Who you are teaching
Meet Renzo
Renzo works in hospitality and is studying Japanese to welcome more travelers and eventually visit Osaka. He remembers set phrases quickly, but fast speech blurs together and he sometimes transfers English word order directly into Japanese. Short listening chunks, role-play, and immediate reuse help him turn recognition into conversation.
Personality: Outgoing, quick to laugh, respectful, and willing to imitate a new rhythm. Renzo prefers useful conversation over long grammar lectures.
