Dans ce nouvel épisode, nous accueillons Ayuka, une enseignante professionnelle de japonais, pour un format un peu différent : nous commencerons par assister à un court aperçu de l'un de ses cours, puis nous discuterons plus en profondeur de son expérience avec les apprenants francophones.D'abord, place à la démonstration : Ayuka nous montrera brièvement comment elle introduit une leçon, que ce soit sur les bases de l'écriture (hiragana, katakana, quelques kanji), la prononciation, ou un point de grammaire spécifique. C'est l'occasion de découvrir en direct comment se déroule un cours de japonais avec une méthode adaptée aux francophones.Ensuite, Mathieu et Nico l'interrogeront sur les profils des apprenants en France : quelles sont leurs principales motivations ? Quels sont les défis qu'ils rencontrent le plus souvent (mémorisation de kanji, utilisation du keigo, etc.) ? Comment gère-t-elle les différences culturelles entre la France et le Japon dans son enseignement ?Ayuka partagera aussi ses conseils pour progresser efficacement, que l'on soit débutant ou que l'on souhaite perfectionner son japonais : ressources en ligne, astuces de mémorisation, bonnes pratiques pour améliorer sa compréhension orale et sa prononciation.Un épisode captivant pour tous ceux qui s'intéressent à l'enseignement du japonais, à la fois riche en conseils pratiques et en témoignages sur la réalité des apprenants en France.Renseignements pour des cours de japonais avec Ayuka : lepetitedo@gmail.comGénérique : « tiger & dragon » Crazy Ken Band.Sortie le 8 mars 2025#日本語 #日本 #教師 #教える #会話 #漢字 #授業 #japonais #professeur #apprendre #japon
