General Notices

Ayumi H Tutor Profile

~Learn "Japanese as a language" and "Japanese as a culture" in a friendly atmosphere~
I provide lessons that match the purpose and level of each student.
I will help you in having a "natural conversation" to build a better relationship with Japanese people!


Do you have any trouble using Japanese?

This is totally different from what I learned in the textbooks!

What Japanese people want to say is vague (ambiguous) and I don't understand it well...

The grammar is correct, but I feel or have been told that it is unnatural.

This is because Japanese is a language with a large difference between written and spoken Japanese, and also because it is a language with a unique cultural background that values harmony and prefers ambiguity.

To understand the fine nuances of a language, it is important to understand the culture.

I believe that this understanding can be further deepened by learning from "people" and not just from textbooks.

That being said, there are many fine nuances of language that can only be learned with basic knowledge.

Since language is for communication, it is very important to first "be understood by native speakers" to gain confidence.

Therefore, I have prepared lessons/courses that are suitable for beginners to learn Japanese from the basics.
