I (male) studied Japanese culture at City University and graduated with high marks. I have 14 years of experience teaching Japanese and over 7 years of work experience in Japanese companies (frequently using Japanese). I have also obtained the Japanese Language Proficiency Test N1 certificate. Currently, I have students who are learning and making good progress, and I hope to be given the opportunity. My teaching methods are lively, and I do not require rote memorization, adjusting the materials according to the students' interests. I hope to be given the opportunity. I am flexible with timing. I look forward to your reply as soon as possible~!

I graduated with first-class honors from the University of Australia in the Department of Literature. My majors are Korean and Japanese literature. I am currently engaged in teaching Japanese and Korean languages and translation work. (((o(*゚▽゚*)o))) I have five years of teaching experience, ranging from small class teaching in schools and institutions to private tutoring, with students aged from 6 to 45 years. From the history and culture of the country to the emergence of applied language. The changes in language, the structure of language, the format of grammar, allow students to start learning the language from its most fundamental source. And with the development of language, gain a deeper understanding of various cultures and histories of different countries.

Learn Everyday Japanese Communication

Many students begin learning Japanese because they want to communicate confidently while travelling in Japan or interacting with Japanese speakers.

Common beginner phrases include:

  • hello in japanese

Hello in Japanese:

こんにちは

Thank you very much in Japanese:

どうもありがとうございます
