Pablo
Student in Japan for 3 years, offers online courses!
I have been a French student in Japan for 2 years now at APU University (OITA Prefecture)!! I also hold the N2, Japanese certification. I offer introductory and advanced Japanese language training, which is essential for traveling and communicating with Japanese people. Upon request, I can also assist with academic Japanese language training, which can be used for university studies in Japan. I prefer speaking and could, upon request, give you the opportunity to chat with some of my Japanese friends to familiarize you with the different accents and the Japanese language. I also have Japanese language textbooks provided by the university that I will refer to if needed. Being a big fan of manga and anime myself, I plan to use them to further the course!! Typical procedure: - discussion about everyday life - introduction of new words and KANJI/KANA - written and oral practice - introduction to a new grammar and putting it into practice - discussion and analysis of manga/anime or other media This course is aimed at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. よろしくお願いします!!
