やっほ~🤗Friendly & Certified teacher with over 8 years experience. Let’s have fun practicing Japanese! Hello, my name is Sumire. I was born and raised in Kanazawa and I'm now living in Canada. I have many hobbies, such as traveling, cooking, and watching movies. Of course, I love music very much! My bathroom is also my Karaoke room! Reading books is also one of my favorite pastimes! Lately, I’m interested in the relationship between education and the development of personality, so I started reading books about it. My knowledge of these education systems and their methods influences my teaching style and lessons. I’m currently working as a certified Japanese language teacher. Recently, I've started working as an assistant language teacher at the University of Calgary. とても楽しいです! During my fourth year of college I obtained a certification to teach Japanese professionally and after graduating, I started working in a Japanese language school in Tokyo, where I taught classes of foreign students and did private lessons for about five years. One of the reasons why I love teaching Japanese is that I can discover the intriguing and fascinating particularities of Japanese words and expressions together with interesting people from all over the world, while learning about their cultures and ways of thinking. I want to continue teaching in the future because I love how I and my students can motivate and encourage each other to keep learning and be curious while having fun. ☆A five minute break may be included at the end of the 60-minute lesson. ☆Cancellation Policy: ・If the lesson is ...

今日、すみれ先生が前回のフィードバックを直してくれるとき、役に立つ指摘をもらいました。「是非」を使ったことがありますか。私は色々な場合に「是非」を使ってみたことがあります。でも、使い方が間違ったのを気にしませんでした。「是非」を使うと、動詞の辞書形を使えません。例えば、「是非、フランスへ旅行に行きます」と言えません。正解な使い方は希望や依頼など言葉を使います。それで、以前の例は「是非、フランスへ旅行に行きたいです」、もしくは「是非、フランスへ旅行に行ってください。」と言った方がいいです。今から、「是非」が正しく使えます。良いアドバイスをもらった後で、「得る/得ない」文法を引き続き学びました。可能性があることを述べたい時、この文法が使えます。しかし、能力についてことが言えません。例えば、「私は泳ぎ得る」と言うと、可笑しいです。使い方は「ます」を外す辞書形の動詞の後ろに「得る/得ない」をつけます。例えば、「たくさん座る仕事すると、腰痛になり得ます!」。是非、この文法を使いたいです。今日、面白い授業で、ありがとうございました。

GREAT lesson. I feel like I learned so much about how to use different vocabulary words and grammar points. Sumire gives very memorable examples of how to use different points and she explains things very well in Japanese that I can understand. Thank you!!
