Japanese lesson by a native Japanese speaker in Amsterdam
Hi, Japanese learners in and around Amsterdam!
My name is Miki, and I’m a 29-year-old Japanese woman living in Amsterdam. I was born in Tokyo and soon after moved to the US, growing up in cities like Boston, Chicago, Singapore, Austin, and Tokyo. This diverse background has given me a unique perspective on language and culture, which I bring into my teaching.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Law and Politics from Keio University in Tokyo. During my university days, I developed a genuine interest in traveling the world and backpacked through South America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. If you’re also a traveler, we can share a lot about our experiences during lessons, making learning Japanese even more engaging and fun.
Professionally, I’ve pursued a career in banking, advertising, and a food-tech start-up. Now in Amsterdam, I work as a Wagashi (Japanese confectionery) professional, striving to spread the beauty of this traditional art. Additionally, I have experience working as an interpreter, which has honed my language skills further.
I look forward to helping you on your journey to learn Japanese, sharing not just the language but also insights from my diverse life experiences. Let's make learning Japanese an exciting adventure!

Let's learn Japanese with a native through a casual talk-------About me
Name: Ayaka
Origin: Osaka
Japanese: Standard Japanese, Kansai dialect
Jobs: Flight Attendant (past), Yoga Instructor (active)
Hobbies: Traveling, Yoga, Photography, Walking and hiking, Cooking, Skiing, Animal lover
----------About the Lesson---------------------
The main focus will be on "Speaking."
Q. Why is speaking the main focus?
A. We want you to experience the joy of speaking Japanese through free talk. Just learning words from manga is not easy to understand what natives say in daily life. I will assist you in learning vocabulary and acquiring natural expressions by speaking with native Japanese speakers.
-----A message to the students at the end-----
I love cultural exchange and have a friendly personality. Having traveled to various countries and learning German, I understand the challenges and joys of learning a new language firsthand. This makes me happy to be able to help you learn Japanese. I look forward to the day when we can have enjoyable conversations together.

Strategy Meeting - Check your "actual" Japanese levelWould you like to know what level your Japanese actually is? Would you like to know which part of your Japanese is in need of extra work? I will stay brutally honest to support you for upgrading Japanese efficiently. Like "no pain, no gain", weak points could be the sweet spot because it has the space to grow once you know what to do and how to work on.
My schedule could be flexible so please feel free to contact me!

- Improvement to prepare JLPT 1-5 exams

We can work writing and speaking, with a method (Japan Foundation) or any other desired medium.
