Haru Ichiban Spring winds

Today I would like to introduce "Haru Ichiban".

"Haru Ichiban" is the first warm, strong southerly wind that blows when the season changes from winter to spring. It is a reminder that spring has come.

It is announced by the Meteorological Office from their observations. In my hometown, the previous time this was announced was on 20 February last year.

Everyone let us look forward to the announcement of the "Haru Ichiban" wind this year!

I started teaching Japanese to technical intern trainees and internship students, and since 2019, online Japanese instructor at JOI.

My main focus is on Business Japanese and JLPT grammar (N1,N2.N3) in particular. I am also available for short-term private lessons to improve your business Japanese skills before joining a company, taking an assignment, or changing jobs on your requested schedule.

I worked for a major machine manufacturer for about 40 years. During that time, I was assigned to various departments such as factories, trading, R&D, sales, general affairs, accounting, and auditing. With these experiences, I believe I can provide you with practical assistance in various situations when you are doing business in Japanese.
