Express Yourself in Cantonese /Japanese - Learn Naturally 🌳

Van 28.82 $ /h

你好、我叫海晴。こんにちは!
我係香港長大嘅混血兒. I was born and raised in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 , half Japanese 🇯🇵. I am totally fluent in Cantonese and Japanese.
I have been living in Japan for the past 8 years.
As a native Japanese speaker who hasn't lived in Japan my entire life, I understand how challenging it can be to learn natural Japanese--or any language --on your own. I’ve spent years struggling with it myself, so I understand. That’s why I’m here—to help you experience Japanese/Cantonese the way it’s really spoken.

With me, you’ll learn things you could never get from a textbook or without having a native speaker around you.
I have 7 years of teaching experience in Cantonese and Japanese. I truly enjoy explaining and sharing knowledge in detail, helping learners absorb and understand step by step. I believe that improving little by little each time is more than enough to make great progress.

In our lessons, we will focus on:

Casual conversation (to improve speaking and listening)
Natural pronunciation
Expressing feelings and thoughts naturally
Learning vocabulary in a way that feels easy and not overwhelming
Staying focused while keeping lessons enjoyable and engaging!
Reading and writing skills (for learners who want to aim higher)

We are having our class on Google Meet. I will send you the code 30 minutes before the lesson start. Please keep in contact on apprentus.

You don’t need to bring any textbooks—I will provide all the materials for you. But if you prefer to use your own textbook, that’s completely fine too.

I will organize each lesson according to your needs. Please feel free to make any requests or ask questions anytime—I’ll be happy to help!

Extra informatie

My goal in teaching a language is not just about completing tasks—I hope it will also be an opportunity to spark your curiosity, inspiring new discoveries.
Growing up biracial has given me the chance to experience and understand complex emotions --the challenges of daily life. Because of that, I want our lessons to be more than just study time. I hope the time we spend together will be a place to feel happy, energetic, and relaxed.
I truly look forward to meeting you and sharing this learning journey with you!

Please do not record the lessons. I also hope to meet people who are honest and sincere.

I was born and raised in Hong Kong and I am half Japanese. I am totally fluent in Cantonese. I have been living in Japan for the past 8 years, studied linguist in through Japanese . As a native Japanese speaker who does not live in Japan for my whole life, even though I’m half Japanese, I know how tough it is to search or learn natural Japanese or any language on your own. I’ve spent years struggling with it myself, so I understand. That’s why I’m here to help you experience Japanese/Cantonese the way it’s really spoken.
I love helping people to achieve their needs where it might be overwhelming to carry by oneself.

I love English! I want you to learn with that feeling. I will help you acquire "English" just for you.

22.33 $ /h

I often worry about how to get started with English. I'm half-Japanese, half-English-speaking (Hong Kong). I was born and raised in Hong Kong, and I've come to realize that even if Japanese is my native language, I can't fully master all of the Japanese idioms. Because I can't live in a language-speaking country, I can only learn each word on my own, doing my best to learn them one by one. Language is more than just vocabulary; it incorporates many elements, such as culture, ways of thinking, perceptions, beliefs, ways of solving problems and making decisions, ways of speaking, communication styles, personality, education, lifestyle, preferences, relationships, and values. Language and language are complex.

In this day and age, AI functions are available for translation and even consultations, but the desire to "familiarize yourself with a language, use it freely as you please, and connect well with people who speak the same language" can often feel like it's not something you can easily understand, no matter how hard you try. I want to help each and every one of you move forward with your worries, goals, and dreams, even if it's just a step at a time. I will tailor the content to suit you. I want to support each and every one of you in your unique love and curiosity for English, and the person you want to become. In this class, rather than simply having you listen to, speak, practice, and memorize words, I aim to help you gradually become closer to being an English speaker through the process of experiencing and understanding the characteristics of English, the way you think and feel when using it, the way a conversation progresses and the direction of a conversation, and your values. I hope that you will take the first step toward being able to express your own thoughts, beliefs, and feelings in English in a way that is comfortable and authentic to you.

I passed the Japanese teaching test and taught 1000 lessons and have 100 students over the world (including all platforms) so you can have a professional lesson at a reasonable price and we can focus on your personal goal from beginners to fluent speakers.
My favorite topics to chat about are J-POP/Rock. I even used to hang out with super famous musicians .I can't tell who they are for their privacy, but we can talk about Japanese music, backstage and Japanese music industry.

I also translate subtitles for movies.

For beginners, I use teaching materials and focus on the Genki textbook. But I can customize the lesson without it.
For JLPT I use a JLPT textbook. I published a book about how to get high scores on exams using only short-term study and it's a best seller on Amazon so I certainly know plenty of tips. Let's study efficiently together!

For students who finished Genki-->We will start another textbook for intermediate degrees

Also, I'm studying Java programming, so I am teaching programming Japanese terms to students.
so my lesson helps you to work with Japanese programmers!

Me as a Teacher
I know many Japanese learners have headaches for particles like the difference between 'が' and 'は', 'に'and 'で', 自動詞(はいる)and 他動詞(いれる). As a professional teacher, I am willing to explain and practice with you.

The style chart of my lesson is like below.
My Lessons & Teaching Style
Complete beginner:
--->Yes-->Start with the easiest letter.We can order foods in the end of the lesson. (talk about a textbook for next lessons)
---->Yes, but personal purpose&goal--->Let's target to it!

Not a complete beginner:
-->Students who finished Genki-->We will start another textbook for intermediate degrees
-->For travel to JP-->Role play for a variety of travel situations
-->JLPT -->N1/N2/N3 -->Practicing the exam & discussion based on each level
-->JLPT -->N4/N5 -->Practicing the exam & conversation based on each level
-->Can do daily conversations-->Choose a topic from a list and conversation
-->Still learning daily conversations-->Genki textbook and actual conversation based on it(I recommend the textbook but tell me if it's difficult. I can customize the lesson.

*I basically teach online but I also teach once a week at library in Rotterdam. Please contact me about the availability.

My name is Ron, a dedicated Dutch tutor based in Suriname. Originally trained as an HVAC engineer with the intention of continuing my father’s legacy, I transitioned into teaching during the pandemic after discovering my passion for language education. This shift allowed me to embrace remote work while connecting with learners globally. With a friendly and adaptable approach, I prioritize creating engaging, personalized lessons that foster confidence in conversational Dutch. Outside of teaching, I take pride in my family life as a happily married professional who finds fulfillment in helping others achieve their language goals.

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!
