Learn Japanese culture and language ! (Beginners/intermediate/Advanced)

Hello there! はじめまして!
I am Risa from Tokyo, Japan.

I have various experiences in teaching Japanese culture and language from children to adults in English and Spanish.
I'm learning various languages as a non-native speaker, so I know how learning foreign languages can be challenging, but at the same time, so fun! :) The key to fluency is repetitive practices, from my experience.

What is your purpose to learn Japanese culture and language? In the first session, let me know your specific needs and objectives so as we can take the best way to achieve these goals.
Together we will practice the diverse proficiency skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking).
The class will be semi-structured and flexible according to your needs and goals.

Feel free to contact me!
