    Japanese you actually use! Learn real Japanese with native local uni student. Not a textbook-type teacher, practical, spontaneous, and fun!
    Everyone from Beginners to advanced! Want to learn real casual Japanese from someone who actually uses it? Whether you’re casually curious or getting ready to go to Japan, I’m here to help — we can meet right here in Brno! I’m a natural at mixing Japanese while talking in English, so you’ll get used to it in no time! You can learn Japanese as if you are talking to a friend, or I can also be teacher-like if that’s more comfortable! If you are more advanced, and want to learn formal/business Japanese, of course! I can guide you the proper etiquette, manners, phrases(敬語), etc...since I have experiences working in 4 star hotels in Tokyo. If you are curious about other cases, feel free to contact me. I’m a Japanese university student currently living in Brno. I spent over 5 years in the U.S., so I can explain things clearly in English (IELTS 7.5), and I’m especially great at explaining how to pronounce and explaining grammar/culture from unique perspectives! — no confusing grammar talk unless you want it (no worries, I will be flexible!) If you’re planning to visit or study in Japan, I can help you feel confident before you go: from ordering food and asking for directions to cultural tips and everyday manners. I will provide you on how to actually survive and have a blast! If you’re just interested in the language or culture, we can keep it casual and fun — talking about anime, music, trends, or anything else you’re into. I focus on real-life Japanese — including slang, casual speech, and expressions that textbooks won’t teach you — especially those used by young people. Lessons are relaxed, flexible, and built around your pace, interests, and schedule. Let’s make learning Japanese something you look forward to!! ———more about myself——— Architecture: I’m an architecture student currently studying full degree in Brno, if you are interested in architecture I would love to talk!!! music: I absolutely looooove ONE OK ROCK!! I have been to their lives in Japan, and am going to one in Prague this year!! I also listen to Green Day, fall out boy, twenty one pilots, Ellegarden, radwimps, etc! I was a vocalist/ guitarist in 軽音部 (kei-on music club) while high school and love Karaoke! Anime: I love anime, and my all time favorite is Hunter x Hunter, Full metal Alchemist, JoJo’s Bizarre adventure, Death note, NANA, Ouran high school host club, and so many more I can’t choose!

I teach at Japanese School in Geneva and also offer private Japanese lessons from a complete beginner including children to an advanced learner.

I offer my lessons online, face to face at my place or near my place. All my students are repeated students who enjoy engaging and interactive atmosphere. I hope to see you soon in my lesson!

    I am a Japanese woman who was born and raised in Osaka Japan. I studied cross-cultural communication at a university in Tokyo and followed a Japanese language teacher education program established by the Japanese government. These courses are intended for people who want to learn Japanese but also Japanese culture. Are you passionate about manga or cooking? Or do you want to chat with your Japanese or Japanese friends? Otherwise you want to travel or work in Japan? (Learn professional and important codes for all companies, officers and employees.) I would happily teach you the Japanese and Japanese culture you need :)
