Japanese with a former beginner, certified teacher

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
No, Japanese is not an exotic language or one reserved for manga fans, and impossible to really master... even for French speakers! As proof, here I am after several years of learning, diversifying my language course offering. After Dutch, German, English and Russian, I am adding Japanese to my range.
○ I teach full-time; it’s not a hobby ○ Good news: for me, learning is not limited to long lists of vocabulary. My classes take place in a relaxed and caring atmosphere, I am in opposition to the strict-rigid framework of some schools

In class, we combine learning grammar (a crucial and comforting foundation for beginners) with numerous practical exercises and role-playing exercises so that the student can manage on their own in the real world.

Above all, I transform language into a kind of game/code that must be deciphered. It is then enough to "grasp" the logic... It is "enough" of course - but that is my job - I will take care of it!

I have a myriad of paper materials but I prefer PowerPoints and other fun, interactive tools projected on my TV/computer screen when the course is online.

➤ Theory, exercises, supports provided free of charge with our courses


✦ We are a team, get involved; write to me outside of class ✦

■ By email, text message, or WhatsApp: for your questions, clarifications, requests between classes
■ My courses are tax deductible, I issue invoices.

I like to differentiate myself from those distant teachers who don't make you want to learn.

About Me

As a student at the Higher Institute of Translators and Interpreters, I offer language courses to both children and adults.
-> I have the advantage of having been a student too. I therefore know the difficulties that can be had outside of one's mother tongue.

Sophie is above all a person who is passionate about the languages she teaches. She offers courses that adapt to your needs and demonstrates a lot of pedagogy in her courses. Furthermore, she is very friendly and puts you at ease straight away, which means you don't feel like you're back at school. I therefore highly recommend to anyone who would like to learn English or Russian to take lessons with Sophie

Great teacher. Very well prepared and able to explain all the subtleties of the language in a clear and understandable way. I highly recommend taking classes with Sophie.

○ I support students full time, it's my job (it's not a hobby) ○ ✦ Guarantee of success, 98% of exams validated from 2017 to 2023, 95% from 2015 to 2017. Your success is important to me, I make it a real personal matter ✦ Dear future students/parents of students: Dutch is indeed poorly taught in French-speaking schools. But, yes, we can learn to appreciate it (Or stop being afraid of it?) My classes are often punctuated with laughter, I am not a fan of the strict-rigid atmosphere of some schools. Nevertheless, I make it a point of honor to ensure that this benevolence does not affect the learning and progress of the student. ✦ Effective and pragmatic teaching technique ✦ I combine learning grammar (essential for beginners) with numerous practical exercises and role-playing situations to ensure that the student will be able to cope in the real world. Above all, I transform language into a kind of game/code that must be deciphered. It is then enough to "grasp" the logic I have a plethora of paper materials but work mainly using PowerPoints and other fun and interactive tools projected on my TV/computer screen when the course is held online. ✎✎ 2 theory syllabuses; 2 exercise syllabuses provided free of charge with our courses ✦ We are a team, don't skimp on contacts ✦ ■ I can be reached by email, text message, or WhatsApp: for your questions, clarifications, requests between classes ■ Follow-up for parents (how to manage a student who is failing/having academic difficulties, how to help them in a practical way, reports of our courses). ■ My courses are tax deductible, I can provide invoices
Being a student myself, I have the advantage of understanding the student. I think that studying a language is not only about learning vocabulary lists. I have been teaching for 7 years, and have already helped around fifty students of different ages. My Erasmus in Manchester in a situation of total bilingualism has enriched the way I teach and I can pride myself on guaranteeing a fast and pleasant progression! ;) -> NOBODY has "no gift" for languages, the key is just to let you guide.
○ I teach and interpret English full time. It is not a hobby, but rather the professional continuation of my Bachelor and Master degrees ○ ✦ Guarantee of success, no student involved has ever failed, I make it a real personal matter ✦ Effective and pragmatic teaching technique Good news: I believe that studying a language is not limited to long lists of vocabulary.

Maybe our lessons will be the highlight of your day?

Let's learn Japanese with a native through a casual talk
-------About me Name: Ayaka Origin: Osaka Japanese: Standard Japanese, Kansai dialect Jobs: Flight Attendant (past), Yoga Instructor (active) Hobbies: Traveling, Yoga, Photography, Walking and hiking, Cooking, Skiing, Animal lover ----------About the Lesson--------------------- The main focus will be on "Speaking." Q. Why is speaking the main focus? A. We want you to experience the joy of speaking Japanese through free talk. Just learning words from manga is not easy to understand what natives say in daily life. I will assist you in learning vocabulary and acquiring natural expressions by speaking with native Japanese speakers. -----A message to the students at the end----- I love cultural exchange and have a friendly personality. Having traveled to various countries and learning German, I understand the challenges and joys of learning a new language firsthand. This makes me happy to be able to help you learn Japanese. I look forward to the day when we can have enjoyable conversations together.

We approach vocabulary, grammar, conversation and listening in a progressive and interactive way. Are you a beginner? No worries, we will work from the basics using French or English to help you. If you already have some knowledge, we will choose together the grammar points on which you will focus to progress effectively :) 🍡 Advanced Reading and Listening For learners who already have a solid foundation, these courses help strengthen your reading and listening skills. If you have texts or content that you would like to explore, we will use them in class. Otherwise, I will provide you with resources adapted to your level and interests! 🍡 JLPT exam preparation Prepare effectively for the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test), a recognized exam that validates your level of Japanese. Whether it's to boost your chances for studies, a job or simply to challenge yourself, my courses will guide you with targeted exercises and strategies adapted to your level. In the first lesson, we will discuss in Japanese/French/English to assess your level of Japanese, your expectations for the Japanese course, as well as the books we will use. Each one-hour lesson takes place online or at my home in Prilly. Organize your classes at your own pace: once a week, every two weeks, or even in intensive sessions lasting several hours! I look forward to supporting you in your learning of Japanese, and sharing my culture with you! 🌸

Human medicine materials, biology +. Biochemistry + biostatistics and others for university students, as well as the English language for all levels and the Japanese language.
In language learning lessons, it is determined according to the student’s level and desire. You can start from the first level for beginners. In Japanese language lessons, the book we learn from is Minna no Nihongo, which is considered a very rich book and suitable for learners of the Japanese language from scratch, and it provides a rich experience in grammar, words, and kanji that is appropriate for this stage.

I offer introductory and advanced Japanese language training, which is essential for traveling and communicating with Japanese people.

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!!
