どこの国に行っても道を尋ねられるタイプです。I am the type of person who is asked for directions wherever I go. はじめまして! 私は35か国を旅した元バックパッカーで、今は福岡に住んでいます。 チェコやタイなど多様な文化に触れ、現地で日本語を教えた経験も豊富です。 2025年8月はトルコに行きました。 「旅行で使える日本語」や「文化の違いを楽しむ会話」が得意です! 編集ライターとしての正確な日本語力も活かし、**初心者の方にもわかりやすく**教えます。 コロナで旅ができなくなり海外の人と話す機会が減ったため、itaikをとても楽しんでいます。 皆さんの国のこと、生活などおしゃべりしましょう。 楽しく目標に向かって進みましょう! 海外旅行中は「日本語を教えて」「私の名前を漢字で書いて」などよく言われ、日本語を教えることもよくありました。 チェコやネパールでは個別に教えることもありました。 編集ライターの経験があるため、日本語には敏感です。 また、仕事で採用を担当しているので、採用面接のデモをすることができます。 While traveling abroad, I was often asked to “teach Japanese” or “write my name in kanji” and I often taught Japanese. In the Czech Republic and Nepal, I even taught them individually. Because of my experience as an editorial writer, I am sensitive to the Japanese language. I am also in charge of recruitment at work, so I can demonstrate recruitment. 本人の目的を聞いてゴールを決め、それに向かってサポートしていきます。 なるべく本人がしゃべる機会を多く作るよう、質問していきながらも 文法や適切な表現の説明は丁寧に行っていきます。 I listen to the sutudent's objectives, decide on a goal, and support the person toward that goal. We ask questions to give the student as many opportunities to speak as possible, while carefully explaining grammar and appropriate expressions. We will also carefully explain grammar and appropriate expressions.

Please check out Udemy's English course Amber & Nikki's English conversations and test prep! Motivating language students online can be a difficult task since you don't get to meet them in person. In general, I don't believe it's effective to assign numerous grammar lessons. My lesson plan for the beginner to intermediate learners focuses on conversational Japanese, practicing repetition of sentences describing their daily lives in present or past tenses. This would build their vocabulary and grammatical skills in the process. Through my lessons, students have demonstrated to be more fluent and motivated.

Japanese Conversation through Food and Culture Hello, I’m Micchi, a professional Japanese teacher living on Awaji Island, known in Japanese mythology as the island of creation. I offer topic-based Japanese conversation lessons for B1–C2 learners who want to improve their Japanese through food, culture, dashi, tea, and daily life. For nearly 30 years, I have been involved in Japanese food culture, including home cooking, seasonings, dashi, umami, tea, and daily food life. Through our conversations, you can practice speaking Japanese while understanding the feelings, values, and everyday sensibilities behind Japanese food and culture. You will also practice expressing your own thoughts in natural Japanese. In my lessons, we may talk about miso, soy sauce, katsuobushi, kombu, chopsticks, food habits, Japanese tea, Chinese tea, Taiwanese tea, kimono, and life on Awaji Island. All lessons are conducted in Japanese only. I speak at a natural speed, explain simply, and correct your Japanese when needed. My teaching style is calm, gentle, and practical. You do not need to speak perfectly. I will support you in finding your own words in Japanese while enjoying meaningful cultural topics. Please note that this is not a free conversation or business Japanese lesson. It is best for learners who want to deepen their Japanese through culture, food, tea, and daily life. If my available times do not fit your schedule, please feel free to send me a lesson request.
