Private Japanese Lessons That Fit Your Goals and InterestsTranslate this text using Google Translate.

[ABOUT ME] I’m Ryota, a native Japanese speaker living in Mitaka, Tokyo, and I’m here to help you learn Japanese in a fun and practical way. With strong English skills and a deep understanding of what it’s like to learn a second language, I can guide you through the tricky parts and make the process smoother. [ABOUT THE SESSIONS] Our sessions are going to be tailored to your particular goals and interests. If you’re a beginner, we’ll start with easy conversations or watching and discussing videos in Japanese. That way I can help you get used to the rhythm and flow of Japanese. If you’re a more advanced learner, perhaps preparing for the JLPT, we can review past exams together and focus on polishing your grammar and vocabulary to get you ready. I’m also well-versed in Japanese traditions and culture—including anime and manga—so we can easily incorporate those into our lessons if they interest you. And if you’ve recently moved to Japan or are planning to, I can share insights and practical tips to help you navigate life here. (I’ve got plenty of expat friends and know the drill!) If you’re looking for a supportive, chill tutor to guide you on your Japanese journey, I’d love to help. Let’s make learning Japanese an exciting and enjoyable experience together!

Turkish Language & Culture Lessons in English, Italian, JapaneseTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Turkish Language & Culture Lessons in English, Italian, JapaneseTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Turkish learning like never experienced before! No details left unexplained! Grammar in its complete sense! Merhaba! This is a certified mother-tongue teacher of the Turkish language and culture from Bursa. I have been working with numerous language schools in Turkey, in Europe, and in global platforms since 2011. I completed a program for teaching Turkish as a foreign language at Marmara University in Istanbul. I am also the Turkish language delegate for Directors Languages based in the UK, and a member of the Turkish team for Innovative Language Learning headquartered in Japan. I have built an exclusive method for Turkish teaching, being a self-language-learner myself. The lessons are adjustable for any kind of journalistic, touristic, romantic, gastronomic, linguistic, scientific, artistic, religious, historical, cultural, or commercial purposes; any level from hello to Ottoman poetry; background of any other language, way of learning, means of learning in person or via the Internet, and age. My spectrum of students expands from children to CEOs. I prefer proceeding with a constructive and conversational methodology for proper comprehension and confident learning of the Turkish language in the smoothest structure possible. That way, learners will have the freedom to make their own sentences once they are comfortable with the fundamental grammar and logic of the language, as well as the relevant vocabulary. I also enjoy making comparisons between world languages, clarifying to learners the origins of words, similarities in grammar, and contrasts in concepts. I spend great attention to the needs, motivation, and interests of learners so that I can pave the best order of topics, and choose the necessary glossary in a sufficient amount. I guide them to clear their previous confusion about Turkish with simple and logical explanations. I also help them to realize that they are making stable progress and that the things they learn are essential and part of the everyday, living language. I accumulated quite a rich resource of materials both written and audio-visual, including the prominent textbooks in the market, and a collection of various hardcopy and online varieties. Role-play dramatizations of real-life situations comprise an important part of classes. After each lesson, I provide learners with various supportive documents and exercises, as well as audio and visual practices if possible. When necessary, I can produce new material according to the exact needs and interests of my students. I also recommend them external sources to familiarize themselves with the language in their free time like popular songs and TV shows according to their personal tendencies. Overall, I am trying my best for their experience of learning Turkish to be efficient and fun, including related cultural explanations. Instructions can be in English, Italian, and Japanese. If you are interested, contact me kindly. I hope that we can discover this beautiful language and culture together!

Japanese Course Japanese Course from the beginners to intermediate, business / children to adultsTranslate this text using Google Translate.

🇬🇧Hello! I'm Erika from Tokyo. I previously worked in a trading company and in a music agency in Japan. I studied Russian at university (C1 level) and French in Paris (B2 level), so I truly understand how challenging it is to start a new language and continue until you reach an intermediate or even advanced level. I enjoy playing musical instruments, dancing, and doing crafts. As a naturally curious person, I don't want you to give up learning something new just because you feel you may not have enough time for self-study. With me, you can simply keep going at a steady pace — I will remind you of essential points, help you build habits, and guide you in every lesson, so you can make progress without stress or worrying about time management. I can work remotely and can offer lessons early in the morning Japan time, so I am available for students in Europe or America as well. Please feel free to contact me with your preferred schedule. I look forward to supporting your Japanese learning journey! —- 🇫🇷Hello! My name is Erika and I'm from Tokyo. I worked in a trading company as well as in a music agency in Japan.

Learning English, Arabic, and Japanese is important for several reasons. English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, and it is the primary language of international communication. If you can speak English, you can communicate with people from all over the world, which is important in today's globalized society. Arabic is the fifth most widely spoken language in the world and is the language of the Quran, which is the holy book of Islam. Learning Arabic can help you understand Islamic culture and history and can also be an advantage for doing business in the Middle East. Japanese is the ninth most widely spoken language in the world and is the primary language of Japan, which is one of the largest economies in the world. Learning Japanese can give you an advantage in business and can also help you understand and appreciate Japanese culture and history. Learning any language can also have cognitive benefits, such as improving memory and problem-solving skills. In conclusion, learning English, Arabic, and Japanese can be very beneficial both personally and professionally.

Excellent Japanese Teacher – Highly Recommended! I had the pleasure of learning Japanese with Rito, and I couldn't be more satisfied! He is an incredibly passionate and skilled teacher who makes even complex grammar easy to understand. His lessons were well-structured, engaging, and tailored to my needs. What truly sets him apart is his patience and dedication—he takes the time to explain every detail and provides valuable cultural insights alongside language learning. Thanks to his guidance, I’ve gained both confidence and significant improvement in my Japanese skills. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and inspiring Japanese teacher, Rito is the perfect choice! Highly recommended!

Hota is a wonderful person to know, and a great teacher. She has gone above and beyond our expectations and she is always on point in helping me and my husband with understanding the Japanese culture, the people, the language, the places, the lifestyle…. She’s even come to our hotel to teach us, even in the cold snowy day.. she’s really awesome and a lovely person to know. It’s also nice to make a new friend and teacher in Japan.. Thank you so much Hota!

Took the jump and booked my first bundle of Japanese lessons with Emiko-sensei. My first experience was great! She's friendly, supportive, and knowledgeable — everything you'd want in a teacher and more. I look forward to continuing my lessons with her. I am aiming to speak fluently one day, and I have no doubt she'll help me along that path.
