Sophie - Uccle, Belgium34€

34€Japanese with a former beginner, certified teacher

Trusted teacher: No, Japanese is not an exotic language or one reserved for manga fans, and impossible to really master... even for French speakers! As proof, here I am after several years of learning, diversifying my language course offering. After Dutch, German, English and Russian, I am adding Japanese to my range. ○ I teach full-time; it’s not a hobby ○ Good news: for me, learning is not limited to long lists of vocabulary. My classes take place in a relaxed and caring atmosphere, I am in opposition to the strict-rigid framework of some schools In class, we combine learning grammar (a crucial and comforting foundation for beginners) with numerous practical exercises and role-playing exercises so that the student can manage on their own in the real world. Above all, I transform language into a kind of game/code that must be deciphered. It is then enough to "grasp" the logic... It is "enough" of course - but that is my job - I will take care of it! I have a myriad of paper materials but I prefer PowerPoints and other fun, interactive tools projected on my TV/computer screen when the course is online. ➤ Theory, exercises, supports provided free of charge with our courses ✦ We are a team, get involved; write to me outside of class ✦ ■ By email, text message, or WhatsApp: for your questions, clarifications, requests between classes ■ My courses are tax deductible, I issue invoices. I like to differentiate myself from those distant teachers who don't make you want to learn.

Nihongo Japanese language instructor Japanese tutorial Japanese lesson (San Diego)

Anri あんり

Anri is an excellent teacher: thanks to being very attentive, she adapted immediately to my level and speed of learning. We instantly found a set-up perfectly matching my goals combining both online and in person lessons in Naha. I was very surprised to hear that she only just started teaching last year as her style of teaching felt very experienced. Anri clearly loves her work and that makes all the difference. Just like Okinawa, she is a real sunshine person.
