Konnichiwa!こんにちは!

Are you going to Japan? Do you like Mangas? The culture and the Japanese language attract you but you never dared to start?
On the contrary, you already have a good foundation and want to take the JLPT exam? Or maybe you have to speak Japanese at work?

My courses are adaptable according to your level and your objectives:
- Discovery of culture and language (great beginners and false beginners)
- Improvement to prepare JLPT 1-5 exams
- Professional needs

We can work writing and speaking, with a method (Japan Foundation) or any other desired medium.

Whatever your motivation and level, Maki Sensei is here to help! (^ O ^)

This is an online Japanese interview preparation class for students who want to prepare for job interviews, university interviews, or other formal situations.

In this lesson, you will practice answering common interview questions in Japanese, such as self-introduction, strengths and weaknesses, motivation, and future goals.

I will help you improve your answers, correct mistakes, and teach you natural and polite Japanese expressions commonly used in interviews. You will also learn how to speak more clearly and confidently.
