This event will be conducted in Japanese only.

Hi!
I'm Lisa. (My detailed profile is below)
I'm a Japanese language teacher who doesn't teach Japanese.
For convenience, I call myself a “Japanese language teacher,” but I work as a private tutor for foreigners.
I teach foreigners about politics, economics, history, and other subjects in Japanese.

【Purpose】
The purpose of this event is to build a community for Japanese language learners. We will study Japanese using materials related to Japan, not just the JLPT or grammar, to further deepen your Japanese language skills. By having common topics with Japanese people, it becomes easier to make Japanese friends. You can also make study partners and exchange information about study methods. Having study partners for Japanese increases motivation.

【Details】
When I was in junior high and high school, I'd do my homework at Starbucks or McDonald's after school, chatting with friends. We helped each other study, teaching and learning from one another. At this event, we'll do the same—not just learning, but also teaching each other, helping participants study together.
Please bring something you want to study, or something you want to teach or share with other participants. It can be anything: textbooks, books, magazines, online articles, questions about Japan—anything goes.

For reference, here are some topics we've studied or discussed in the past:
● Nihongo So-matome
● Haruki Murakami's novels
● Is reselling wrong?
● ZeniTenDo
● Japanese language school homework
● Akira Kurosawa's films
● Recommended Japanese learning videos on YouTube
● Mail-order catalogs
● Department store basement food halls
● McDonald's
● JLPT practice tests
● The appeal of Studio Ghibli
● The necessity of the yakuza
● Why Japan has so many characters
● Why Japanese middle-aged men like idols
● Methods for studying kanji
● How to buy a house in Japan
I'll also bring topics or things I want to share with participants each time.
Please bring things you like or want to study too.

Let's study Japanese in a relaxed and easygoing way!

【外国人のための家庭教師とは？】
私は日本語のノンネイティブスピーカー相手の家庭教師をしています。
日本語を使って何かを勉強したい人が私の生徒さんです。
例えば、「自分の国の歴史や経済、政治、社会などを日本語で説明できるようになりたい」「日本人から見た日本を知りたい」「日本語で日本の歴史や経済などを学びたい」など、日本語でなく、日本語で色々なことを学びたい外国人がたくさんいることがわかりました。上記の要望に応えるため、この仕事を始めました。
私の生徒さんたちは自分が何を学びたいのか理解しているので、皆さん自分で教材を用意します。
私の役割は「教える」というより「支援する」と言った方が適切です。

現在は以下のような指導をしています。
●自国の歴史や経済、政治などの日本語解説と指導
●日本文学や日本語で書かれた本を読む
●日本の会社紹介
●日本経済、歴史、政治、ビジネスなど社会的な会話
●日本のニュース解説
●裁判傍聴
●工場見学
●史跡や美術館、博物館での課外授業
●資格試験対策
●日本のアニメや漫画、J-POPの解説
●日本語で行うプレゼンの練習
●日本の家庭料理レッスン
●発音指導
●JLPT対策
他にもいろいろ指導していますが、生徒さんオリジナルレッスンのため正確に書くことはできません。現在40人以上の生徒さんを抱えています。一人たりとも同じレッスンをしている人はいません。もちろん教材も全員違います。私自身も学ぶことがたくさんあるので、とても素晴らしい仕事だと思っています。

Hi!
I'm Lisa. (My detailed profile is below)
I'm a Japanese language teacher who doesn't teach Japanese, originally from Tokyo.
For convenience, I call myself a “Japanese language teacher,” but I work as a private tutor for foreigners.
I teach foreigners about politics, economics, history, and other subjects in Japanese.

【Purpose】
This event is for people who enjoy studying. However, this is not about studying for exams. Rather than studying Japanese language or JLPT, this event was planned in response to participants' requests to study history, economics, politics, and other subjects in Japanese. The purpose of this study is to enrich one's life through learning. Let's share our knowledge, experiences, and insights with one another and grow together.

【Details】
This event is modeled after the coffee houses that were popular in England in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Participants bring books, magazines, News, newspaper and their own study notes to share with other participants as the event progresses.
The topics range from business to politics, law, science, and literature.
Even people who are meeting for the first time engage in lively conversation and discussion.

For reference, we have studied and discussed the following topics so far.
●AI
●Shinsengumi
●Renewable energy
●McDonald's
●The end of the Edo period
●Yukichi Fukuzawa
●Unification Church (Moonies)
●Semiconductors
●Violent murders
●Liberal Democratic Party
●Black-and-white movies
●Electric vehicles
●World War II
●Age of Discovery
●Anpo protests
●Industrial Revolution
●Japan Self-Defense Forces
We also discuss topics generally considered taboo, such as religion and politics.

The more you learn, the more you realize how much you don't know.
Let's enjoy this insatiable thirst for knowledge!

【What is a Tutor for Foreigners?】
I tutor non-native speakers of Japanese.
My students are people who want to learn something using Japanese.
For example, I've found many foreigners who want to learn various subjects in Japanese—not Japanese itself—such as: “I want to be able to explain my country's history, economy, politics, and society in Japanese,” “I want to understand Japan as seen by Japanese people,” or “I want to study Japanese history and economics in Japanese.” I started this work to meet these needs.
My students understand what they want to learn, so they prepare their own materials.
My role is more about “supporting” than “teaching.”

