Class Experience

In this class, learners will be exposed to many basic Japanese words. 
Followings are an example of lessons for the first four weeks.

Week 1  Greetings. ("Good morning", "Good afternoon", "Good evening", "Good night") We will talk about what we know about Japan)
Week 2  Animal names. We will also learn what sound they make in Japanese. We will also learn the verb "to keep pets".
Week 3  Food names. We will make phrases using the verb "to eat".
Week 4  Colour names. We will learn adjective forms for the colours and describe things around us.

I will use alphabetical description of the Japanese sounds (rōmaji), and slowly practice hiragana and katakana.
Each class has a topic to cover, but there is a room for learners to request other topics of their interest.

Learning Goals

Students will understand basic greeting phrases, names of things, and basic verbs.

Hello!

I teach Japanese at Outschool.
Japanese spoken in the country differs slightly depending on the region. I teach with the one spoken in the Greater Tokyo area.

I have classes for different levels:

PreA1 (Total Beginners)
A1-1 (for beginners with some knowledge of Japanese words or phrases)
A1-2 (for beginners who can write and read sentences with hiragana and katakana)
A2 (for elementary-level learners who can speak simple phrases comfortably)
B1  (for intermediate-level learners who can exchange opinions in Japanese)

To give you a rough idea of your levels:

CEFR              JLPT
A1 - A2    =        N5
A2           =         N4
B1           =         N3

*CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages)
*JLPT (Japanese-Language Proficiency Test offered by the Japan Foundation and Japan Educational Exchange and Services)

I have experience teaching children, college students, and adults in different classroom settings.

Learning new languages widens our perspectives. My classes will help you make new friends and find something interesting in Japan.

Along with studying the language, we will learn several aspects of Japanese culture. I prefer my classes to be interactive, and I welcome various questions from learners.

I am looking forward to meeting you in my classes!
