🌸 Friendly & Relaxed Step-by-Step Lessons! Learn at Your Own Pace 😊🌸 Hi, I'm YUN. Thank you for visiting my profile! わたしは大阪に生まれました。 修士課程の研究室ではミャンマー・インドネシア・ケニア・コンゴ・ジンバブエ・バングラディッシュ・ネパール・ベトナムなどの留学生と一緒に学びました。 文化も習慣も宗教もちがう彼らの生活を日本語を通じてお手伝いしました。 言語の壁さえ解消したら留学生は自分らしさを取り戻せるのです。 自国にいたときと同じように生き生きとできたのです。 その姿が頭の隅にずっとありました。 大学卒業後は航空測量の仕事をしていました。IT技術が必要な仕事でした。そのため動くスライドのパワポや、ホワイトボードで生徒と講師が同時に操作する仕組みを授業に取り入れます。「面白い」は学習において必須です。 About Me 🎓 Master’s degree ✍️ Novel published in my writing school’s literary magazine 🇯🇵 Passed the National Japanese Teacher Exam I teach Japanese from both academic and creative perspectives. All my students say the same thing: my lessons leave them with a refreshing mental fatigue, just like after a good workout! Do you understand Japanese when you hear it, but struggle to speak when it's your turn? My Practice Sessions help you train your working memory through active practice. Which sounds like you? ・”I forget what I heard when it's my turn to speak.” 👂 Repeating Practice: Repeat sentences by ear, at your level. Even N3 learners may find N4 or N5 sentences challenging to repeat immediately. ・”I can only use simple textbook sentence patterns.” 🧩 Sentence Expansion: Gradually add details to basic sentences to create longer ones. ・”I lack confidence and hesitate to speak.” 🎤 Interview & Summary: Take turns as interviewer and guest, then summarize the conversation. It's a different challenge from free talk.

Японский - для работы, учебы и души! Нет - экзотике, да - настоящей Японии! Влюбленная в японскую литературу, я приехала из Москвы в Киото по программе MEXT и закончила магистратуру Университета Киото. После этого я работала в сфере культурного наследия в Осака и Нара переводчиком и исследователем. Я занимаюсь айкидо, люблю ходить по музеям, гулять по Киото, Осака и Нара, читать про историю, археологию, искусство. Недавно у меня исполнилась мечта детства - я завела собаку, и теперь весь мир крутится вокруг неё. In love with Japanese literature, I moved from Moscow to Kyoto to study it at Kyoto University. I worked in cultural heritage field as a translator, interpreter, researcher and communication specialist. My work led me to love Japanese history and archaeology even more. I love reading books, walking around Kyoto, travelling, and practicing aikido.

こんにちは！A friendly tutor who enjoys talking with people from different countries :) Through my experience on italki, I’ve gained a good understanding of the common mistakes Japanese learners often make and the difficulties they face.

I’m a patient teacher, and I’m good at creating a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere in my lessons.

Insegnante di lingua giapponese con esperienza di insegnamento e soggiorno in Giappone Ciao! Sono Antonio e insegno giapponese online da oltre 3 anni. Ho lavorato con studenti di età e livelli diversi, aiutandoli a raggiungere obiettivi differenti: migliorare la conversazione, approfondire la grammatica, prepararsi per esami o semplicemente imparare il giapponese per passione. Durante il mio percorso universitario ho vinto una borsa di studio che mi ha permesso di trascorrere un anno in Giappone. Durante questa esperienza ho frequentato corsi di lingua giapponese e ho avuto l'opportunità di vivere direttamente la società giapponese, entrando in contatto con la lingua e la cultura al di fuori dell'ambiente accademico. Questa esperienza mi ha permesso di sviluppare una conoscenza più concreta e approfondita del giapponese e del contesto culturale in cui viene utilizzato. Nel corso della mia esperienza ho anche accompagnato e preparato diversi studenti che hanno poi intrapreso esperienze in Giappone per studio, lavoro e viaggio, aiutandoli a sviluppare le competenze linguistiche necessarie per affrontare queste esperienze con maggiore sicurezza. Durante le mie lezioni cerco di creare un ambiente tranquillo e stimolante, adattando il materiale e le attività alle esigenze di ogni studente. Mi piace combinare grammatica, conversazione e cultura giapponese, con particolare interesse per la storia e l'arte, rendendo lo studio pratico, interessante e collegato all'uso reale della lingua.
