🌏 Conversation lessons for traveling the world in Japanese 🇯🇵🇧🇷🇬🇧 Living in Japan, Brazil, and the UK. 🇹🇼🇨🇳🇰🇷 I tour Asia every year, visiting several countries. 🎎 Let's have fun talking about culture and everyday life in Japanese. Hello, I'm Asuka, a native Japanese teacher. My lessons aren't textbook-based. ☕ Natural conversations, like those you'd have at a cafe 🌏 Topics on culture, lifestyle, and life 🎎 Japanese sensibilities and the "atmosphere" Using these themes, I aim to improve your ability to speak Japanese without thinking. I would also be happy if you could tell me about your country in Japanese. 🌍 About me 🇯🇵 Born in Japan, native Japanese speaker 🇧🇷 Lived in Brazil for 10 years 🇬🇧 Lived in the UK for 23 years Having lived abroad for so long, I can clearly explain the areas where foreigners struggle with Japanese, as well as Japanese-specific ways of thinking and expressions. 🎎 Lesson Content (Recommended for these people) 🇯🇵 Enjoy casual conversation and free talk in Japanese 🇯🇵 Learn about Japanese culture, daily life, and values 🇯🇵 Increase conversational opportunities rather than "studying" 🇯🇵 Relax and enjoy conversation Example Topics: 🗣 Daily conversation / Travel / Culture / Kimono / Music / Martial Arts / Living Abroad, etc. (Adjusted to fit your interests) ✨ Lesson Features ✏️ Conversation-focused lessons tailored to your level and pace ✏️ Natural feedback on mistakes without excessive correction ✏️ Transform Japanese from "study" to "usage" 📜 Language Qualifications: Celpe-Bras (Portuguese) / TOEFL ITP ※ Learning support is available upon request. 📩 Why not try a trial lesson first? Speaking Japanese will surely become easier. 🗣 Japanese Conversation & Cultural Talk (Conversation & Free Talk) [For People Who] 🇯🇵 Want to converse naturally in Japanese 🇯🇵 Want to understand Japanese ways of thinking and values 🇯🇵 Want to learn "real-life Japanese" instead of textbook-based Japanese [Lesson Process] 1️⃣ Conversation based on your interests (culture, daily life, travel, work, etc.) 2️⃣ Naturally correct expressions that come up during the conversation 3️⃣ Focus on the flow, avoiding grammar and over-explaining [Growth Goals] ✅ Be able to speak Japanese without thinking ✅ Be able to avoid silences during casual conversations with Japanese people ✅ Be able to understand nuances and the atmosphere 🌏 Cultural Japanese for Real Life (Culture- and Value-Based Japanese) [For People Who] 🇯🇵 Want to Learn More About Japanese Culture, Customs, and Ways of Thinking 🇯🇵 Want to Know Why Japanese People Say/Behave the Way They Do [Lesson Overview] 1️⃣ Choose a cultural or everyday topic and hold a conversation (e.g., ambiguous expressions, etiquette, silence, reading the atmosphere, etc.) 2️⃣ Explain not only the expressions but also the underlying thinking [Growth Goals] ✅ Reduce awkwardness when conversing with Japanese people ✅ Understand the hidden meanings of words ✅ Easier relationships in Japan ☕ Relaxed Free Talk (All Levels) (Relaxed/Chat) [For People Who] 🇯🇵 Want to speak without worrying about making mistakes 🇯🇵 Want to increase the amount of time they spend using Japanese without feeling nervous [Lesson Process] 1️⃣ Natural, free conversation, like you'd have at a cafe 2️⃣ Short feedback only when necessary [Growth Goals] ✅ Eliminate resistance to speaking Japanese ✅ Improve conversational speed and responsiveness 🌟 About My Lessons In my lessons, I emphasize "understandable Japanese" over "speaking correctly." Through my extensive experience living abroad in Japan, Brazil, and the UK, I've observed the areas where foreigners struggle with Japanese, as well as the unique ways Japanese people think and communicate. Based on that experience, I use cultural and everyday topics to help you acquire Japanese that you can use in real conversations. My goal is to have lessons that will leave you "speaking better than before, without even realizing it." 🐶 About the Trial Lesson (25 minutes) The trial lesson begins with a relaxed conversation. [Trial Lesson Contents] 🔹 Check your current Japanese level 🔹 Discuss your goals and interests 🔹 Mini-lesson through conversation 🔹 Suggestions for a learning path that's right for you Don't worry if you're unsure where to start! ❗️ Lesson Rules (Important Requests) To ensure a pleasant lesson, please adhere to the following: ✏️ Bring a notebook and writing utensils to jot down new expressions 💻 Please check your internet connection and device before the lesson ⏰ Please cancel your lesson at least 24 hours in advance ⚠️ If you need to cancel within 24 hours, please contact us via AmazingTalker.
