日本語、楽しんで身につけよう! Let's learn Japanese in a fun and effective way! 日本語を教えながら、日々、その面白さを実感しています。 日本は伝統的なものと現代的なものが共存するおもしろい国です。 日本語も独特なおもしろい言葉です。3つの文字が1つの文に共存して、そのおかげでその文がわかりやすくなるのです! あなたと一緒に日本語を学びながら、そのおもしろさを伝えていけたら、そして言語だけでなく、日本の文化や今のことなどを話せたらいいな、と思います。 あなたの文化や食べ物についても教えてもらえたら嬉しい! レッスンでお待ちしています! Japanese language is uniquely interesting. In a single sentence, you’ll often find three different writing systems working together to make the meaning clearer! I hope that as we learn Japanese together, I can share this charm with you. It would be wonderful not ony to explore the language but also to talk about Japanese culture and current topics. And of course, I’d be thrilled if you could share your culture and favorite foods with me too! See you in my class!

Fun & Friendly Japanese Conversation Tutor | Beginner Welcome:) Hello, everyone! Thank you for visiting my profile!😊 Nice to meet you! My name is Haruka. はじめまして、はるかです! I’m a native Japanese speaker from Tokyo, currently living in the U.S. I love talking with people from different countries and learning new perspectives through conversation. I believe language learning becomes much more enjoyable when you can “actually use it” with real people. That’s why I became a Japanese tutor on italki. I have a teaching license and majored in Education at university. I also completed practical training at both an elementary school and a junior high school, where I learned how to explain things clearly and support learners with patience. 🌿 My lessons are mainly conversation-based. We can talk about any topic you like, your daily life, hobbies, culture, travel, or anything you’re interested in. I will adjust my speaking speed and vocabulary to your level, so beginners are always welcome. If you want, I can also use textbooks or help you prepare for specific goals (travel, daily conversation, interviews, etc.). Just let me know in advance! My goal is to create a relaxed, friendly space where you can feel safe speaking Japanese—even if you make mistakes. Don’t worry about being perfect. Let’s enjoy speaking Japanese together!😊 I’m really looking forward to meeting you and becoming your “tomodachi.”

I’m Japanese where I lived my youth then I moved to Brazil. Moving from one country to another help me to understand the importance of learning new languages.

If your and advance student preparing to take the N1 or if you had never study Hiragana it would be a pleasure to help you.

Conversation × Kanji Specialist | Efficient Study for Passing the JLPT 🇯🇵 Hello! I am a self-employed Japanese teacher and website operator. I previously worked for 4 years at Japanese companies (bank and construction). Now, I support learners with over 1,000 hours of teaching experience! 🔸Features of My Lessons I focus on the following two points: ① Speaking-focused (practical conversation) I prioritize actual speaking, not just grammar explanation. Because grammar can be learned alone, but conversation requires a partner. Key points: 👉 I speak slowly based on your level 👉 English is OK at first 👉 Mistakes are welcome Even beginners can build speaking skills with confidence! ② Learn Kanji with “Core Images” About 2,136 kanji are needed for reading Japanese. Memorizing alone is inefficient, so guidance is essential. Key points: 👉 Learn core meanings of kanji 👉 Fun, puzzle-like learning 👉 Boost vocabulary efficiently Perfect for learners who struggle with kanji! 🔸Lesson Content ・Beginner–Intermediate: GENKI + original materials ・Advanced: Conversation / Pronunciation / JLPT JLPT lessons use TRY for efficient study. 📌After lessons: → Vocabulary list provided → Review support included 🔸Experience ・1,000+ teaching hours ・JLPT N5–N2 🔸Hobbies ・Backpacking (Asia) ・Dogs / Soccer ・Anime / K-drama ・Piano / Comedy 🔸Message Learning a language can feel lonely and hard. But studying and talking with a Japanese teacher boosts motivation! Why not make Japanese learning enjoyable? Feel free to message me anytime 👍
