I teach Japanese and translate it together with my husband. I gained insight into how foreigners experience Japan and its language by teaching Boeing employees in Nagoya and Syrian family.

For formal lessons, I make individual lesson plans for each student and use pdf, real-life materials (menus, etc.) and textbooks.
For informal sessions, I don't make lesson plans. Students prepare a topic and focus on conversation. Informal sessions are aimed at intermediate to advanced students, as a certain level of proficiency is required to manage a somewhat fluid conversation.My teaching material
