Offering: Mandarin Chinese (native), Japanese (advanced/N1), STEM help | Seeking: English conversation
Edit: Thanks for the messages! I’ve found around four people to start trying language exchange with, so I’d like to pause accepting new partners for now. I’m not sure yet whether the schedule will work out long-term, so I may update this post later.
Edit: Since I can’t edit the title, I’d like to clarify that I’m looking for both English conversation practice and Japanese explanation practice.
Hi! I’m a university student currently studying in Tokyo.
I’m looking for language exchange partners for two main goals:
- English: I want to practice natural, everyday English conversation. My TOEFL score is 100, so I can read and write academic English reasonably well, but I’m still not very comfortable with casual speaking, small talk, and “thinking in English” during real-time conversations.
- Japanese: I also want to practice explaining academic or science-related topics naturally in Japanese. I passed JLPT N1 with 140, currently study in Japan, and can use Japanese comfortably in daily communication. However, I still want to sound smoother and more precise when explaining math, science, or abstract ideas in Japanese.
In return, I can offer:
- Mandarin Chinese at a native level
- Japanese help for learners, especially grammar, reading, writing, and conversation
- English help, especially reading and writing
- Math/science help at high-school level or below
- Help with Classical Chinese / kanbun
- Discussion about Japanese classical literature, if you are interested
One thing I especially want to practice is explaining academic or science problems in English and Japanese. I can solve many problems on paper, but I still find it difficult to explain them naturally in spoken language. So we could do normal conversation, language correction, or even work through math/science/language problems together.
This is completely free. I’m hoping for an online language exchange, maybe once or twice a week, depending on our schedules. Voice call is preferred, but text chat first is also fine.
Please DM me if you’re interested!
日本語でも大丈夫です。
現在、東京の大学に通っている学生です。英語では、日常会話やスモールトークをもっと自然にできるようになりたいです。また、日本語では、数学・理科・語学などの内容をより自然に説明する練習をしたいと思っています。
中国語は母語レベルで、英語の読解・作文、日本語学習、高校以下の数学・理科、漢文などなら手伝えます。授業というより、お互いに練習するオンラインの言語交換を考えています。
