Japanese courses up to level B1 — language, culture and discovery of JapanTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Japanese courses up to level B1 — language, culture and discovery of JapanTranslate this text using Google Translate.

A year in Nagoya, Japan, daily practice of Japanese, educational resources and a passion for Japanese language and culture. I offer Japanese courses from beginner level up to B1 level, in Lyon or remotely, for students and adults wishing to learn the language, prepare for a trip, deepen their knowledge of Japan or simply learn Japanese out of passion. I studied Japanese as part of my studies at the ENS in Lyon and had the opportunity to spend a year in Nagoya, Japan, as part of my Master 2. While there, I took 1.5 hours of Japanese lessons per day, while also practicing the language daily with Japanese people. I still regularly practice Japanese in Lyon, particularly in language cafés, and I keep in touch with my Japanese friends. Japanese is therefore a language I continue to use and work on every day. Learn Japanese in a progressive and personalized way I offer Japanese lessons from beginner to B1 level, following a short placement test, adapting to each student's goals: language learning, conversation, preparation for a trip or university exchange. I work on both written and spoken Japanese—grammar, vocabulary, kanji, comprehension, and expression—and have access to textbooks, exercises, and course materials, including those from my year of study in Nagoya. Having lived in Japan for a year, where I took 1.5 hours of Japanese lessons every day and practiced extensively with native speakers, I can also offer a very practical approach to the language and everyday situations. I continue to practice Japanese regularly in Lyon. I also offer sessions on Japanese culture, history, and society, enriched by my studies at the ENS (École Normale Supérieure), my Master's degree in Japanese history, and my experience living there. Having traveled extensively throughout the country, I can also advise future travelers on regions, seasons, events, festivals, and itineraries, including those off the beaten tourist track. I can support students from their first steps up to a B1 level, after a short placement test to check the level and determine the student's objectives. Specifically, I can work on: • hiragana and katakana; • kanji; • grammar; • vocabulary; • conjugation; • written and oral comprehension; • written and oral expression; • the conversation; • pronunciation; • everyday life situations; • preparing for a trip or stay in Japan. I can also adapt the sessions to each person's objectives: general progress in Japanese, preparation for a trip, preparation for a university exchange, conversation, review of the basics or deepening of particular concepts. I have access to textbooks, teaching resources, exercises, and course materials used during my year in Nagoya, as well as resources I have created myself. Therefore, I can offer structured lessons and provide supplementary work between classes. Particular attention is paid to oral communication. My year in Japan allowed me to practice Japanese in many everyday situations, and not just in a school setting. I have had many conversations with Japanese people and continue to practice the language regularly. Therefore, I can offer conversation exercises and help students gradually move beyond Japanese learned solely from textbooks. The goal is to understand not only how to construct a sentence, but also how to use language in concrete situations. Discover Japanese culture in all its nuances I can also offer sessions dedicated to Japanese culture, history and society, in addition to language learning. My academic background allows me to approach Japan from both an academic and practical perspective. In particular, I studied Japan as part of my degree at the ENS de Lyon and completed my Master's thesis in History focusing on Japan. I also have access to university courses and resources that I can draw upon depending on the student's interests. Most importantly, I lived in Japan for a year and had the opportunity to travel extensively throughout the country, both in large cities and in regions and places less frequented by tourists. I can therefore talk about many aspects of Japanese life and culture from my personal experience: daily habits, regional differences, festivals and events, gastronomy, heritage, student life, transport, social practices, etc. Tips for traveling to Japan For people who wish to learn Japanese before a trip, I can also integrate a very practical dimension into the lessons. Having traveled for a year through different regions of Japan, I can offer advice on: • regions to discover according to your interests; • the best times to travel depending on the destination; • Japanese events and festivals; • regional routes outside of the classic tourist circuits; • the lesser-known places that I was able to discover there; • the differences between large cities and more rural areas; • everyday life situations that it may be useful to prepare for. I can also build sessions with the student around a specific trip, for example by working on the necessary vocabulary, the situations they will face and some cultural elements specific to the regions they wish to visit. An approach tailored to each student As with my other courses, I adapt to the level and objectives of each individual. A session might include, for example: • a review of the concepts seen previously; • learning new grammar or vocabulary points; • written exercises; • listening comprehension; • a conversation in Japanese adapted to the student's level; • reading and writing exercises; • a cultural or historical point; • exercises to be done between sessions. I aim to offer structured but lively courses, with a significant emphasis on practice and student progress. For who ? I can accompany: • beginners wishing to discover Japanese; • pupils and students who already have some basic knowledge; • people wishing to reach a B1 level; • future travelers to Japan; • students preparing for a university stay or exchange; • people wishing to learn Japanese out of interest in the Japanese language and culture. Before starting regular follow-up, I can offer a short placement test to check the student's level and determine objectives together. Courses in Lyon or online I offer in-person classes in Lyon or online and have the necessary equipment to work effectively remotely. I can also adapt the format of the sessions according to the needs: regular weekly classes, intensive preparation before a trip or an exam, or one-off sessions devoted to a particular theme. Please feel free to tell me about your current level, your goals and your relationship with Japanese: together we can determine the course format that will suit you best.

Japanese language class for beginners and advanced. business level is available too!Translate this text using Google Translate.

