Hello! I am a nationally-accredited Japanese to English translator who has tutored Japanese to enthusiastic students for over 10 years. I lived and worked in Japan for 6 years in Japanese-speaking work environments, but am currently taking a long break from Japan to focus on freelance translation.

When I am not translating Japanese, Spanish or Chinese, I enjoy playing the taiko drum (I trained for two years in Japan!), doing karaoke, playing video games and travelling overseas. My favourite video game is Ace Attorney and my next planned travel destinations are Japan and Belgium.

Cours privé de japonais débutant Bruxelles / Private japanese lessons for beginner in Brussels
Having started Japanese in secondary school, I know well the difficulties of this language. After defining the goals to be achieved with the student, I will organize my work around it. We will be able to practice writing and learn to write while learning vocabulary in a fun way using various media. We will also have the opportunity to practice reading based, for example, on manga in original version or on articles or anything else revolving around the interests of the student. In addition, we will do some sort of role play in order to be able to practice the oral. The ultimate goal is to do everything playfully to learn while having fun.

Sophie
Japanese with a former beginner, certified teacher
No, Japanese is not an exotic language or one reserved for manga fans, and impossible to really master... even for French speakers! As proof, here I am after several years of learning, diversifying my language course offering. After Dutch, German, English and Russian, I am adding Japanese to my range. ○ I teach full-time; it’s not a hobby ○ Good news: for me, learning is not limited to long lists of vocabulary. My classes take place in a relaxed and caring atmosphere, I am in opposition to the strict-rigid framework of some schools In class, we combine learning grammar (a crucial and comforting foundation for beginners) with numerous practical exercises and role-playing exercises so that the student can manage on their own in the real world. Above all, I transform language into a kind of game/code that must be deciphered. It is then enough to "grasp" the logic... It is "enough" of course - but that is my job - I will take care of it! I have a myriad of paper materials but I prefer PowerPoints and other fun, interactive tools projected on my TV/computer screen when the course is online. ➤ Theory, exercises, supports provided free of charge with our courses ✦ We are a team, get involved; write to me outside of class ✦ ■ By email, text message, or WhatsApp: for your questions, clarifications, requests between classes ■ My courses are tax deductible, I issue invoices. I like to differentiate myself from those distant teachers who don't make you want to learn.
