Asia language and culture courses: Chinese, Japanese
Hej, I am Xiong! I give language courses, particularly in Chinese (mother tongue), and Japanese (JLPT Level N1).
I was born and raised up in southern China and used to be an announcer in the Radio Station at my university. I have got the Level 1-B of the Putonghua Proficiency Test, which is an official test of spoken fluency in Standard Chinese intended for native speakers of Chinese languages.
*Chinese lessons can help you set out to learn how to speak, read, and write. For this purpose, you will study the Chinese alphabet (汉语拼音 han yu pinyin), characters (汉字 han zi), vocabulary (词组 cizu), grammar (语法 yufa), as well as culture (文化 wenhua).
#Chinese calligraphy lesson is also possible. #
Doing calligraphy not only can help you to practice handwriting but also can help you to meditate and relieve tension.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I am a fan of Japanese anime and drama and have studied and lived in Japan for 8 years, I was able to enrich my linguistic knowledge as well as the culture of Japan. I have passed the Level N1 of the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test.
**Japanese lessons can help you set out to learn how to speak, read, and write. For this purpose, you will study the Japanese alphabet (ローマ字 romaji), characters (ひらがな hiragana カタカナ katakana), grammar (文法 ぶんぽう bunnpou), as well as culture (文化 ぶんか bunka).
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
***We can do the lesson planning together depending on your purpose. I also can adapt the courses according to the particular requirements (e.g., examination, knowledge for a business trip, etc.)
My goal is to teach the chosen language to the student without overloading you.

Let's learn Japanese with a native through a casual talk-------About me
Name: Ayaka
Origin: Osaka
Japanese: Standard Japanese, Kansai dialect
Jobs: Flight Attendant (past), Yoga Instructor (active)
Hobbies: Traveling, Yoga, Photography, Walking and hiking, Cooking, Skiing, Animal lover
----------About the Lesson---------------------
The main focus will be on "Speaking."
Q. Why is speaking the main focus?
A. We want you to experience the joy of speaking Japanese through free talk. Just learning words from manga is not easy to understand what natives say in daily life. I will assist you in learning vocabulary and acquiring natural expressions by speaking with native Japanese speakers.
-----A message to the students at the end-----
I love cultural exchange and have a friendly personality. Having traveled to various countries and learning German, I understand the challenges and joys of learning a new language firsthand. This makes me happy to be able to help you learn Japanese. I look forward to the day when we can have enjoyable conversations together.
