Natural Conversation & Real-Life Japanese for all levels 🇯🇵 Konnichiwa! It's me, Juri. Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile and for your interest. I am a very cheerful, open-minded person. I always try to be the teacher that I would like to learn with. I am interested in other cultures and languages, and I constantly learn other languages. Right now, I take Spanish and Slovak classes here on italki, so I am also a language learner like you. As I am interested in Japanese culture, customs, and actual topics, in the class, we read a lot of articles (only if you choose the class of Nihongo de yomou-!). I love to learn about your country and share my experience living both in Europe and Japan. For me, it is very important that you study hard. Learning a new language requires an investment of time. The more you learn, the better your language skills will be. I want my students to study as much as they can, not just in our class. Any activities you do in Japanese you can count as studying: reading manga, watching anime, listening to music, etc. I can also give you some homework if you wish. *I am not a Japanese teacher, but a native speaker. I am here to teach more casually, not to teach grammar from the beginning. All of my students learn grammar on their own. I am here to help you to USE Japanese. (speaking, writing, reading...) I am looking forward to getting to know you ^_^ Thank you for reading all. Matane!

🍣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.
