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

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

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.

■ My courses are tax deductible, I can provide invoices
I like to differentiate myself from those distant teachers who don't make you want to learn.
Maybe our lessons will be the highlight of your day?
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.

Chiaki
Japanese Lessons - Born in Tokyo, I have a Master's degree in Language Education and am certified in Japanese language teachingHello!🍡
My name is Chiaki (千明 in Japanese, it means "a thousand lights") and I am a Japanese teacher in Lausanne. Passionate about foreign languages and cultures, I studied Japanese teaching at university and obtained a master's degree in language teaching.
I truly believe that a good teacher is also a learner. Through my own experiences with languages like English, German, Arabic, Italian, Korean, and French, I have come to understand the challenges, doubts, and joys that come with diving into a new language.
For me, learning a language is more than just words. It’s a way to see the world through a new lens, to understand different cultures, and to build bridges between people.
I believe that this knowledge can break down barriers and foster a more peaceful world. 🕊️
As a Japanese teacher, my goal is to offer my students the chance to discover the world through the “Japanese prism”🌈
If you dream of learning Japanese, I would be happy to accompany you :)
Ayaka
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.
Alice
Native Japanese teacher gives Japanese lessons at all levels (18 years of experience). Personalized methodologyAll my lessons will be based on the correct interpretation of the nuances of the language, and this is where my "TRI-CULTURE" will serve you best!
I will teach you the language and its grammar, as well as the culture and customs through different media chosen especially for each student.
I start with Hiragana Katakana which are the basis of the Japanese language, then I continue with the grammar rules necessary to found your own sentences.
Then I begin the more elaborate grammar rules of conjugation using different media (texts, videos, songs, etc.) with explanations of sentence nuances.
I'll cover Kanji (for those who are interested) and I'll explain how they work, which isn't always very well explained when you start learning Japanese alone.
I always give homework from one class to the next so that you don't forget what we learned in class.
For JLPT preparations I will base myself on past papers or other materials which will allow you to work on your gaps (Listening, Reading or Writing).
I also do exam and interview preparation coaching, particularly working on Keigo and polite turns of phrase.
