This is my first post in italki, so I want to write about my profile's photo. The woman in this picture is me, and it was taken last year. In this picture, I'm wearing "furisode(振袖)", a long-sleeve kimono. In Japan, celebrating 20th, we have a ceremony called "seijinsiki(成人式)". In this ceremony, we wear furisode and enjoy talking and taking photos with old friends. Furisode have a variety of colors and designs and each is so beautiful. So, when I chose mine, being indecisive, it took a lot of time to chose the best. But, finally, I decided to wear this one because I was attracted by its carm atmosphere and design of flowers. Actually, I'm not 20 years old now, so mine is next year. I can't wait it!

I didn’t become confident first. I started — and confidence followed. In this episode, I share the real story behind how my teaching method was born. Not from certificates. Not from lesson plans. Not from “knowing what to do.” At 25, I was asked to help adults communicate in English — and inside, I froze. Not because my English was bad, but because I didn’t know how to be in the room. What changed everything wasn’t learning more. It was realizing what adults actually need when they speak under pressure. This episode is for you if you: freeze when it matters overthink instead of speaking doubt yourself before you start It’s not about English. It’s about what happens inside you when you open your mouth. Listen if that sounds familiar.

You want to say: You agree with this direction.

if you're just beginning, we can communicate in English anytime. My priority is your confidence, so you can learn without stress or fear." we can use English as a tool to help you learn Spanish smoothly. We're a team, and my job is to make sure you feel supported and secure."

How my lessons work: I find out what your issues are from conversation class….then direct you to take either my pronunciation class if pronunciation is a struggle for you…then we see in the pronunciation class if you need my entire pronunciation program or not. If you don’t then we’d move on to other things after I help you with the few sounds that you struggle with. If you have a real big problem with pronunciation then that is what I work on first before conversational classes and before ‘other types of education class’.

English Grammar

🤔The Translation Trap If you translate from your native language, you’ll always be 2–3 seconds behind in conversation.😬 The goal isn’t more grammar… It’s learning to think in English. That’s where fluency begins. ✨Do you translate in your head when you speak?
