Nice to Meet You This is the first time for me to write here. I decided to use the site to find some personal language exchange partners or tutors, not to find a teacher. At my university, I took some course which for teaching Japanese for foreigners and I already have some experiences of teaching Japanese for English natives. However, I am not interesting in earning money as a teacher via the site. I am interested in having a win-win relationship with English native speakers who are keen on learning Japanese and know how to write academic writing in English and English grammar.

Nice to Meet You

This is the first time for me to write on here. I decided to use the site to find some personal language exchange partners or tutors, not to find a teacher ( tutor is another word for teacher- did you mean not a professional teacher?). At my university, I took some Japanese courses on how to teach Japanese to foreigners.   which for teaching Japanese for foreigners and I already have some experiences of teaching Japanese to English natives. However, I am not interested in earning money as a teacher via the site. I am interested in having a win-win relationship with English native speakers who are keen on learning Japanese and know how to write academicly writing in English with proper English grammar.

Nice to Meet You

This is the first time for me to write/my first time writing here. I decided to use the site to find some personal language exchange partners or tutors - not to find a teacher <em>(perfect)</em>. At my university, I took some courses which for in teaching Japanese for/<em>to</em> foreigners' and I already have some experiences of teaching Japanese to<em> </em>native speakers of English <em>('natives' as a noun has other connotations so use it as an adjective)</em>. However, I am not interested in earning money as a teacher via this site. (Instead) I am interested in having a win-win relationship with English native speakers who are keen on learning Japanese and know how to write are experienced in academic writing in English and English grammar.

 

Japanese <em>for</em> - the preposition is 'for' ok if the whole phrase is like a book or subject title, hence I have inserted quotation marks.  Otherwise use 'to' and omit the quotes.

 

<em>Adjectives of 'feeling' often come in -ed/-ing pairs (eg bored/boring), and their use is frequently</em>

<em>confused.  You used interesting, but interested is the correct one. -ing relates to cause, -ed denotes outcome </em>

 

<em>Difficult to avoid the ambiguities inherent in 'English' and 'native'.  I think it is best to say it once and then leave it implicit thereafter.</em>
