From “Japanese that is understandable” to “Japanese that makes a good impression.”
Natural and approachable Japanese lessons taught by a newscaster.
Let’s improve your skills while having fun conversing♪
Hello, everyone! I’m KAORI.
I am:
◆ A working newscaster (this is my 16th year)
◇ Winner of the National Grand Prize at an affiliate station’s broadcasting contest
◆ Graduate of Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, majoring in Japanese language (studied Japanese language education, phonetics, etc.)
◇ Japanese Language Test (JLT), Pre-1st Grade
◆ J.S.A. SAKE DIPLOMA (Professional certification in sake and shōchū)
I’m a newscaster who loves the Japanese language and sake.
In addition to my usual work as a newscaster, reporter, narrator, and event announcer,
I also conduct public speaking and communication training for Japanese speakers.
What I always strive for is
“Correct, natural, and impressive speech skills”♪
Have you ever found yourself thinking the following while studying Japanese?:
“My grammar is correct, but people say I sound a little unnatural.”
“I’m not confident in my pronunciation or intonation.”
“I want to make a better impression at work or during job interviews.”
…or something similar to these?
Actually, Japanese sometimes doesn’t sound natural if you stick strictly to textbook-like expressions.
✓ Pronunciation
✓ Intonation
✓ Pausing
✓ Adapting your speech to the listener (use of honorifics, level of familiarity)
Such factors can greatly change the impression you make.
Why not learn “real-life Japanese” in my lessons? (^o^)/
I don’t use phrases like “native speakers don’t say it this way.”
“How can I sound more natural?”
“How can I make a better impression?”
I’ll provide careful guidance so you can put these tips into practice right away in your daily life.
My lesson contents are tailored to each individual learner.
I offer a variety of original lessons.
For instance…
✓ Pronunciation practice using scripts packed with common business phrases
✓ Reading practice using news scripts
✓ Live broadcast-style reporting
✓ Casual conversation about recent events or your favorite things
✓ Realistic interpretation practice
✓ Practice ordering at a café
I strive to create lessons that are both fun and effective for improving your skills.
If there’s anything you’d like to try, please feel free to let me know.
【I welcome anyone like this!】
✓ Learners who want to speak natural, practical Japanese
✓ Learners who want to improve their pronunciation and intonation
✓ Learners who want to learn proper honorifics
✓ Learners who want to develop a speaking style that makes a good impression
✓ Learners who want to practice conversation in a relaxed setting
✓ Learners who want detailed feedback
【To anyone feeling anxious】
In my lessons, I prioritize creating a learning atmosphere where you can speak freely and comfortably.
Since I often speak with people during work daily as a newscaster, the conversation will never stall.
Please rest assured.
Above all, I just love to talk! ☆
Of course, it’s okay to make mistakes! Just speak freely and as much as you like.
Let’s have a relaxed, joyous conversation while gradually mastering natural Japanese skills together.
―――――――――――――――――――
As a side note, I absolutely love hot springs and alcohol!
I drink a lot. lol
I love alcohol so much that I even got certifications in sake and shōchū.
I also love zombie movies and shark movies, so please let me know what you like as well♪
I look forward to meeting all of you!
