À propos de moi
Professeur italki depuis le 24 Jul 2024Sujets d'intérêtVoyagesHistoireÉcritureArtFilms
Hi! I'm Karuna, a bilingual Tokyo-born educator. I received my B.A. from Cornell University and my Master's from Tokyo University of the Arts, where I also worked as a TA/Research Assistant. I’ve also worked as a Curatorial Assistant to a Japanese museum director and as a Japanese-to-English translator. 📍 Currently I split my time between California, Japan, and various other destinations.
🍥 MORE ABOUT ME 🍥
I enjoy architecture, design, history, cooking, and most things “Showa retro.” Also currently dabbling in studying basic linguistics and etymology. When I'm not teaching Japanese, I myself am (slowly, arduously) learning Serbo-Croatian!Moi en tant que professeur
Express yourself with nuanced cultural cognizance while staying true to your authentic self 🎋🏮 My methodology focuses on facilitating your voice, i.e. student-generated output. This will include journaling/writing assignments and structured speaking challenges.
Above all, our lessons together will be compassionate to both the cultural and linguistic standpoints of a non-native learner.
Japanese is a complex but also incredibly flexible language: I can equip you with the most efficient conversational “tricks” that natives use in everyday communication — but won’t skimp on important foundational grammar, either.Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
My lessons are best for adult students ranging from beginners to intermediate learners (Levels N5, N4, N3). I'll default to Genki I, Genki II, and Tobira for grammar exercises — but by no means exclusively, if you prefer another resource.
Some of my customized resources for students include:
🕯 Effective self-study tools, quizzes, and flashcard optimization strategies, so that our one-on-one time can focus on the things you *can't* so easily teach yourself
🕯 Analyzing brief excerpts from a range of colloquial native Japanese content, e.g. blog articles, restaurant reviews, artist Q&A interviews, or your favorite anime/manga

So I've taken a good amount of lessons in the past. In learning any language I would highly recommend to pick someone with the same native language as you.
If you're in the United States or in English Speaking country I would highly recommend Karuna as a teacher. She is very knowledge about the language, culture, sub-culture, and also American-sub-japanese culture. I know that's a lot of cultures lol, but having someone you can connect with makes all the differences.
If you're one of the lucky few if you get the opportunity to have her as your Japanese coach.
Good luck fellow students and have fun!

I'm excited to work with Karuna..I feel like she has a good grasp of how difficult it is to be a beginning language learner.
