Japanese lesson by a native Japanese speaker in Amsterdam

Hi, Japanese learners in and around Amsterdam!

My name is Miki, and I’m a 29-year-old Japanese woman living in Amsterdam. I was born in Tokyo and soon after moved to the US, growing up in cities like Boston, Chicago, Singapore, Austin, and Tokyo. This diverse background has given me a unique perspective on language and culture, which I bring into my teaching.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Law and Politics from Keio University in Tokyo. During my university days, I developed a genuine interest in traveling the world and backpacked through South America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. If you’re also a traveler, we can share a lot about our experiences during lessons, making learning Japanese even more engaging and fun.

Professionally, I’ve pursued a career in banking, advertising, and a food-tech start-up. Now in Amsterdam, I work as a Wagashi (Japanese confectionery) professional, striving to spread the beauty of this traditional art. Additionally, I have experience working as an interpreter, which has honed my language skills further.

I look forward to helping you on your journey to learn Japanese, sharing not just the language but also insights from my diverse life experiences. Let's make learning Japanese an exciting adventure!
