― From "Being Understood" to "Natural Japanese You Can Speak with Confidence" ―

Move past that slight awkwardness, even when your grammar is spot-on!

Hello! I am Yumi, a Japanese language instructor.

I currently specialize in teaching Japanese to Korean learners. I am also an active language learner myself, studying Korean ever since I fell in love with Korean dramas! Over the past two years, I have conducted more than 3,800 lessons and met wonderful students. I am very much looking forward to meeting many more students here on Cafetalk!

・Location: Chiba Prefecture, Japan

・Favorite Food: Sushi (I often go to Hamasushi☆)

・Hobbies: Knitting, reading, cooking

【Experience & Strengths】

For the past two years, I have taught online Japanese lessons specifically tailored for Korean learners. In conversation sessions, I listen closely to each student's voice, providing detailed feedback on pitch accent, natural intonation, and grammatical accuracy—which has received wonderful feedback from my learners.

"People understand my Japanese, but I want to speak with smoother, more authentic pronunciation."

"I want to master clean intonation that sounds effortless and completely natural to native speakers."

If this resonates with you, I am here to help you take that next step.

【Lesson Style: Audio Correction & Feedback】

"In live conversation lessons, subtle pronunciation slips and pitch errors often get brushed aside just to keep the flow going..."

This lesson solves that problem! You can improve at your own pace whenever you have a spare moment.

◆ Lesson Flow

1. Send an audio recording of yourself reading a specified Japanese text (or an excerpt you want to practice).

2. I listen carefully and prepare a thorough review.

3. I send back detailed correction points along with my own native reference audio.

◆ Recommended For:

・Those with busy schedules who cannot commit to fixed lesson hours

→ Simply record and send your audio whenever it suits you.

・Those who want to check if their pitch accent or intonation sounds unnatural

→ I catch the subtle habits and quirks that usually get skipped in fast-paced conversation.

・Those who feel nervous in live, face-to-face lessons

→ You can practice and record in the comfort of your own space without any pressure.

・Those who feel shy about listening to their own recordings

→ Many learners find it uncomfortable to listen to their own voice after live lessons. With this format, you can focus on my native audio guide and practice shadowing comfortably at your own rhythm.

I look forward to working with you!
