In my spare time, I enjoy...

...in 2012, I moved to Japan to further study Japanese and teach English to children and adults for three years. I love getting students excited about Japan and helping them untangle the challenging Japanese language. Students and I tend to have a lot of fun practicing pronunciation and studying kanji together.

Learning a language can be daunting, but it can also be surprisingly humorous. Using amusing mnemonics, observing and commenting on cultural differences, or watching comedies in your target language are great ways of having fun while learning. Laughing helps reduce stress and makes for a smoother learning process.
