I will support you with all my might !! I have learned German. I could understand how people feel when they are facing new language, because I had also difficulty studying German. I have some experiences of teaching Japanese in German. I’ll teach you all situations, you need to know, like for business, traveling, chatting with your friends or any romance with your partner. I currently teach Japanese, math, and English to elementary and middle school students at a private tutoring school, so I am also able to teach your children in my italki classes.
