Bonjour, my name is Rio.
After graduating from high school, I went on to an university in a French-speaking region and completed my bachelor’s and master’s degrees with local students. During that time, I taught French to expatriate employees of Japanese companies and their families.
My conversational French is now almost at a native level, and I can speak with such natural phrasing and pronunciation that even French speakers do not notice that I am a foreigner, but I originally learned French as a foreign language from the alphabet. I am not only bilingual, but I have also experienced frustrations and failures, and have spent a lot of time learning French, so I believe I can help you learn French.
My strength is that I understand what is difficult for Japanese speakers and how to explain it in a way that is easy for them to understand.
If you have questions about grammar that native French speakers cannot answer, I can explain them in detail in Japanese.
If you speak some French, I will teach you in French, and if you are a beginner, I will teach you in Japanese.
If you are not yet brave enough to speak one-on-one with a native speaker, or if you would like to talk freely in French but with explanations in Japanese, or if you would like to ask a variety of grammar questions in Japanese, this is the lesson for you.
(I am Japanese, so I recommend that advanced level students take lessons with native speakers.)
I also offer consulting services on how to study and how to choose learning materials.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any specific problems, if you are struggling to reach a certain level, or if you don’t know where to start.
Profile
I have been studying French since I was 10 years old, and took French as my first language in junior high school. After graduating from high school, I went to a French-speaking region on my own and obtained a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree. During my studies, I worked as a freelance French language tutor, translator, and interpreter. I have now returned to Japan and am working in a French language-related position.
