My name is Kodai. A. I lived in the city of Irkutsk in Russia for 8 years, from September 2013 to September 2021!
I specialized in Russian language education, having studied Russian teaching methods in graduate school! I will provide you with intensive lessons based on my extensive teaching materials and experience!
(Qualifications and achievements)

In Japan, for a short period of time, I worked at the Interlink Japan Russia Visa Center in Akasaka, Japan, as the only Japanese staff member in the company working on visa applications (2019.8-2019.9).
Other than that, I worked as a translation agent and volunteer staff at the Japan Information Center in Irkutsk Oblast.
In addition to my studies, I have been engaged in volunteer activities to introduce Japanese culture to children attending schools in Irkutsk, and in 2020 I received a certificate of appreciation from the Irkutsk State Government for these volunteer activities.

(Class contents)
Since Russian uses the Cyrillic alphabet, which is unfamiliar to Japanese, and has six case changes, the learning speed is slower than in English.
Even if you start your language study in Russia from zero and take two 90-minute classes for five days a week for ten months, the level of Russian you can reach in the end is usually B1, which is said to be convenient enough in social life. Even if you take private lessons and increase your study time significantly, I think you can just barely reach the B2 level. That is how difficult this language is.
Based on the above, if you are interested in learning Russian, especially if you are planning to start from scratch, it is important to persevere, continue regularly and reviewing is also essential.
Therefore, in addition to learning grammar and pronunciation, I also use a lot of simple cartoons and videos related to Russia to absorb Russian culture as well!
The course materials will be provided free of charge (PDF file). If you have studied Russian before, please take the proficiency test (I will prepare one) first to check your current level.
If you wish, I can also prepare you for the ТРКИ (Russian Language Proficiency Test approved by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation). I can help you to pass the second level (B2).
