👩‍🏫 Certified Japanese Teacher｜Japanese for Real Connection ☕ You’re having coffee with a Japanese friend. You’ve finished your drinks, and it’s probably time to go. What would you say? If you’re wondering what a Japanese person would actually say, you may be ready to go beyond textbook Japanese. Hello, I’m Nana, a nationally certified Japanese teacher based in Japan. I currently teach international students at a Japanese language school, a vocational school, and a university in Japan. 🌿 Beyond “correct Japanese” My lessons are for learners who already speak some Japanese and want to improve how they communicate with Japanese people. In real communication, Japanese people often: ・soften expressions ・leave things unsaid ・change wording depending on the person or situation ・use expressions you may not find in textbooks These small differences can change how your Japanese comes across to the other person. My lessons are based on polite, respectful Japanese. From there, I help you adjust your expressions to fit the person, situation, and relationship. ✨ My approach Through conversation, I help you: ・refine expressions you already know ・notice how Japanese people actually communicate ・choose wording that fits the situation ・express your thoughts and feelings more effectively I help you update the Japanese you already know for real communication. ✈ My background I’m a former Japan Airlines cabin attendant with professional experience in polite, situation-appropriate communication. 日本語を「正しく話す」だけではなく、 相手と気持ちを共有し、関係を築ける日本語へ🕊️
