Japanese language courses for English teachers

kiwi

When you are teaching the Japanese, have you ever wondered "Why?"
I taught Japanese at a university specializing in languages for over 20 years, mainly to English teachers. I hope that my career will be of service to you.

I have prepared a variety of advice on the differences between English and Japanese (Meanings, syntax, and ways of thinking)

 

I hope I can be of help to you to increase your knowledge of Japanese and to improve your teaching.
