The new learner is always welcome=) Feel free to approach me if you have any question. My name is Tadahiro Murooka. I was born in Osaka, in 1972. And I live in Tokyo now. My hobby is English, observing people, and weight training. Needless to say, I love eating Japanese food =) Especially, I found myself fond of it more than any other countries food now. And I would like to draw pictures when I have the time but I don’t at the moment… however, I want to engage in such creative work someday. Some of my friends tell me that I am approachable. So you can feel free to give me any kind of question or request. I have student who is struggled with Dyslexia. Nowadays, such problem is very common. So I welcome such student as well=) Learning language is fun and rewarding but also sometimes challeging to continue without let up. Let's enjoy it with me!! I prefer to use GENKI book. It has two sections, Conversation & Grammar section and Reading & Writing section. I would like to cover both section because I believe that Speaking & Listening and Reading & Writing has the mutual relation. And as passing by chapters, we may talk everything in Japanese as much as we can. So learing both are the important thing for the student who wants to reach the intermediate or more level. As for me as a teacher, laying the foundation is the most important. In order to do that, I use the white board, audio file for shadowing or repeating practice with many homework. I'm sure that you can be confident in Japanese through my lessons!

🎁 Free Study Materials!| Aim to be UNDERSTOOD 🗣️ Speaking-focused + detailed feedback 🇯🇵 こんにちは! I'm Taichiro, from Osaka, Japan — now living in Malta 🇲🇹 After graduating from university, I spent 4 years in corporate sales in Japan, then lived in the Philippines, Canada, and Australia before settling in Malta. That mix gave me both an "inside" and "outside" view of Japanese society. Here's what really drives me. As a learner myself, I know the feeling of wondering whether a textbook or anime phrase is something people truly say. I want to help you find the real, living version of Japanese. 🎁 TRIAL LESSON GIFT Take a trial lesson and get a tailored PDF gift! I'll select the best material for your level, from phrase sheets to grammar drills. ― MY LESSONS: SPEAK FIRST, POLISH LATER ― ▶ Talk in class, get detailed feedback after I won't fix every little mistake while you talk. Speak freely; after class, I'll send a detailed Review Sheet with natural phrasing and tips from our conversation. ▶ Don't fear mistakes — perfect isn't the point You don't need perfect grammar here. Mistakes are part of it. If I understand you, that's already a win. ▶ Tailored to you, down to how I speak I adjust not just our topics, but how I speak — my pace, word choice, even Kansai dialect — to match where you are. ― ― ― Whether you want to just talk and build confidence, or dig into the nuances behind the words — what natives really feel, and the culture underneath — there's a lesson here for that. Take a look and pick whatever fits you. Looking forward to talking with you!

私は楽しく明るい雰囲気でレッスンをしたいと思っています。 必要な場合には、語彙を教えたり、訂正をしますが、丁寧に優しく伝えたいと思っています😁 私も今2つの言語を勉強しています。そのため日本語を学んでいるみなさんの努力や会話に伴う緊張がよくわかります。 レッスン中、必要な場合は話す速度を変えたり、一人一人の興味にできるだけ合わせて会話を作っていきたいと思っています。 我希望在轻松愉快的氛围进行我的课程。在必要时,我会教一些新的词汇并进行纠正,但我喜欢温和友善地进行😁。我自己也在学习两门语言,因此我非常理解学习日语的学生的付出的努力和对话时也许感到的紧张。在课程中,如果需要,我会调整说话速度,并尽量根据每个人的兴趣来来对话。 I want to conduct my lessons in a fun and cheerful atmosphere. When necessary, I will teach vocabulary and make corrections, but I will do so kindly and gently 😁. I am currently studying two languages myself, so I understand well the efforts and the anxiety that come with learning Japanese. During lessons, if needed, I will adjust my speaking speed and try to tailor the conver

Let's have conversations about topics you're interested in to improve your Japanese! Through my past experiences I've met a lot of lovely people from all over the world and the one thing that stuck out to me the most was the opinion about how difficult Japanese is to learn as a second language. I've decided to take to italki so I may reach more potential friends around the world and converse in this beautiful language! I'm so excited to use the new methods of teaching I learnt in practice in our learning together! I'm so looking forward to meeting you all and being your tomodachi 👫
