I graduated from Russian Department of Chinese Culture University. I specialize in Russian grammar, especially syntax. I also developed my own material for basic Japanese, with the explanation of historical phonetics, there is no necessity to memorize mechanically. I highly emphasize Russian phonetics, because it is very different from other languages in the world. Grammar and conversational practice are well combined together. We start from the history of Japanese, by knowing the theories of Hiragana, there would be no necessity to memorize them. The basic grammar will be introduced at the same time, therefore, you can speak easy dialog even before finishing all the Hiragana. Learning a new language is definitely not easy, so don't feel guilty if you forget something we already talk about. I'm ready to help you overcome every difficulty you may encounter. Ask me anytime when you have a question. I hope you enjoy learning and see you soon!
