About me
Translated
Hello! I'm Kao 😊
I love talking with people and sharing in their growth. I used to work as a nurse, and I'm here to listen to your Japanese "slowly and thoroughly" until the end.
Feel free to speak without worrying about making mistakes!
I understand how it feels to be anxious about pronunciation or not being able to convey your thoughts. If you're worried about whether you can speak well, don't be! Let's experience the joy of speaking Japanese together!
✅ Lesson Content
Let's create a lesson plan together that fits your goals and level!
1. [For Beginners]
- If you want to focus on daily conversation: Let's practice speaking together!
- If you're new to Japanese: We'll use the "Minna no Nihongo" textbook to learn step by step from the basics.
- If you can speak a little: We can have conversation-centered lessons while learning the basics from the textbook! Let's practice using what you've learned right away.
2. [For Intermediate Learners]
- If you understand grammar but want to speak more naturally, this is highly recommended!
Through free talk, you'll immerse yourself in Japanese and learn "more natural expressions" and "nuances."
3. [Others]
If you want to learn Japanese for travel or study simple Japanese for use in welfare settings, that's great too! Let me know what you want to communicate. We'll practice Japanese together to make sure your message gets across.
Recommended for:
- Those who want to gain confidence in speaking Japanese
- Those who want to output what they know in Japanese
- Those who want to make friends with native Japanese speakers
- Those who want to talk about hobbies
- Those who want to discuss each other's cultures
📍 About Me
- Born and raised in Okinawa: It's a beautiful place with stunning beaches and a popular tourist destination!
- I live in Shizuoka: I live in a place where I can see Mount Fuji. Shizuoka has many hot springs too.
- I love the cherry blossoms in spring and the beautiful autumn leaves in Japan's four seasons. Of course, I’d love to hear about your country as well!
- I absolutely love Japanese food like sushi and ramen, as well as sweets. When I travel, I enjoy trying famous local foods and taking pictures of beautiful scenery.
