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.
