese or Japanese friends?
