Emiko - Tokyo32€

32€Private Japanese Lesson ― Conversation, Reading Comprehension, Writing, Academic Japanese

Trusted teacher: Hello, my name is Emi. I live in Tokyo and work in an office while also teaching Japanese. I majored in Economics at university and have over 20 years of experience working in back-office roles. Along the way, I enrolled in an art university and completed a master’s program in art studies while working. After working as a part-time university lecturer, I am currently writing my doctoral dissertation. About My Lessons Drawing on what I’ve learned through my professional experience and academic background, I offer practical and personalized lessons tailored to each learner’s needs. I provide lessons mainly in Japanese, but I can also support learners in English when necessary. You can feel relaxed and enjoy the learning process at your own pace. ◆Conversation Lessons: From Small Talk to Office Communication Target: Learners who want to improve their conversational skills in natural Japanese Content: Small talk, workplace interactions, phone and email communication, polite expressions, and selecting appropriate language depending on the situation, etc. In Japanese, honorifics and expressions vary subtly based on context and the relationship(level of familiarity or social distance) with the listener. My lessons help you naturally master these nuances by exploring the cultural values and thought patterns behind the language, while practicing realistic conversations. ◆Lessons Using the ‘GENKI’ Textbook Practice Sections Target: learners who being studing with GENKI or who want to review. Content: Adapted practice sections that are often difficult to tackle alone, focusing on sentence patterns and other grammar points. The goal is to reinforce what you have learned and help you use it confidently in conversation. ◆Reading Comprehension Lessons (News Articles / Novels / Essays, etc.) Target: Learners who want to deepen their understanding of written Japanese and enhance vocabulary and expression Content: Using authentic Japanese texts such as news articles, novels, and essays, we work on vocabulary, grammar, and contextual understanding to improve reading comprehension. You will also develop the ability to interpret cultural nuances and implied meanings, and engage in discussions to enhance your critical thinking and expressive skills. ◆Academic Japanese Target: University or graduate students, or those who need to prepare presentations or read and write papers ※For more details, please feel free to contact me. Lastly, a Few Words About My Approach to Teaching Japanese Having studied English and Spanish myself, I deeply appreciate the complexity and subtlety of Japanese expressions and culture. Japanese reflects unique cultural values and ways of thinking, and direct translations are often insufficient. By learning the cultural and contextual background behind expressions, you can achieve more natural and precise communication beyond just knowing vocabulary and grammar. Therefore, my lessons emphasize sharing the cultural nuances behind the language. This approach makes communication in Japanese more enjoyable and meaningful. Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you are interested in my lessons, please feel free to contact me.!!

34€Japanese lessons for beginners to advanced (All ages welcome!)

Konnichiwa! I’m a fun, friendly Japanese teacher with over five years of experience teaching private and group lessons. I offer engaging online Japanese classes for beginners to advanced learners, focusing on real-life communication, confidence, and enjoying the learning process. Lessons are dynamic, personalised, and designed to keep you motivated and making progress. If you are looking for the class for conversation-only, JLPT prep, or absolute beginners, totally fine! Let's start your Japanese journey together! In my lessons, you can have tailor-made lessons that meet your needs, goals, and learning pace. Whether you want to master grammar, improve conversation skills, or prepare for exams like the JLPT or GCSE Japanese, I design lessons that are both effective and enjoyable. I normally use the “Genki” and “Marugoto” textbooks for beginners, and “Tobira” for intermediate, with a lot of talking and listening in the lessons, using my own teaching slides on TV/online. I believe that learning a language is more than just studying words — it’s about connecting with culture and communication. Through engaging activities - some traditional Japanese games, Origami, calligraphy, etc, cultural insights, and interactive lessons, I aim to help my students gain both fluency and confidence in using Japanese. Available for both online and in-person lessons, I’m passionate about supporting every learner on their unique Japanese language journey. Outside of teaching, I love skiing, tennis, and scuba diving, and I’m a big dog lover. These hobbies help me stay active, curious, and inspired in my everyday life. •Native Japanese language instruction (Beginner to Advanced) •Tailor-made lesson planning •JLPT & GCSE exam preparation •Grammar and conversational teaching •Online and in-person lessons

Kokoro - Nāngloi Jāt, IndiaRecently active24€

24€Travel Japanese, daily conversation, kanji, Japanese culture

Trusted teacher: What are your goals? Let's work together hand in hand to achieve them! In my lessons... 📕🇯🇵 “Is textbook Japanese different from real Japanese?” Sometimes it is! The textbook phrase “つまらないものですが” (“It's nothing special, but...”) is now outdated. Instead, ‘気に入ってくれるとうれしいです’ (“I'd be happy if you like it”) sounds more natural and leaves a better impression ☺️ You'll enjoy learning this kind of “real Japanese.” 🇯🇵🗾 How do you say “How are you?” in Japanese? What should you say for casual greetings? I'll gently explain cultural backgrounds and how to read emotions, making Japanese communication more enjoyable and understandable. 3 Create natural sentences with fun topics! “Conjunctions are tough...” “Is this phrasing correct?” When you feel that way, let's create sentences using fun themes! “My Favorite Things” or “My Dreams” With unique practice like this, you'll naturally pick up Japanese expressions. 4 Your Personal Feedback Notebook During lessons, I'll correct the words you speak into natural, correct Japanese and write them in your notebook. Hiragana included if needed. Reading them aloud after lessons ensures you truly master usable Japanese. I specialize in lessons that are “gentle, polite, fun, and bright.” Students often tell me, “I feel more confident!” and “I enjoy speaking now!” Let's level up your Japanese together using a learning style that suits you!
