U.S -Based Linguist, Medical Interpreter, TESOL Chinese/Japanese/English Professional Teacher I hold two Masters degrees from the University of Colorado - Japanese Language and Civilization, and Linguistics. The former provided me with extensive training in translation, interpretation, and literary analysis from both historical and modern perspectives. Linguistics offered me the theoretical and practical basis for teaching a foreign language. I am especially interested in applying phonetic and phonological strategies to classroom teaching in order to prepare students for a native-like pronunciation and intuition. I am a native Chinese Mandarin speaker with Japanese heritage. With the educational training mentioned above, I am capable of teaching both languages.

🌸 Japanese accent is a combination of high and low pitches. 日本語のアクセントは、高低の組み合わせです🌸 As someone who shares the Japanese, I want to keep listening closely to each learner’s dedication. Beyond the time we share through this window, each person is walking their own quiet inner path. I hope to sit beside that unseen time, and together, gently cultivate a kind of shared field — a calm presence that holds us both. Through meditation, I’ve come to feel that this inner work is one of humanity’s most precious things, something meant to ripen slowly within us. And somehow, I trust that the universe remembers these things. I keep asking myself how I choose to sit here, how I choose to be. Reflecting, again and again, just letting us grow together, quietly. 𓅗 2026.01.18.

日本語は読めるけど、話すのが苦手な方、日本の小説を日本語で読んでみたい方、面接やプレゼンの練習をしたい方、敬語やビジネス会話を覚えたい方、文章を書く練習をしたい方、お待ちしています。 私はビジネスをリタイヤした後、何をしようかと考えていたとき、まず思い浮かんだことは、外国語を学んで海外の人たちと交流をするということでした。しかし、逆に、私が日本語を教えることによって、多くの外国の方が日本語を理解し、日本が好きになってくれることのほうが、私のためにも、日本語を学ぶ皆さんのためにも有意義だと考えて、日本語教師になりました。 When I was thinking about what I would do after retiring from business, the first thing that came to mind was to learn a foreign language and interact with people from other countries. However, I thought that it would be more meaningful for me and for people learning Japanese if I could help many foreigners understand the Japanese language and come to love Japan by teaching it to them.
