    Teaching Approach


    Once way to look at the method is this: I will teach you how to recognize those essential building blocks with which you will eventually build long and fluent sentences. Both in spoken and written form.




    I am a linguist, translator, syllabus coordinator and language teacher.

    A ll students are catered according to their individual needs.

    Cou rses present notes, recordings, videos mainly created by myself and from various external sources (books, literature, manga, anime, etc.).









    ----------- -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- -------

    The following is a note for learners who are interested in becoming fluent in JAPANESE in a short time.

    As you can see from my profile, Japanese is not one of my native languages despite the fact that I teach it, something which I have been doing for more than a decade now.

    If you are a student whose native language is Maltese, English or Italian, you might appreciate more a teacher who has been through your same process and through your same problems and one who can communicate with you clearly and fluently in your own native language.

    So please don't hesitate to contact me if you really want to learn Japanese in a completely different approach and with lots of fun.

    Keep in mind that native speakers don't learn Japanese as you will have to do, for the average learner is not a child anymore and thus he or she hasn't got the same neurological conditions that Japanese children have when they start learning their own language which they use everyday. Moreover, one doesn't even have the same amount of time (15~20 years) it takes Japanese people to learn and memorize kanji characters (when using the Japanese way of learning them).

    It is knowing how to speak the language fluently that makes you become part of the community. If you need to learn Japanese, you are not Japanese. For all of these reasons, you need a completely different method, made especially for foreigners by a foreigner who can now make you turn Japanese at will.

    I am sincerely looking forward to teaching you Japanese.

    In the last few years I have been developing a new system to teach Japanese Jōyō Kanji and their readings to foreigners. Students of Japanese surely understand the difficulty in reading and understanding these characters and the Japanese writing system is indeed the most difficult modern writing system. Join my class and kanji will become so much fun.

    It is a promise!

    Frequently Asked Questions


    Anyone can learn any language.

    A learner needs time to practice and a good teacher.

    I f you have time to learn a new language passionately, now you have all you need to learn it because you found the right teacher for you.

    I am ready to give daily or weekly lessons. Any day.
    The student and the teacher will decide on the right time together.

    The student pays for the lesson before it is given.
    If the student pays for 10 lessons beforehand, the student will be given ten lessons. It's a simple policy.

    I am aware that my prices are not the cheapest. I believe that the quality of my lessons deserve such amounts, although I am still striving for perfection and continuous perfecting of my art.

    ----- -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- -

    Below is the policy regarding weak internet connections.
    Internet connection between Malta/Tokyo/B eijing/London/ New York (from where I teach) and other countries is not always stable, so if calling the student will be impossible due to the circumstances , the weather or the internet connection, I will communicate the lesson using Skype Instant Chat.

    Although this rarely happens, it’s very possible especially with certain countries at certain times of the day. Whatever happens, the student will have the lesson I intended to give him/her even if it takes more than the hour (which is the time I normally need for a single language lesson) planned. The student will not be charged for this extra time, of course.

    -- -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- ----

    I do not provide translation services anymore. There are much cheaper options around - please use them.

    Char ges for the decipherment of texts in Ancient Egyptian, Mayan, Ancient Chinese, Manyôgana and Ogham are based on an estimate of difficulty and time consumption made prior to acceptance.