Hello! I’m Ryohei, a native Japanese speaker and tutor from Japan. I can teach a wide range of topics, from basic Japanese characters, vocabulary, and grammar to more advanced and business-level Japanese. Whether you are just starting to learn Japanese or want to improve your existing skills, I will adjust my lessons to your level and learning goals. As I was born and raised in Japan, I can teach not only correct written Japanese, but also natural and colloquial Japanese used in everyday conversations. I can also explain differences between textbook Japanese and the expressions that Japanese people actually use in real life. Have you ever wondered why a character in an anime or movie says something in a particular way, or why they behave in a certain manner? I can explain these things while taking Japanese culture, customs, and communication styles into account. This will help you understand not only the language itself, but also the cultural background behind it. I believe learning a language should be enjoyable and practical. Feel free to ask me any questions, and I’ll do my best to help you improve your Japanese step by step. If you’re interested in learning Japanese with me, please feel free to send me a message! I look forward to meeting you and helping you enjoy learning Japanese!

Speak More Japanese: Conversation Practice with Personalised FeedbackTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Speak More Japanese: Conversation Practice with Personalised FeedbackTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Do you study Japanese but rarely have the opportunity to actually speak it? This class is designed for learners who want to spend less time listening to explanations and more time expressing themselves in Japanese. You will do most of the talking. I will ask follow-up questions, explore your answers in more depth, and help you keep the conversation going. We can talk about daily life, travel, work, Japanese culture, current interests, or any topic on which you would like to share your thoughts. I previously worked as a consultant in Japan. Asking questions, leading discussions, and helping people organise and communicate their ideas clearly were important parts of my work. I use these skills to create conversations that go beyond simple small talk. I will not interrupt you for every small mistake. You will first have the opportunity to finish expressing your thoughts. I will then help you correct important mistakes and introduce more natural ways of saying what you wanted to say. After the lesson, I can also send you personalised feedback notes containing corrections, natural expressions, and alternative ways to communicate your ideas. This class is ideal for learners who already know some basic Japanese but need more opportunities to speak. The aim is to improve your fluency, confidence, and ability to hold deeper conversations in Japanese. Lessons are available in person in Groningen and online.

Learn Japanese with a JLPT N1 certified teacher with professional experience in Japan - All levelsTranslate this text using Google Translate.

I offer Japanese courses adapted to all levels, from complete beginners to learners wishing to prepare for the JLPT or develop their professional Japanese. I lived in Japan for over 4 years, including 3 years working for a Japanese company, which allowed me to acquire excellent command of the language, but also a deep understanding of Japanese culture and communication in a professional context. Having earned my JLPT N1, I also understand the challenges faced by French speakers, as I myself learned Japanese to the highest level of certification. My goal is to make this learning process clear, progressive, and motivating. My courses can help you to: * Beginners in Japanese. * Prepare for the JLPT (N5 to N1). * Improve your speaking skills and comprehension. * Preparing for a trip or an expatriation project. * Learn professional Japanese and the codes of Japanese corporate culture. Each lesson is fully personalized to your goals, level, and learning pace. I place great emphasis on practice and understanding so that you can use Japanese confidently in real-life situations. I also speak fluent English, which allows me to offer lessons in French or English, depending on your preference. Looking forward to accompanying you in your Japanese learning journey!

“ I’ve wanted to learn Japanese for a long time, but as a native English speaker it can feel like quite a daunting language to take on. Having one-to-one lessons with a native Japanese speaker has made such a difference. Kokoro is incredibly friendly, patient and approachable. She really listens, not just to what I’m trying to say, but also to how I’m saying it, and she corrects my pronunciation and mistakes in a way that is always positive, encouraging and genuinely helpful. I never feel embarrassed about getting something wrong, which makes it much easier to learn and ask questions. I’ve probably bombarded her with questions about the Japanese language and why certain things are said or written in particular ways, but she has always been happy to explain them and takes the time to make sure I understand. I genuinely enjoy my lessons with Kokoro and look forward to them. Learning Japanese is certainly a challenge, but having her guidance makes it feel much more achievable and enjoyable. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking to learn Japanese. ”

“ I recommend Khalil without a doubt to anyone looking to improve his/her German level in both writing and speaking. He is a very professional, structured and knowledgeable teacher. He was able to immediately evaluate my level of German during the very first lesson and adjust the teaching methodology and materials accordingly. I am truly impressed with his patience and dedication towards teaching the proper German pronunciation with all its complexities and difficulties as well as the proper rules when it comes to grammar and language. We also had lessons using Skype which is also a good option for those who have a limited amount of spare time or are too far apart from the teacher. It is obvious that Khalil loves what he is doing and is willing to put all his effort into his passion. I wholeheartedly recommend Khalil for anyone wanting to learn the language. ”

“ For a long time I had been looking for a Japanese teacher in Luxembourg for private lessons until I found Maki-sensei. Her teaching style is really meeting my needs: she is encouraging me to talk more in Japanese while working on my vocabulary and grammar. She is using a range of teaching materials, such as text books, audio clips, short movie-clips, and articles from web-sites, which makes her lessons very enjoyable and rewarding. After the lesson Maki-sensei provides me with a write-up with newly learned words and corrections. I am always looking forward to the next lesson and strongly recommend her for anybody wanting to learn Japanese or about Japanese culture. ”
