Learn Japanese culture and language ! (Beginners/ intermediate/ Advanced)
Hello there! はじめまして!
I am Risa from Tokyo, Japan.
I have various experiences in teaching Japanese culture and language from children to adults in English and Spanish.
I'm learning various languages as a non-native speaker, so I know how learning foreign languages can be challenging, but at the same time, so fun! :) The key to fluency is repetitive practices, from my experience.
What is your purpose to learn Japanese culture and language? In the first session, let me know your specific needs and objectives so as we can take the best way to achieve these goals.
Together we will practice the diverse proficiency skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking).
The class will be semi-structured and flexible according to your needs and goals.
Feel free to contact me!

Japanese is a difficult yet very beautiful and interesting language to learn. If you would like to learn Japanese, and learn about the life in Japan in general, you came to the right place!

Of course, understanding the texts might be a bit difficult at first, but we overcome this and learn together. 💪Then, we come to the most fun part, of course, the speaking part. In this part, we talk about the texts we have read and listened to before. Of course, we try to use new words and verbs more. I love people who talk a lot in my classes. It's not a problem even if it gives me a bit of a headache🤕😁 As long as you learn🙏❤️. And finally, I give you a writing assignment related to the topic and eagerly await our next lesson.
