Nice to meet you! My name is Shimako.W.
I am originally from Tokyo, Japan, and have been living in South Korea for 12 years now.
My main occupation is a nursery school teacher and kindergarten teacher. I have worked at nursery schools and kindergartens in both Japan and in South Korea for about 13 years. After I got married and started living in South Korea, I taught advanced Japanese conversation classes at cram schools and companies for 2 years, and I really enjoyed teaching Japanese to Korean students, which is what led me to start teaching at Cafetalk!
If you have studied Japanese but don’t have many chances to speak Japanese, you can talk about your interests, about Japan, about what happened to you today, or anything else with me.
Feel free to talk as if you were chatting with a friend♪
I will correct your pronunciation and teach you natural expressions while having fun chatting in Japanese.
If you don’t have a chance to speak Korean, or if you are curious about life in South Korea and you want to learn Korean expressions that native speakers use, I can share these information with you in an easy-to-understand manner, as a Korean language learner myself. (I’m still learning too!).
If you have any difficulties understanding, I can provide supplementary explanations in Japanese, English (daily conversation level), as well as in Korean (proficient).
I am looking forward to connecting with people from all over the world and having many conversations with them!
Thank you very much!
