Interested in Chinese, Japanese, or East Asian cultures? Let's bring your language learning to life! I'm originally from China and currently live in Japan. I started learning Japanese, English, and Korean as an adult, so I know what it's like to learn a language from scratch — and how exciting it feels when you can finally express yourself in another language! I've been teaching Mandarin since 2021, working with learners from different backgrounds through online lessons. I also teach Japanese and enjoy helping students discover the connections between languages and cultures. What can we explore together? 🌏 Whether you're a complete beginner or already know some Chinese or Japanese, I'd love to help you build confidence through practical, enjoyable lessons. We can focus on: Everyday conversations — expressing yourself naturally, beyond textbook phrases. Travel & real-life situations — ordering food, getting around, meeting people, and more. Culture & daily life — exploring China, Japan, and other East Asian cultures through language. Chinese & Japanese connections — discovering how the two languages relate, or learning one through the other. What's it like to learn with me? My lessons are relaxed, interactive, and adapted to your interests and level. I believe language learning should be more than memorizing vocabulary and grammar. It's about connecting with people, understanding different perspectives, and discovering new ways of seeing the world. We'll still work on vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation, but always with the goal of helping you actually use the language. I love getting to know people from different backgrounds, and I genuinely enjoy the conversations and cultural exchanges that come with teaching. If you're curious about Chinese or Japanese and want to make language learning an enjoyable part of your life, I'd be happy to meet you! Let's have a chat and see where your language journey takes you! 🍀
