Real Japanese for Life in Japan | Native + 11 Years Abroad “An inch of movement is better than a mile of intentions.” Language learning is the same. Speaking a little today, even imperfectly, will take you further than waiting until you feel ready. Survive Japan with Real Japanese Conversation 💪🏼😎 Hi, I’m Takeo from Osaka. I recently returned to Japan after spending about 11 years abroad, mostly in Australia. I learned that communication is not only about knowing the right words. You also need to understand the culture, the mood and what is often left unsaid. My lessons focus on Japanese you can actually use in daily life, work, friendships and dating. What You Can Learn • Natural phrases Japanese people actually use • Polite Japanese that does not sound too formal • How to keep a conversation going • How to express your personality • Indirect answers and hidden meanings • Natural Osaka expressions and culture I will correct unnatural expressions and explain how your words sound to Japanese people. Each lesson is adjusted to your level, interests and goals. You do not need perfect Japanese. Make mistakes, ask questions and speak as much as possible. Let’s build your confidence together! 【日本語】 「何もしないまま遠くを目指すより、わずかでも一歩進むほうがいい」 言語の習得も同じです。完璧になるのを待つより、今日少しでも話すことが上達につながります。 大阪出身のタケオです。オーストラリアを中心に、海外で約11年間生活した後、日本へ帰国しました。 私のレッスンでは、日本での生活、仕事、友人関係、恋愛など、実際の場面で使う自然な日本語を練習します。 文法を直すだけではなく、その表現が日本人にどう聞こえるのか、同じ場面で日本人ならどう話すのかも説明します。 完璧な日本語は必要ありません。たくさん話し、間違えながら、自分の言葉で伝える自信を一緒に育てましょう!

I have unofficially taught Japanese for two years, and self-taught English for four years so I know that it's difficult to make progress in a language without some outside help and so I'm here to be your support. By talking to a native speaker, you will be able to improve your Japanese. Many people have told me that I am quite easy to talk to, so I'm also hoping that we can be friends.
