英語の庭

最終更新日：2024/10/9

英語で会話する機会がなかなか無い。周りの留学生は日本語が上手で、英語で話していてもいつの間にか日本語になっている。研究のことは英語で話せるけど、雑談が苦手。将来留学したい国からの留学生と知り合いたい。英会話力を維持したい。SELで学んだ表現を実際にどんどん使いたい。

空いた時間に、東大留学生会話パートナーと英語でおしゃべりしませんか？

2024Aセメ TA紹介

Daniel

Home: Canada

Language: English, Mandarin, Some Japanese

Interests: Cycling, Hiking, Scuba Diving, Travelling

Hello, my name is Daniel. I was born in China and moved to Canada in elementary school. Currently I am a first year masters student in the Department of Civil Engineering. When not studying, I love to travel around Japan. This summer I took a road trip in Kyushu! I rode a helicopter at Mount Aso and experienced the full force of typhoon 10 on Yakushima island. Last summer I completed a 600km cycling trip from Tokyo to Shizuoka. You can see me with my bicycle at a view point on Izu peninsula with Mt Fuji in the background in the photo.

Feel free to drop by for a fun chat with me. I would love to meet new friends, exchange cultures and talk about various topics.

Ariane

Home: Switzerland

Language: German, English, French, Japanese (little)

Interests: Trail Running, Road Cycling and Hiking

Hey there! My name is Ariane. I'm a 2nd year PhD student in the Department of Advanced Interdisciplinary Sciences focusing on Biophysics.

Whenever I need a break from hard-core science, I engage various sport activities. During the week, I love cycling and am leading a running club. On the weekends, I enjoy travelling outside of Tokyo and trail run in the nature of Saitama, Kanagawa and Yamanashi. My favourite spot so far was Shiroyama (Yugawara, Kanagawa).

Drop me a message to talk about nature, sports, fantasy books and movies, or cooking.

Julia

Home: China

Language: English, Japanese, Chinese

Interests: Martial Arts, MBTI analysis and K-pop

Hi! This is Julia from China. I'm currently a master's student in the Department of Engineering, studying Technology Management of Innovation. I spent four years in Canada for my bachelor's degree and decided to continue my studies at Tokyo University. I know that speaking is the hardest part of nearly every language, and I am experiencing this difficulty with my Japanese as well. Feel free to chat with me about anything; it's always a pleasure to learn with you!

Shuyi

Home: China

Language: Chinese, English, Japanese

Interests: City Walk, Eating, Watch Cooking Shows, Travelling

Hi! I'm Shuyi from China, and I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in Linguistics at the Department of Language and Information Sciences. Outside of academics, you'll often find me on city walks, trying out local cuisine, or watching cooking shows for inspiration in the kitchen. I love to travel and share experiences about the places I've visited. So, if you're interested in sharing your passions or just want to chat about food and travel, feel free to drop by! I look forward to meeting you all!

Sarah

Home: Indonesia

Language: Indonesian, English

Interests: travelling, music, watching movies, eating

Hi there! I'm Sarah from Indonesia. I came to Japan and my PhD in the Department of Mechanical Engineering this April. I used to play music back home and I absolutely love it! I also enjoy traveling, experiencing new cultures, and, of course, trying different foods.

By the way, I'm pretty outgoing and love chatting with others, so feel free to talk with me!

Tengis

Home: Mongolia

Language: Mongolian (native), English, Japanese, Chinese (little)

Interests: Volleyball, Jazz, Photography, watching movies and animes

Hi! My name is Tengis. I moved to Japan when I was 18 to pursue my studies and recently graduated with a degree in Chemical System Engineering from the University of Tokyo. I'm now a first-year Master's student. I'm passionate about teaching and love helping others improve, which led me to work as a high school physics teacher in Mongolia for a year.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring different genres of music and movies, which have been my greatest language teachers. I have a special love for jazz music. Recently, I was inspired by an Indian movie called 12th Fail, which motivated me to put my best effort into everything I do.

Feel free to reach out and talk about anything! I'm excited to meet you all.

Jess

Home: Singapore

Language: English, Chinese, French, Japanese

I'm a 3rd-year PhD student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, focusing on applying machine learning to enhance the thermal conductivity of cellulose nanomaterials. My goal is to develop sustainable technology inspired by the elegance of nature.

I have a deep appreciation for nature and find relaxation in spending time outdoors. Although I've studied French and Japanese for many years, I've often been too shy to practice speaking them. Now, I aim to create a welcoming environment where people feel comfortable practicing their English.

Feel free to reach out — I'd love to chat about anything under the sun!

Dildora

Language: Uzbek, Russian, English, Japanese(little)
