What are my lessons like? The lessons mainly focus on improving speaking and listening skills, and are provided to a wide range of students, from children to adults, and from beginners to advanced learners. I aim to give students as many opportunities as possible to practise speaking, while also using a lot of Japanese to help strengthen their listening skills. Example lesson contents : - The Japanese syllabary (Hiragana/Katakana) - Greetings - Grammar - Everyday conversation - Useful phrases and vocabulary for travel - Honorific language (Keigo) - Exam preparation - Interview preparation - Business Japanese Students learn not only the language but also how Japanese people think, how to give appropriate responses (aizuchi), and cultural and social backgrounds, using music and a variety of topics. For example, to acquire vocabulary, pronunciation, and natural expressions, students improve their Japanese skills daily through activities such as dictation, role-play, composition, and writing diaries. Lessons are customised to help students achieve their goals, taking into account their preferred learning methods. If you know of any other optimal ways to learn Japanese, please feel free to share them with me. When teaching, I value communication and active participation. Making mistakes and asking questions when you don’t understand are wonderful things. It’s fine to go at your own pace, so I hope you will continue to learn new things day by day at a comfortable speed. 🪽So why don’t you learn Japanese together in a fun and relaxed way, like talking with a friend, and tailor the lessons to your goals? I will immerse you into lessons that deepen your understanding of the Japanese language, culture and Japanese people. For example, I will teach about pronunciation, intonation, nuances and ambiguous expressions used by native speakers. I have experience learning foreign languages like yourselves and living outside Japan, so I understand the joys and challenges of language learning and cross-cultural understanding. 🤍Teaching Methods 💎Outline 1.