Currently, I provide guidance in the following areas:
● Japanese explanations and instruction on students' own countries' history, economy, politics, etc.
● Reading Japanese literature and books written in Japanese
● Introducing Japanese companies
● Conversations about Japanese society: economy, history, politics, business, etc.
● Explaining Japanese news
● Courtroom observation
● Factory tours
● Field trips to historical sites, art museums, and museums
● Preparing for qualification exams
● Explaining Japanese anime, manga, and J-POP
● Practicing presentations in Japanese
● Japanese home cooking lessons
● Pronunciation guidance
● JLPT preparation
I also teach various other subjects, but since these are customized lessons for each student, I cannot list them precisely. I currently have over 40 students. Not a single one has the same lesson plan. Naturally, the materials differ for everyone. I find this work truly wonderful because I myself learn so much from it.

【外国人のための家庭教師とは？】
私は日本語のノンネイティブスピーカー相手の家庭教師をしています。
日本語を使って何かを勉強したい人が私の生徒さんです。
例えば、「自分の国の歴史や経済、政治、社会などを日本語で説明できるようになりたい」「日本人から見た日本を知りたい」「日本語で日本の歴史や経済などを学びたい」など、日本語でなく、日本語で色々なことを学びたい外国人がたくさんいることがわかりました。上記の要望に応えるため、この仕事を始めました。
私の生徒さんたちは自分が何を学びたいのか理解しているので、皆さん自分で教材を用意します。
私の役割は「教える」というより「支援する」と言った方が適切です。

現在は以下のような指導をしています。
●自国の歴史や経済、政治などの日本語解説と指導
●日本文学や日本語で書かれた本を読む
●日本の会社紹介
●日本経済、歴史、政治、ビジネスなど社会的な会話
●日本のニュース解説
●裁判傍聴
●工場見学
●史跡や美術館、博物館での課外授業
●資格試験対策
●日本のアニメや漫画、J-POPの解説
●日本語で行うプレゼンの練習
●日本の家庭料理レッスン
●発音指導
●JLPT対策
他にもいろいろ指導していますが、生徒さんオリジナルレッスンのため正確に書くことはできません。現在40人以上の生徒さんを抱えています。一人たりとも同じレッスンをしている人はいません。もちろん教材も全員違います。私自身も学ぶことがたくさんあるので、とても素晴らしい仕事だと思っています。

This event will be conducted in Japanese only.

Hi!
I'm Lisa. (My detailed profile is below)
I'm a Japanese language teacher who doesn't teach Japanese, originally from Tokyo.
For convenience, I call myself a “Japanese language teacher,” but I work as a private tutor for foreigners.
I teach foreigners about politics, economics, history, and other subjects in Japanese.

【Purpose】
This event is for people who enjoy studying. However, this is not about studying for exams. Rather than studying Japanese language or JLPT, this event was planned in response to participants' requests to study history, economics, politics, and other subjects in Japanese. The purpose of this study is to enrich one's life through learning. Let's share our knowledge, experiences, and insights with one another and grow together.

【Details】
This event is modeled after the coffee houses that were popular in England in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Participants bring books, magazines, News, newspaper and their own study notes to share with other participants as the event progresses.
The topics range from business to politics, law, science, and literature.
Even people who are meeting for the first time engage in lively conversation and discussion.

For reference, we have studied and discussed the following topics so far.
●AI
●Shinsengumi
●Renewable energy
●McDonald's
●The end of the Edo period
●Yukichi Fukuzawa
●Unification Church (Moonies)
●Semiconductors
●Violent murders
●Liberal Democratic Party
●Black-and-white movies
●Electric vehicles
●World War II
●Age of Discovery
●Anpo protests
●Industrial Revolution
●Japan Self-Defense Forces
We also discuss topics generally considered taboo, such as religion and politics.

The more you learn, the more you realize how much you don't know.
Let's enjoy this insatiable thirst for knowledge!

【What is a Tutor for Foreigners?】
I tutor non-native speakers of Japanese.
My students are people who want to learn something using Japanese.
For example, I've found many foreigners who want to learn various subjects in Japanese—not Japanese itself—such as: “I want to be able to explain my country's history, economy, politics, and society in Japanese,” “I want to understand Japan as seen by Japanese people,” or “I want to study Japanese history and economics in Japanese.” I started this work to meet these needs.
My students understand what they want to learn, so they prepare their own materials.
My role is more about “supporting” than “teaching.”

Currently, I provide guidance in the following areas:
● Japanese explanations and instruction on students' own countries' history, economy, politics, etc.
● Reading Japanese literature and books written in Japanese
● Introducing Japanese companies
● Conversations about Japanese society: economy, history, politics, business, etc.
● Explaining Japanese news
● Courtroom observation
● Factory tours
● Field trips to historical sites, art museums, and museums
● Preparing for qualification exams
● Explaining Japanese anime, manga, and J-POP
● Practicing presentations in Japanese
● Japanese home cooking lessons
● Pronunciation guidance
● JLPT preparation
I also teach various other subjects, but since these are customized lessons for each student, I cannot list them precisely. I currently have over 40 students. Not a single one has the same lesson plan. Naturally, the materials differ for everyone. I find this work truly wonderful because I myself learn so much from it.
