Kokoro - Nāngloi Jāt, India24€

24€For adult learners who want to gain confidence in conversation ★ 8 years of experience living abroad English-speaking & easy-to-understand

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 is now outdated.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!

Toos - Turnhout, Belgium35€

35€Learn Japanese from Beginner to Advanced: Grammar, Kanji and Language Skills.

Japanese is a beautiful language brimming with culture, but unfortunately, it's also difficult to get started. If you're lost for the trees (or the kanji), or haven't even dared to try it yet, but have suddenly been bitten by the Japanese bug, then you've come to the right place. I'll teach you the basics of Japanese and grow completely at your level. You'll receive customized learning materials, and I can provide homework assignments if needed. Once you've mastered the basics, we can expand to cultural nuances and more advanced language skills. You can also "request topics." Is there something specific you'd like to learn? Are you preparing for a vacation, or do you simply want to improve your writing? Let me know!

Florent - Zurich, Switzerland68€

68€Japanese courses – beginners, intermediate and advanced

Trusted teacher: 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.

Japanese language lessons with an experienced teacher. You can learn Japanese in a fun and professional way! (The Hague)

Ai

Ai is a wonderful teacher. She's great at explaining all sorts of grammatical concepts and she's sweet with a good sense of humour to boot. I definitely recommend everyone who's interested in learning how to speak, write or read Japanese to consider taking lessons from her. If you're motivated and do the assigned homework, you'll make a lot of progress in a very small period of time. It's only been two weeks, but I already feel like my Japanese has improved considerably!

Great teacher! Very prepared for each lesson and flexible in helping out with specific language problems. He quickly picks up on your level and then adapts his speaking and teaching to match it, while pushing for greater skills all the while in a fun way and with self designed tests and questions.
