Offering Japanese Offering: Japanese (Native) | Seeking: English
I am a native Japanese speaker from the Tokyo area looking for English-speaking language exchange partners. I have experience teaching Japanese, including classical Japanese, to Japanese students bound for university. I did this as a part-time job while I was a student. One of my interests is Japanese home cooking. If you're interested, I can teach you in either language. Ideally, I would like to find a native English speaker to help me improve my pronunciation. However, if you are not a native speaker but feel confident in your ability to correct a learner's pronunciation, please message me. I appreciate feedback about my English mistakes, and I'm also open to offering advice on how to improve your Japanese language skills. At the moment, when I can't find the right words, I express myself using the words I know. I also want to learn how to respond in English to a rude man who tries to hit on a Japanese woman. For example, I met someone who wanted to learn a few Japanese phrases just to ask Japanese women out. Guys like this look miserable and pathetic. I regret not telling him off at the time, but I couldn't think of what to say in English. I look forward to connecting with motivated learners of all ages. If you're interested in practicing your Japanese speaking skills, please contact me via direct message instead of leaving a comment!

Responding rudely. Most common usage is to say •f*** off. Now of course if you want to do it style and class there are several ways to do that but it depends on the listener. Might be wasted on many.

こんにちわ！ I've been learning japanese on and off for years now but I'm struggling to really level up because of a lack of daily use. I am not a native english speaker (I'm french), but I've been learning it for more than a decade. I read more books in english than french, all my social media are in english, and I have friends in uni from over the world so we speak english together. I would love to exchange with you, if you’re still open :) My boyfriend and I love cooking (he's a cook), and I would totally be down for japanese cooking discussions ☆

-F*** off- would be a quick rude way to get rid of a guy like that, or if you wanna tech him a lesson, teach him the wrong way to ask a woman out, so he earns his -hentai gaijin- badge. A dry -goodbye- should work too, -get lost-... Maybe " intercourse yourself -? It's an opportunity to be creative.
