Let's work with GENKI! It must be so much fun!
I really enjoy meeting new people and love to talk about Japanese culture especially movie(Ghibli!),TV-shows (Shogun!),music(City Pop!),food(Ramen!) and turism(I'm from Tokyo!)
I will listen to you as carefully as possible to make the lesson meaningful. What are you interested in about Japan? History, travel, movie, music, anime, traditional entertainment, food or else? Think of learning not Japanese, but what you love through Japanese because what you love motivates you for learning the most.
One of my typical lesson styles is a situational dialogue. Let's have fun.
Lessons are online only.

About Akira K.
4.8
(15)
(Please message me before you purchase the first lesson. My availability is not updated on the calendar here.)
I was born and raised in Tokyo Japan, graduated from the literature department of Waseda University. I realize learning another language is tough and requires patience a lot from my experience in learning English.
I will listen to you as carefully as possible to make the lesson meaningful. I try to listen and understand what my student is interested in and which direction she/he wants to go.
I use GENKI as a textbook.
Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions.
I am sure that lessons gonna be fun!

Had good instruction and a good lesson. Helped me really understand what I was learning. Especially since Japanese is a really hard language for English speakers to learn.

Takelessons sent me a link to join the session. I followed it (on time!). He wasn't there. He texted I should use a different link. I followed the link he sent (google meet). Then he texted and said i followed the wrong link, that i should be on zoom. I never got a zoom invitation! So he sent that. By then, we had lost 15 minutes, so i gave up. Disappointed.
