Hello, my name is Mel and I teach beginner level Japanese to

0:04

teenagers and adults.

0:05

I've studied Japanese at my university for over three

0:09

years, and I've also spent some time in Japan

0:11

learning the language there from University as

0:14

well.

0:15

when I began Japanese

0:16

I actually learned the basics from

0:20

a native English speaker who also learned Japanese as

0:24

a second language later in life.

0:25

And from my experience

0:29

and watching other Learners in Japan.

0:32

I feel that this was actually very beneficial

0:36

and perhaps the best

0:38

way to go.

0:39

There are some things that native speakers May Overlook

0:43

or not really know how to explain.

0:45

So that's where Another Second Language learner can

0:49

come in and really answer some of the questions that

0:53

you have about some of the more finite details about the

0:56

language the some of the things that it's this

0:59

way in my language. What how does

1:01

how does that work in this language like this so weird,

1:04

that's so different.

1:05

And studying Japanese language and culture is my passion and

1:11

I want to share that with anyone else who might be interested in it, too.

1:13

Whenever I study Japanese in the past independently, I

1:19

noticed that especially the case with online lessons.

1:22

that

1:23

they had a tendency to be just

1:26

only lessons on random vocabulary and

1:31

what I like to call Travel phrases

1:33

there was no instruction on how to actually use the language.

1:37

As a tutor. I want to break down the Japanese language for

1:42

you.

1:42

And actually get you to understand the full

1:46

mechanics on the fundamentals of how the

1:49

language works.

1:50

I want you to actually be able to speak language to use

1:55

it read it write it.

1:57

And your everyday life to say anything that you want?

1:60

So if this is something that interests you I

2:05

do hope that you will join me for a lesson

2:07

so that we can work on building skills in

2:11

this beautiful language. I hope to meet

2:13

you soon.
