Native Japanese Lessons: Free talk & Basics 日本語ネイティブスピーカーと楽しく日本語で話そう! If you want to practice natural Japanese conversation in a relaxed and friendly environment, you are in right place! My lessons focus on speaking and building confidence step by step. You don’t need to be perfect. Making mistakes is part of learning! I’m also lerning languages, so I understand how difficult (and sometimes scary!) speaking can be. That’s why I want to create a comfortable space where you feel safe to speak. Let’s enjoy learning Japanese together!

Takeshi Spada
Entertaining Japanese! I've been professionally teaching Japanese for about three years. My specialties are casual Japanese and teaching phrases that only native speakers use! I help my students avoid directly translating things, as this often results in creating unnatural expressions (E.g When we hang out and friends look a bit bored, we don't say "Are you bored? We say "Do you wanna do something different? (何か違うことする?)in Japanese). Also, I break down common formal Japanese expressions and explain how you can make casual phrases with them. So that you can see the difference and pick proper expressions when you speak or write!

Lisa りさ
Intermediate & Advanced Japanese: Speak More Naturally and Confidently I have been teaching Japanese professionally since 2020. I completed the Japanese language education course online. I specialise in 1:1 lessons and I have significant experience teaching intermediate students. I will work with pre-intermediate students who only speak everyday conversation and develop their range so that they can speak on different topics such as social problems, science and art. My lessons will be fun and relaxing and also focus on your progress. I believe in students studying proactively, not me telling students what to do. I am a facilitator rather than an instructor and I guide you in my lessons while you work it out for yourself.

スイス🇨🇭から こんにちは!Speak Natural Japanese with Confidence | English🇺🇸 Deutsch🇩🇪Ok👍 I teach one-on-one lessons on italki and also teach at an educational institution in 🇨🇭. I completed a 1-year Japanese Teacher Training Course (420 hours) at a Japanese university and hold a professional Japanese teaching certificate 🧑🏫. I have taught over 400 hours in total. I’m also currently studying Linguistics and English Literature at an online university, which helps me understand how languages work and how people learn them. Since I’m learning English and German myself, I know how tricky it can be to learn a new language. In my class, don’t worry about making mistakes — they’re just stepping stones on your way to fluency! 🌱✨
