Speak More Japanese: Conversation Practice with Personalised Feedback
From 58 C$ /h
Do you study Japanese but rarely have the opportunity to actually speak it? This class is designed for learners who want to spend less time listening to explanations and more time expressing themselves in Japanese.
You will do most of the talking. I will ask follow-up questions, explore your answers in more depth, and help you keep the conversation going. We can talk about daily life, travel, work, Japanese culture, current interests, or any topic on which you would like to share your thoughts.
I previously worked as a consultant in Japan. Asking questions, leading discussions, and helping people organise and communicate their ideas clearly were important parts of my work. I use these skills to create conversations that go beyond simple small talk.
I will not interrupt you for every small mistake. You will first have the opportunity to finish expressing your thoughts. I will then help you correct important mistakes and introduce more natural ways of saying what you wanted to say.
After the lesson, I can also send you personalised feedback notes containing corrections, natural expressions, and alternative ways to communicate your ideas.
This class is ideal for learners who already know some basic Japanese but need more opportunities to speak. The aim is to improve your fluency, confidence, and ability to hold deeper conversations in Japanese.
Lessons are available in person in Groningen and online.

About Me
I am a native Japanese speaker from Japan, currently living in Groningen. My lessons are designed for learners who already study Japanese but need more opportunities to actually speak it.
I create a relaxed and encouraging environment where you can speak without being interrupted for every small mistake. I ask follow-up questions, explore your answers in more depth, and help you express your thoughts more clearly and naturally in Japanese.
I previously worked as a consultant in Japan, where I regularly conducted interviews, facilitated discussions, organised complex information, and helped people communicate their ideas clearly. I use these skills to make conversations go beyond simple small talk.
You will do most of the speaking during the lesson. After the lesson, I can also provide personalised notes with corrections, more natural expressions, and alternative ways to communicate what you wanted to say.
I especially enjoy working with motivated adult learners who want to improve their fluency, confidence, and ability to hold meaningful conversations in Japanese.

Experience / Qualifications
Native Japanese speaker with professional experience as a consultant in Japan.
My consulting work involved interviewing people, asking effective follow-up questions, facilitating discussions, structuring ideas, reviewing written materials, and communicating complex information clearly.
