Hola! Me llamo Paula y doy clases de japonés hace unos 10 años. Soy hablante nativa tanto de castellano como de japonés, en el que tengo la certificación N1. Personalmente me interesa mucho el cine, las series, la música, los cuentos y la cultura (tanto que estudié diseño de imagen y sonido en la UBA) y trato de incorporarlo todo lo posible en las clases que doy. Entiendo que no existe idioma sin cultura, y que es necesaria una comprensión de esta para poder entender las sutilezas del lenguaje para tener una buena comunicación. Trabajo con alumnos de todas las edades y niveles. No dude en escribirme

I propose an approach to German oriented towards grammar and vocabulary, which often pose the most difficulties, and spoken language. This course aims to approach the technical aspects of the language without being too didactic. For the course, I combine the theoretical aspect of the language, necessary for correct speaking, with the practical aspect, which makes it possible to be understood and to interact effectively with native speakers, while taking a step back from each one. both. I offer an approach to Japanese based on grammar, vocabulary and spelling (kanjis). Starting from the experience of a speaker of Indo-European language, the course aims for the student to soak up the structure of the Japanese language in a natural way by getting rid of any unconscious a prioris coming from his own language. Also, in this course I put the emphasis on the written-oral relationship, which can strike in the case of the Japanese language, so as not to leave them separated.

. Full teaching of the Japanese language with all the specificities it involves (pronunciation, writing system, grammar, rules of the kanjis, etc...) . The class is divided in 3 parts: detailed lesson on one rule of the language, illustration with concrete examples, practical application through speaking and writing exercises with the student. . I am very exhaustive and go into details in my explanations, in order to tackle every aspect of the language and its rules, and ensure the student gains a full comprehension of it. I also make it a point in offering an entertaining and dynamic teaching, filling my lessons with cultural and linguistic informations and anecdotes here and there. . The classes are aimed at beginners taking their first steps in the Japanese language and at false beginners aspiring to more confidence and fluency when practicing it.
