My private Japanese lessons will very much be inspired by my Japanese lessons I was provided in Japan, which have heavily inspired me, as well as developed my Japanese level to where it is now. Whilst I was in Japan, I really did learn a lot about how Japanese is taught by Japanese people to speakers of other languages, and I really would love to bring that knowledge and perspective I have gained whilst I was studying abroad and share it with you all!

In my lessons, I will include segments of Kanji, reading/writing, as well as the idea of a conversation section in my lessons as well. Kanji is an area which would be covered in my lessons because of how important it is in developing the Japanese reading/writing ability. Comprehension/listening is another area I would love to teach you in my lessons as well, using clips of authentic Japanese. In my lessons, it will not only consist of the Japanese language in of itself, as mentioned in my ad headline, I would love to offer insightful lessons where I can teach you specific ways Japanese is spoken in Japan (such as casual Japanese, business Japanese, job interviews in Japan, et cetera), as well as the different and varying dialects (such as the Kansai) dialect.

Ultimately, my lessons will be very much suited to the individual student and their aspirations in developing their Japanese, particularly where the areas they would love to focus on the most.
