About Me
Hey!
I am Malou, graduated as a japanologist at Ghent University in 2019. I recently moved to Leuven, where I am completing my second study in music. Despite that new twist, Japan has continued to be a big part of my life. I am lucky enough to still speak Japanese every day with the friend I made here, and to experience unique adventures every now and then. For example, I was an interpreter at the Olympic Games with the Belgian team and I translated for Eiko Ishibashi at the World Soundtrack Awards.
I would like to share my pleasure in speaking the language with other people.

Japanese is a beautiful language, but how do you get started? Reading, speaking, and writing each come with their own difficulties that are quite different from what we're accustomed to in European languages.

I'm more than happy to provide you with Japanese lessons tailored to what you want to learn.

Would you like to...
master the basics in preparation of travelling to Japan?
prepare for higher studies Japanese?
learn to listen and read?

I'm here to assist you with that!
I believe anyone looking to learn a new language should engage with it daily. That's why learning Japanese in Belgium can be tricky! For those who are interested, I offer extra practice sessions and tips throughout the week to help you master Japanese as quickly as possible. 一緒に頑張りましょう!
