Not textbook Japanese - the Japanese you actually use Hi, I'm Yui! 👋 I'm learning English and Chinese myself, so I know both the excitement and the frustration of language learning. I have a 4-year university degree in Japanese language education, 3 years of teaching at a Japanese language school (since 2016), and 6 years of online teaching. Two things happen in every lesson, at every level. Patterns, not lists 📝 One pattern covers many sentences, so you are not memorizing. For beginners, I break verbs into 6 forms and 3 groups, with practice at every step. For intermediate and advanced learners, it is keigo, 〜んです, and the shapes that make you sound natural. Your own phrases 💬 What I hear most often is "I studied it, but I can't use it." So we collect the phrases you need - from your work, your trip, your interview - and I keep them in a spreadsheet that is yours. It grows every lesson. Then we use them in roleplay: a phone call, a hotel, meeting your neighbours, a job interview. Every 5 lessons I send you a one-page review of what you have built. My students right now are preparing for job interviews, studying for the JLPT, working in Japan, and starting from zero. The approach is the same - only the content changes. I'm a big anime fan 🎬 - Frieren, Blue Lock, Haikyu!!, Apothecary Diaries, Demon Slayer, Chiikawa - often watched in English or Chinese too. Lessons often turn into chats about what you are watching 😊 Let's make steady progress, and have fun doing it! ✨

🌸Your Safe Space to Practice | English Support Available🌸 Konnichiwa☺️ I’m Risa, a certified native Japanese teacher based in Tokyo🗼 With a background in marketing and international business development, I spent several years living in Thailand and Singapore. As a language learner myself, I know learning a new language can be challenging, but it is truly life-changing. It has broadened my horizons! Inspired by how language learning changed my own life, after passing the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test, I began my journey as a teacher to help my students open new doors through Japanese. ⭐️My Teaching Approach My lessons focus on communication. If you'd like to use a textbook, I'm happy to do so, but it's not necessary. I prepare lesson notes for you, so you can focus on speaking during class instead of taking notes. After each lesson, I'll send you a summary of what we learned, including new vocabulary, grammar, and useful expressions. I believe consistency is the key to language learning, and the best way to stay consistent is to enjoy the process. My goal is to make each lesson something you look forward to as part of your daily life. Please feel free to send me a message or book a trial lesson. I look forward to meeting you✨ A little more about me: - I enjoy exploring new places and have visited 🇹🇭🇸🇬🇺🇸🇹🇼🇰🇷🇻🇳🇮🇩🇬🇧🇲🇾🇮🇹🇵🇱🇨🇿🇦🇹🇸🇰🇭🇺! - I sometimes work as a walking tour guide in Tokyo, too. I'd love to help make your trip to Japan special!

私は教えない。I don't teach you. I'm a guide, trainer, and counselor of all the autodidacts. I am no longer a teacher who only teaches. I am a guide, a trainer, and a counselor of all the autodidacts. I try to get the most out of my learners and give them back what they need. Also, I don't think it is enough to just present the learning items. I want to support them in the process of learning as well. It is my greatest pleasure to see the results of our work together. 教えるだけの先生は卒業しました。私は独学者のガイドであり、トレーナーでもあり、カウンセラーでもあります。学習者から最大限引き出し、必要なものを加えて返していくよう心がけています。また、学習項目を提示するだけでは十分だと思いません。覚える過程も含めてサポートしていきたいです。そしてその成果を、双方で確認することを至上の喜びと感じています。

Experienced Coach|36 countries Travel exspert |Beginners, Free Talk ,JLPT ,Kids Ok, All Levels, 「日本語、ずっと勉強しているのに、全然話せるようにならない…」そう感じたことはありませんか?その原因は、あなたの努力不足ではなく、「教科書の日本語」と「実際に使われている日本語」の間にある大きなギャップかもしれません。 はじめまして、日本語教師のYukaです。 私は日本の語学学校で、1歳のお子さんから大人の方まで、幅広い年齢層の生徒さんに日本語を教えてきました。 また、日系企業での勤務経験もあり、教室の中だけでは学べない「実際に使われている日本語」や、日本社会ならではの考え方・マナーについても深い知識を持っています。 ビジネスの現場で培った経験は、丁寧な言葉遣いから、同僚や上司との円滑な人間関係の築き方まで、幅広くお伝えできる強みになっています。 私自身も現在スペイン語と英語を学習中の身であり、生徒として新しい言語を学ぶ大変さや、思うように話せないもどかしさ、そしてうまく話せたときの喜びを、身をもって理解しています。 【私のレッスンの特徴】 教科書の文法をなぞるだけの授業はしません。 もちろん基礎はしっかりお伝えしますが、それに加えて「実際の会話で本当に使われる表現」も一緒に学んでいきます。 教科書では「です・ます」形が中心ですが、実際の会話は人間関係の話や噂話、スラングであふれています。教科書だけで勉強して会話につまずいてしまう方の原因は、実はここにあります。 友人との会話、職場でのやり取り、旅行先での一コマ―そのすべてに合った言葉選びができるよう、状況に応じた自然な日本語をお教えします。 教科書の各ユニットの文法事項が終わったら、必ずカジュアルな表現もプラスして教えるのが、他の先生との違いです。 【対応できるレベル・目的】 ・ゼロからの初級者の方:ひらがな・カタカナから、無理なく続けられるペースで丁寧にサポートします。「覚えられない」「続かない」という不安も、一緒に解消していきましょう。 ・JLPT合格を目指す方:必要な漢字・語彙・文法を整理し、試験日から逆算した学習プランを作成します。シャドーイングなどのトレーニングでリスニング力も鍛えます。 ・旅行や出張前に短期間で日本語を身につけたい方:限られた時間で確実に成果を出せるよう、実際に使う場面を想定した実践的なフレーズを中心に学びます。 ・ビジネスシーンで自信を持って日本語を使いたい方:敬語やビジネスマナー、日本人特有の考え方まで、文化的な背景を含めて丁寧に解説します。 ・お子さんの日本語学習:年齢制限なし、アニメや好きな遊びを取り入れながら、楽しみながら自然に学べます。 ・とにかく日本語で自由に話したい方:テーマは自由、間違いを気にせずたくさん話すフリートークも大歓迎です。 【大切にしていること】 間違えることを恐れないでください。 間違いは、上達している証拠です。緊張せずに話せる、リラックスした雰囲気のレッスンをいつも心がけています。 一人ひとりの目標やペース、興味関心に合わせて、オーダーメイドのレッスンプランを一緒に作っていきます。 【レッスンの進め方】 初回のレッスンでは、まずあなたの現在のレベルや目標、興味のあることをじっくりお伺いします。「なんとなく話せるようになりたい」という漠然とした目標でも大丈夫です。 一緒にお話ししながら、あなたに合った学習の道筋を見つけていきましょう。 教材はすべて画面上で共有しますので、手ぶらでレッスンにご参加いただけます。 レッスン中は、日本語だけでなく、必要に応じて英語やスペイン語での説明も可能です。
