🌸Free talk&Conversation🇯🇵 /🌊Anime & Travel Japanese/🇨🇳中文・ English OK/🙌🏻Beginner-friendly 🍒我的学习方式比较特殊,我把自己当作“实验者”,通过自我教学不断试错,形成了自己的学习体系。从零基础到接近母语水平的日语,就是这套方法的成果。我同时会中文、英文和日语,因此也能够无障碍地指导中文或英文母语者学习日语。 🍒My learning journey is unique because I treated myself as an “experiment subject,” constantly teaching myself and testing different learning approaches. Through this, I developed my own method that helped me reach near-native Japanese from zero. Since I speak Chinese, English, and Japanese, I can explain my method clearly to learners who speak either Chinese or English. 🍒私の学習方法は少し特別で、自分自身を「実験者」として独学しながら試行錯誤を重ね、独自の学習メソッドを作り上げました。ゼロからほぼネイティブレベルまで成長できたのは、この方法のおかげです。中国語・英語・日本語が話せるため、中国語圏や英語圏の学習者にもわかりやすく指導できます。

I am a very friendly and patient teacher. I’ve been a language teacher for more than 20 years and I love it! I taught students from one-year-old kids to adults in person. For online lessons, I usually teach students from eight-year-old to adults. There's nothing like seeing my students getting excited about learning Japanese in my class. It gives me such a sense of accomplishment. My motto for learning Japanese is to make mistakes without worrying too much and to speak a lot in Japanese. Have fun with it :)

Stop translating. Start speaking natural Japanese. Hi! I’m a native Japanese tutor living in Germany. I have studied English, German, and Korean, and one thing I have learned is that languages cannot always be translated word for word. Even when a sentence is grammatically correct, it may sound unnatural because every language has its own way of expressing ideas, feelings, and politeness. That is why my lessons focus on natural Japanese for real communication. During our conversations, I can help you with: ✓ Natural expressions ✓ Vocabulary and grammar corrections ✓ Pronunciation and intonation ✓ How a Japanese speaker would express the same idea ✓ Repeated mistakes and useful review points Instead of translating everything from your first language, let’s practice expressing your ideas directly in Japanese. You don’t need perfect Japanese. Let’s turn the Japanese you know into Japanese you can actually use! 日本語 こんにちは。ドイツ在住の日本人チューターです。 私はこれまで英語・ドイツ語・韓国語を学んできました。その中で強く感じたのは、言葉は単語をそのまま置き換えれば自然になるわけではないということです。 文法的には正しくても、文化や場面によっては不自然に聞こえることがあります。 だからこそ私のレッスンでは、「正しい日本語」だけではなく、実際の会話で自然に使える日本語を大切にしています。 会話をしながら、 ✓ 自然な表現 ✓ 語彙・文法の訂正 ✓ 発音・イントネーション ✓ 日本人ならどう表現するか ✓ 繰り返しやすい間違い を一緒に確認します。 母語から一文ずつ訳すのではなく、少しずつ日本語で考え、日本語らしく伝える練習をしていきましょう。 「知っている日本語」を「使える日本語」に変えていきましょう!
