General Notices

Hi, my name is Shiho and I live in Germany. I have completed the Advanced Skills of Teaching Japanese course and am certified to teach Japanese.

What are you interested in learning?

・I want to learn languages in an enjoyable way
・I want to live abroad / study abroad
・I want a chance to spea in Japanese

If any of these apply to you, 

let me help you!

【Self Introduction】

During my one-year study abroad in Germany, I fell in love with the relaxed and unhurried pace of life there, prompting me to relocate to Germany. Since October 2023, I have been studying EU economics and politics at a German university. As a language enthusiast, I have lernt English, German, Korean, Swahili, and Russian. I have visited several countries including China, Thailand, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, and Peru. I have a great fondness for nature, especially in Freiburg, Germany, Cusco, Peru, and Walas.


【Personal History】

□ 2014 - 2018 studied in International Relations at a university in Japan. 
□ 2016 - 2017 exchange program at the University of Mainz in Germany (linguistics)
□ 2018 - August 2022 worked in the Japanese hotel industry (in front desk, curation, and marketing)
□ In August 2022 a 480-hour Japanese teacher training course completed and obtained a certification as a Japanese language teacher.
□ Since October 2023 a master programme in European Culture and Economy at a university in Germany.

【Lessons that I am currently offering】

□ N3-N2 Japanese conversation・・Casual chat / Basic Japanese
□ N2-N1 Discussion in Japanese・・Topic discussion

【Teaching Style】

- There are no textbooks provided. If you have any materials you would like to use for study, you are welcome to bring them. Please consult with me during a free counseling session.
  
- Language learning varies for each individual. I adapt the lessons to suit each person's needs.
  
- For those who are not comfortable with free talk but want as much conversation practice as possible and do not know what to talk about, I will provide a questionnaire in advance. The questions are simple, such as "What are your hobbies?" or "What would you like to do once you have mastered the language?" and we will build the conversation from there. You will not have to worry about coming up with topics.
  
- During the lessons, we not only focus on language learning but also immerse ourselves in the culture and daily life of Japan, which could creat an atmosphere as if you were learning in Japan.

★ Most importantly, have fun learning!
I value your excitement and joy in learning.
★ I will point out any mistakes you make.
I will teach you gently, but also be firm once in a while, as if I do not correct your mistakes on the spot, they will become “fossilized” (you will end up remembering them incorrectly).
★ Don’t fret even if you aren’t confident in your language skills yet!
We will practice areas that you do not understand over and over again, so you will feel more confident after the lesson.

I look forward to seeing you in my lesson!
