Speak Standard TOKYO JAPANESE clearly and confidently!

㊙️ I Teach Standard Japanese Neutral Accent (With Tokyo Accent) How to master the standard Tokyo Accent! Who this lesson is for: Learners who want to improve and want to speak perfect Japanese pronunciation. Learners whose native language is not Japanese. Foreign employees of a Japanese company who need Japanese language training. International students coming to Japan. Students enrolled in a Japanese language school or majoring in Japanese in college. I will teach you to real natural standard Japanese with the Tokyo accent. Japan's every city has dialects. Tokyo is the capital of Japan. Most Television shows, newscasters, radio, etc Japan’s entertainment business-speak standard Tokyo accent. But Today, it is the form taught in schools, used in official communication. Yes, Standard Japanese is the primary language taught in schools and used in all official matters. There is a main distinction between the different Japanese dialects. They are divided into two major types: the Tokyo-type and the Kyoto or Osaka type. As you can probably guess, it is a division based on the northern and the southern dialects. Thus, there are numerous subdivisions shaped in each particular region. So, Japanese people came from southern Japan and northern Japan, their dialects are different. They don't understand their language with each other at all. Then, they have to speak standard Japanese to each other. So I think you should learn standard Japanese with the Tokyo accent not just because I am from Tokyo. The Art of Listening and Mimicking. New skills for Japanese language Pitch, Tone. Have a deeper knowledge of the Japanese vowel sounds and rhythm How to speak standard Japanese dynamically and with intention

Toshi is calm and collected and so patient in his approach. I felt challenged to push myself right from the get go which is what I was looking for in pursuing a tutor. He gave a lot of great positive feedback as well which really helps motivate me. It has only been one lesson so far but I'm so excited to return next week.

My first session with Toshi was great, and I look forward to continue working with him in the future! We went over hiragana, their pronunciation, and the correct intonation of words. Toshi was both helpful and patient, as well as able to give clear responses to any of the questions I brought up. Overall, I would definitely recommend Toshi!

My first lesson was great. I struggle in class and avoid problem words or difficult grammar because I don't want to hold up my class. It's great to be able to have someone patient to help in these areas and build my confidence.
