About Me
Hi :)I come from Taipei, and lived+worked in Japan(Tokyo, Kyoto) before I reside in Europe and work in UK. Based on my anthropology background, I wrote a bilingual book series【Working Holiday Japan】of 4 books about my Japan experiences, which covers all the cultural events happening in whole year in Japan. That's all my starting point to learn Japanese from beginner to JLPT N1, the highest level for foreigner.
So, I certainly know the difficulties of Japanese grammar, and I know how to conquer those learning obstacles! Thus, I’m enthusiastic about sharing this fascinating landscape with you through teaching Japanese and leaning from your perspective of Japan/Asian cultures!
Since Chinese is my mother tongue and my academic training include sociology and literature, I would love to guide people enter this great treasure of our cultural heritage, not only to grab the language skills, but to understand the ongoing development of inter-asian studies (China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan) as well.
I look forward to hearing from you, Cheers!

I can't wait to learn Turkish with you.🤗 I love teaching Turkish. If you want, I would like to briefly tell you how we can learn Turkish.🤓 First, in our first lesson, we determine your level together📝 and start our lessons suitable for your level. Our lessons include reading📕, writing✏️, listening🧏🏽♀️, and speaking🗣️. I want you to read and translate reading passages in the reading section. Here, we write down and memorize the new words and verbs we learn.🧠 Then, after listening to a text related to our topic, I want you to explain in Turkish what you understood. 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. Also, you can contact me anytime outside of class.📲 I look forward to having you in my class and getting to know you and learning Turkish together. Take care.👋🏾

Chiaki
Japanese Lessons - Born in Tokyo, I have a Master's degree in Language Education and am certified in Japanese language teachingHello!🍡
My name is Chiaki (千明 in Japanese, it means "a thousand lights") and I am a Japanese teacher in Lausanne. Passionate about foreign languages and cultures, I studied Japanese teaching at university and obtained a master's degree in language teaching.
I truly believe that a good teacher is also a learner. Through my own experiences with languages like English, German, Arabic, Italian, Korean, and French, I have come to understand the challenges, doubts, and joys that come with diving into a new language.
For me, learning a language is more than just words. It’s a way to see the world through a new lens, to understand different cultures, and to build bridges between people.
I believe that this knowledge can break down barriers and foster a more peaceful world. 🕊️
As a Japanese teacher, my goal is to offer my students the chance to discover the world through the “Japanese prism”🌈
If you dream of learning Japanese, I would be happy to accompany you :)
