About Nanako

Hello! My name is Nanako. Thank you for visiting my profile!

 “I’d love to learn Japanese, but I don’t know where to start.”
 “I’m traveling to Japan and want to speak more than just ‘Arigatou’ and ‘Sumimasen’!”
 “I want to order sushi and a beer in Japanese!”
 “I want to learn natural Japanese that native speakers actually use.”
 “I want to enjoy anime and manga in Japanese!”

 If any of these sound like you, come join Nanako’s Japanese lessons!

I’ll create lessons around your goals, whether you’re interested in travel, Japanese culture, hobbies, or studying in Japan.

〈About Me〉
I’m from Fukuoka, Japan, and I currently work as a tour guide at a Japanese language school.

I guide international students from around 20 countries across Europe, North America, Australia, the Middle East and Asia, introducing them to Japanese culture, sightseeing spots and everyday life in Japan.

I often guide cultural experiences such as Japanese taiko drumming, samurai sword demonstrations, kimono and calligraphy. I love sharing the beauty of Japanese culture with people from around the world.

I also practice Japanese tea ceremony, so I enjoy talking about Japanese traditions, hospitality, seasonal events and manners.

People often tell me that I’m easy to talk to and a good listener. I genuinely enjoy hearing about people’s lives, experiences and cultures, so I’d love to hear your story too!

● Languages
I’m currently studying English, and I studied French at university.

I know from my own experience that learning a language can be challenging, but also incredibly rewarding. Being able to have a conversation with someone in their language or make a new friend is such a wonderful feeling!

●Studying Abroad & Traveling
I have studied abroad in Belgium, Canada and the Philippines.

I have also traveled to more than 10 countries and have enjoyed discovering different cultures, meeting people from around the world and seeing beautiful places.

Where would you like to visit someday?

● Japanese Anime, Drama & Movies
I love Demon Slayer!

If you have a favorite anime, drama or movie, please tell me about it. I’d love to discover something new from you too!

●My Previous Career
Before becoming a tour guide, I worked for a cosmetics company.

I have experience in beauty, makeup, fashion and kimono, and I enjoy talking about Japanese and Asian beauty and fashion.

In my previous job, I always focused on listening carefully to each customer and understanding their individual needs.

I hope to bring the same approach to my Japanese lessons and create a comfortable learning experience for each student.

● Let’s Get to Know Each Other!
I’d love to hear about you too!
Have you recently started something new?
Is there something you’d like to try or a dream you’d like to achieve?
Tell me about yourself during our lessons.
I’m looking forward to meeting you!
See you in a trial lesson.

〈About My Lessons〉
I offer personalised Japanese lessons based on your goals, interests and level.

●Start Japanese from Zero

Never studied Japanese before? No problem!

We can start from the very beginning with:

* Hiragana & Katakana
* Pronunciation
* Greetings
* Self-introductions
* Basic Japanese

We’ll take it step by step and build your confidence as you learn.

●Japanese for Your Trip

Want to do more than just say “Arigatou” and “Sumimasen”?

Let’s practise useful Japanese for real travel situations, such as:

* Ordering food and drinks
* Shopping
* Asking for directions
* Having simple conversations with local people

We can use role-plays to help you feel more confident using Japanese in Japan.

As a tour guide, I can also share travel tips and recommendations for Tokyo, Fukuoka and Kyushu, including local food, sightseeing spots, souvenirs and travel plans.

●Japanese Culture

Learn Japanese while discovering the culture behind the language.

We can explore topics such as:

* Tea ceremony
* Kimono
* Japanese manners
* Seasonal events
* Omotenashi (Japanese hospitality)

Perfect for anyone who loves Japanese culture or is planning to travel or study in Japan.

●Speak Japanese with Confidence

Let’s practise natural Japanese in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

You’ll have plenty of opportunities to speak, ask questions and make mistakes without pressure.

After each lesson, I’ll provide personalised review notes to help you remember what you learned.

Homework is also available if you’d like extra practice between lessons.

●Your Goals, Your Lesson

I create personalised lessons based on your goals, interests and level.

Whether you want to start with Hiragana, use a textbook, or focus on conversation, we can adjust the lessons to suit you.

I can also support your future goals, such as travelling, studying, working or living in Japan.

We’ll start with the basics and build your Japanese step by step. If you’d like to take the JLPT in the future, I’ll be happy to support you too!
