When I am not teaching or working, you can find me doing art, buying stoneware, listening to music, or watching silent vlogs. I also travel every once in a while (aka every time our budget permits) my favorite destination is Japan, specifically, Nagasaki.

I am looking forward to seeing you in my class and to be hearing stories from you. Studying while having fun is possible and I can't wait to share this joy of learning with you!

I offer Japanese lessons that focus on grammar and vocabulary—both common difficulties—as well as spoken language. The goal of the course is to cover the technical aspects of the language without being overly theoretical or academic.

In my lessons, I combine the theoretical aspect of the language, which is essential for speaking correctly, with the practical aspect, which enables one to express oneself clearly and interact effectively with native speakers – while maintaining a certain distance from both sides.

Through my experience in interpreting from Japanese and my stays in Japan, I can convey a natural and spontaneous approach to the language.

The course focuses on grammar, vocabulary, and writing (kanji). From the perspective of an Indo-European language speaker, the course aims to help learners acquire the structure of the Japanese language naturally, freeing themselves from any possible unconscious biases inherent in their own language.

I also place particular emphasis on the connection between written and spoken language—an aspect that often seems surprising in Japanese—so as not to separate the two elements.

こんにちは!(Konnichiwa - Hello!) I'm Megumi. I'm a certified Japanese teacher and have been teaching for 5 years. I was born and raised in Japan, lived in Poland for 4 years and currently live in the canton of Zurich. I love teaching Japanese and also learning foreign languages. I started learning German recently and I know it's a great experience to learn a new language, and also how hard it is to master it.

I can teach you grammar, vocabulary, conversation and much more. In my lessons, I teach Japanese using Japanese. It makes you feel the language better. But if you'd prefer, I can add some explanations in English. The most important thing is that you feel relaxed and enjoy our lessons. I'd like to know what makes you to start learning Japanese. Please tell me in our first lesson!

I offer lessons online or in resturant/cafe around Uster.

I’m Kurt, based in Munich. I teach Mandarin Chinese and Japanese with a linguistic background. Find learning an exotic, Asian language cool but don't know where to get started with? Or are you already been frustrated by them: why Japanese drops the subject all the time? Why Chinese has no past tense while you still know when it happened? And more importantly, while Pinyin or Hiragana seems sufficient for writing the language, why do I have to learn the stupid Hanzi or Kanji at all? I got you. We start speaking ‘why the hell does the language work like that’ starting from the first minute, maximum actual talking and laughing.
