Hello, I'm Saori. If you're serious about improving your Japanese, you've come to the right place!
What makes me stand out as a teacher:
I'm dedicated to your progress and will provide candid feedback, pinpointing your mistakes and suggesting better ways to express yourself.
As a native Japanese speaker, I have experience teaching Japanese courses ranging from novice to advanced levels at U.S. universities.
My educational background includes a master's degree in Second Language Acquisition with a specialization in Japanese language teaching.
Having spent 10 years as an adult living in a foreign country (the U.S.), I understand the unique challenges of learning a language while abroad.
You may be aware that many native speakers don't correct your Japanese. Even when they don't understand, especially Japanese people, they often nod and smile, pretending to comprehend. This can lead to repeating the same mistakes for years without realizing it.
I've walked in your shoes. Having spent a decade as an adult in a foreign country, I can relate to your experiences. I'm here to support you on your language learning journey, offering honest insights that your friends or colleagues may not be able to provide when necessary.
I'm excited to hear from you and help you achieve your language goals!
It depends on the environment you dive into. It is important to "throw" yourself into the full Japanese culture. If you can make an environment where you HAVE TO speak and listen to Japanese for yourself, then it can be easier to learn the language.
The easiest way to learn the language would be, on top of what stated above, to take Japanese lessons from a professional teacher on a regular basis. That way you can learn the language comprehensively from the basics to advanced such as honorifics/humbles and maintain a balanced approach.
