REAL JAPANESE WITH ME!! Officially Certified & Registered Teacher✨ Teaching over 300 learners😊 🇯🇵 Learn REAL Japanese with a certified Japanese teacher! All levels are welcome! ✔ Beginners ✔ Intermediate ✔ Advanced Hi! I'm Masaharu, a officially registered Japanese teacher currently teaching at a Japanese language school in Japan. Please call me Macha or Masa😊 I have taught over 300 learners and helped students improve their conversation, JLPT preparation, and natural Japanese expressions. If you want to speak Japanese naturally and confidently, my lessons are for you! I love anime, games, and JPOP, and would love to hear all kinds of recommendations from you guys! Learning a foreign language can be very difficult. Learning a language becomes more enjoyable when you are into the country and its culture. I myself have had the experience of learning languages, starting with English and then learning other languages as well. When you learn a new language, it is exciting to receive the feeling that your world is gradually expanding inside you! Although mainly focus on a conversation, I will be flexible and adjust our lessons to meet everyone's individual needs! I will teach a wide range of topics such as daily & business conversation, preparation for JLPT and other exams, and frank expressions, as well as deepening your understanding of Japanese culture. We will also talk a lot about anime, manga, food, and other aspects of Japanese culture that you like! I look forward to having a good time talking with you guys! 皆さんとお話しできることを楽しみにしてます😄

Through my experience as a voice trainer, I've learned how the tongue position and mouth form affects articulation. That would help me to show you the differences between Japanese and other languages. I can also teach you the proper Japanese standard pitch accent and various intonations and how to adapt them to different situations.

オリジナル教材のスピーキング特訓で「話すための日本語」を教えます!中級以上の方には細かい文法解説やテーマに沿った会話練習でより自然な日本語を教えます! I've been teaching more than 20 years now. As a language teacher, I started teaching Japanese in Brazil in 2014. But I also taught music, English and other materials for kids in Japan, so teaching was always my passion. I started teaching online in 2019, and now I teach every single day. I love to see the students' progress so every level is welcome in my lesson. Recently I started to learn Chinese and French online, too, in order to, of course, improve my language skills but also to understand my students' difficulties. I've been discovering a lot of things by learning languages as a student, and that's helping me to set my mind and to reflect to and to improve my own lesson.

U.S -Based Linguist, Medical Interpreter, TESOL Chinese/Japanese/English Professional Teacher I hold two Masters degrees from the University of Colorado - Japanese Language and Civilization, and Linguistics. The former provided me with extensive training in translation, interpretation, and literary analysis from both historical and modern perspectives. Linguistics offered me the theoretical and practical basis for teaching a foreign language. I am especially interested in applying phonetic and phonological strategies to classroom teaching in order to prepare students for a native-like pronunciation and intuition. I am a native Chinese Mandarin speaker with Japanese heritage. With the educational training mentioned above, I am capable of teaching both languages.

🍣Beginner & Polite Japanese 🏝️Okinawan language 🍙Master Japanese in English 🍜University Professor 1) I've been a Japanese teacher at a college school in the US Air Force base in Japan. 2) My primary focus is to build vocabulary so students can boldly lead discussions, and speak fluently. 3) I've trained exchange students, engineers, college students, children, and so on. 4) I've also worked as a guesthouse staff and office worker in Japan, so I'm used to explaining Japanese culture and manners to tourists and expatriates :) 5) I was ever praised by my friends and students for my teaching methods. As a result, most of my friends were able to pass the JLPT-N1 and N2 test with my support and some of them are working as skilled workers in Japan.
