Nice to meet you! My name is RIRI MASUDA. My students call me “Riri-sensei”. Thank you so much for visiting my profile page. I love the Japanese language so I went to Japan to study Japanese, where I met and married my husband. I love the Japanese language so much that I went back to Japan three years ago to study Japanese in graduate school. I have 20 years of teaching experience. I offer lessons for both children and adults. I teach children as young as 4 years old and adults up to senior citizens. I teach the Chinese language to Japanese students, and Japanese language to Taiwanese students. I have just started teaching at Cafetalk. I look forward to learning the language with you in an enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere ^^ Please do not hesitate to contact me!
❁ Self Introduction
I am originally from Taichung City, Taiwan. I can speak and pronounce both forms of Chinese that is used in China and in Taiwan. I stayed in Japan for a while from 1995, then married a Japanese person and lived in Japan for about 7 years. There, I learned about the lifestyle and culture of the Japanese people, so I can teach daily conversation that can be used instantly in both Chinese and Japanese. Ever since I returned to Taiwan, I have been working as a Chinese and Japanese language teacher. I also wanted to learn more Japanese, so I enrolled in a graduate school program in Taiwan and was able to obtain a master’s degree at the end of my studies. With such experiences, I would like to share the joy of learning the wonderful culture and language of both countries with more people. I look forward to meeting you ^^
