Hi everyone,

I just joined eduFire yesterday. I am from Kyoto, Japan. I have been living in the U.S. since 2004 and I have been teaching Japanese in Colorado since 2007. I love to learn new languages and the cultures so I love to make people happy by teaching my language and the culture.

In addition, I am an artist and have been teaching art, especially Japanese traditional art, such as calligraphy, sumi-e and nihon-ga since 1988. If you are interested in Japanese art, we can talk about some of them in our lessons.

Thanks! Arigato!

Hello fumiyo, Welcome to edufire. I’ve just started studying Japanese here, so it’ll be great to learn it with you and talk about Japanese art and culture. Ahlan wa sahlan(in Arabic).
Hajimemashite. You’ll enjoy here in shaa Allah.

Hi Fumiyo!

Nice to meet you. Kyoto is a very beautiful city, I’ve been there several times. I lived in Japan for 5 years and I’m now back in Australia working at one of the local Universities. I’m tutoring Japanese here as well, so if you want some tutoring tips, please don’t hesitate to ask.

よろしくお願いします

Dang, sign me up for some nihon-ga! That sounds incredibly interesting!

書道は何段持っているんですか？

浮世絵と崩し字には興味があるのですが、それも勉強なさったのですか？

いつか草書体で書けるようになりたいですが….欧米人である僕には相当無理だと思われますｗ

現代社会では字が単なる伝達方法として用いられているが、昔は芸の一種でもありましたね….

崩し字書きたい…….

崩し字書ける人って知ってますか？

Welcome Fumiyo,you will find what you need here!!!!!

Welcome to eduFire Fumiyo :) You will love teaching here! Enjoy the orientation class :)

Caligraphy is so much fun! Such a shame i have no artistic talent what so ever :(

Welcome and enjoy your stay :)

Hey Fumiyo! Great to have more Japanese teachers on the team! I’m sure you’ll enjoy your time here at Edufire ^^
