⭐Lets talk⭐ こんにちは!東京に住んでいる日本人のMomoです🌸 現在は秘書として働きながら、英語とAIについても勉強中です💻 新しいことを学ぶのが大好きで、特に世界中の人と文化交流をするのが私の趣味です。アニメや美味しい食べ物、そして日常のちょっとした出来事についておしゃべりするのが大好きなので、気軽に話しかけてくださいね! 私のレッスンは、カフェで友達とおしゃべりしているような、リラックスした雰囲気が特徴です☕️ 間違いを気にせず、自然体で日本語を楽しんでほしいと思っています。『日本語で日本人の視点から日本について話したい』『もっと自然な表現を知りたい』という方にぴったりです。 例えば、アニメや食べ物、あなたの日常について自由にお話ししたり、実際に日本人が使う“リアル”なフレーズや発音を一緒に練習したりできます。文法だけでなく、あなたの気持ちやストーリーにも耳を傾けることを大切にしています。 私の目標は、あなたにとって一番身近な日本人の友達になることです。言語を学ぶことは、楽しくリラックスした時間であるべきだと考えています。趣味の話やその日の出来事、どんなことでも大歓迎です。一緒に笑顔で“本物”の日本語会話を楽しみましょう😊 レッスンでは、自然な会話や発音にも重点を置いています。次回のレッスンでお会いできるのを楽しみにしています!

Entertaining Japanese! I've been professionally teaching Japanese for about three years. My specialties are casual Japanese and teaching phrases that only native speakers use! I help my students avoid directly translating things, as this often results in creating unnatural expressions (E.g When we hang out and friends look a bit bored, we don't say "Are you bored? We say "Do you wanna do something different? (何か違うことする?)in Japanese). Also, I break down common formal Japanese expressions and explain how you can make casual phrases with them. So that you can see the difference and pick proper expressions when you speak or write!

So don't worry if you have trouble understanding Japanese I can also explain in English as well.

Meaningful Japanese Conversations|Discover Japan, Share Your Culture, Speak Naturally Hello, my name is Kuriko. I love learning how people live, think, and see the world through conversation. In my lessons, we don't just study Japanese—we exchange ideas, compare our cultures, and enjoy meaningful conversations together. Every conversation is a chance to discover something new—about Japan, your country, and even yourself. I naturally guide our conversations from simple topics to deeper discussions, so you'll find yourself expressing ideas you never thought you could say in Japanese. My goal is for you to leave each lesson thinking, "I spoke a lot today!" "I could express difficult ideas in Japanese!" If you… ✓ enjoy meaningful conversations ✓ want natural Japanese ✓ love learning about cultures ✓ want to express your ideas with confidence I would love to meet you. ”Don't just learn Japanese—talk about the world in Japanese.” I want every lesson to give you the confidence and satisfaction of realizing just how much you can communicate in Japanese. 私のレッスンでは、日本語を話すことを通して、お互いの文化や考え方を知り、会話を楽しみます。 日本とあなたの国の文化を比べたり、お互いの価値観について話したり、日常生活やニュース、旅行、食べ物など、さまざまなテーマについて自然な日本語で会話を楽しみます。 だからレッスンでは、一方的に教えるのではなく、お互いの文化や考え方を共有しながら、一緒に会話を広げていきます。 毎週のレッスンが、「勉強」ではなく、「楽しみな時間」になるような会話を、一緒に作っていけたら嬉しいです。
