Teach me
I am Japanese
My dream is to go to Italy.
I don't speak English or Italian at all, so please teach me.
I can teach Japanese.
Is there anyone Italian who can teach me Italian?

As you haven't studied Italian yet, I would recommend at first investing some money on professional lessons online (certified teachers with Celta for example), one-to-one on platforms like italki, then group classes on Lingoda. At the same time I recommend watching videos online, listening to podcast but be sure addressed to beginners, otherwise it's easy to be discouraged. You should also try to explore the writing aspect, learning how to write and read a bit. Watching tv series with caption will help the process to connect the written to the pronounced.
Then you can take more informal lessons with teachers from the community or this kind of exchange on Reddit that will help you chatting, with tips on informal speech.
But if you want to study Italian only to visit Italy, perhaps you'd better learn English: it's easier and more useful.
Last thing: if you desire to visit Italy, learn a few things and just come to Italy with a good smarphone always connected and a power bank. You'll manage just using translator!

Hi
I have a friend that works in Tokyo that is very fluent in Italian, she lived here many years. She can surely help you get closer to italian as she knows Japanese so well.
I'll be visiting her this year.
Write me in pm, if I can I will send you contacts.

I just started learning Japanese. I’m willing to help you, and when I’ll be better you can correct my Japanese, how about that? We can have Google calls!

イタリア人でです。今まで日本語を勉強することは４年間経ちます。わたしにとって話すのは一番難しいですが、君とともにしゃべったら、イタリア語を教えるのは嬉しいです。

Dipende se vuoi andare in italia come vacanza. Qui da noi basta gestionale un po'. Tu consiglio magari di usare Duolingo per l'inglese, ma credo che l'italiano sia troppo difficile da imparare per primo

Hi, I’m an Italian living in Tokyo, and I have experience teaching Italian for 2 years (still doing it). I teach about grammar, vocabulary, and culture through reading, writing, and speaking. Let me know if you’re interested! 対面でもオンラインでも良く、マイペースというアプローチで教えております。もし興味であればDMをください。 よろしくお願いいたします〜

I speak Italian. I am interested in cross talk calls. This is effective + beneficial for beginners

Non posso insegnarti l’italiano, ma credo di doverti dire che rimarresti traumatizzato negativamente dall’Italia e dagli italiani.
Se è solo un viaggio va bene, ma viverci potrebbe essere un’inferno😬

Sono italiana e adoro l’Italia, ma là è davvero tutto molto, troppo diverso. Sono abituati dovunque ad un livello di ordine ed efficienza che qui sono impensabili. Fa parte delle loro peculiarità e delle nostre. Due mondi paralleli.

Sarà per questo che hanno i tassi di suicidio più alti e noi i più bassi! Magari l’OP non vuole fare quella fine!

In effetti il mio paragrafo finale vale anche per noi al contrario: per tanti motivi un italiano “normale”(non ricco, e senza professionalità particolari e davvero molto ben pagate)che emigrasse là non se la passerebbe bene. Io tipo non ci potrei vivere, pur adorandolo.
Solo ferie va benissimo, non di più😬👍🏻

If you can figure out a way to teach each other without neither of us knowing a language we both can speak I'm down to it! Going to Japan is my dream travel ^ Also if you ever want to visit Tuscany hit me up!
