I\u2019m In\u00eas \u2014 In\u00eas-sensei \u2014 and I\u2019m the teacher and founder behind Cursos de Japon\u00eas no Porto.\r\n\r\nMy journey with Japanese began in 1996, and what started as a fascination with the language gradually became a lifelong passion for Japan, its culture, and the many ways language can bring people closer together.\r\n\r\nSince 2003, I have been teaching Japanese in language schools, training centres, workshops, and cultural events. Over the years, I\u2019ve had the opportunity to share Japanese with students of many different ages and backgrounds, helping them not only learn the language but also understand the culture and everyday life behind it.\r\n\r\nMy connection with Japan also grew through two intensive periods of study there. In 2004, I spent four months in Tokyo living with a Japanese host family, while studying the language and experiencing traditional aspects of Japanese life\u2014from tea ceremony and kimono to festivals and playing the koto. These experiences continue to influence the way I teach today.\r\n\r\nI hold a degree in Translation and Interpreting and a postgraduate qualification in Specialised Translation, with a focus on Japanese and French, from the University of Porto. Alongside teaching, I have worked as a translator, including translating manga and works by renowned Japanese author Haruki Murakami.\r\n\r\nOver the years, I have also collaborated with Japanese cultural events, organised workshops, participated in Japanese speech contests, and shared my own photographs and experiences of Japan.\r\n\r\nFor me, learning Japanese is about much more than memorising vocabulary and grammar. It\u2019s about discovering another way of seeing the world. That\u2019s why my classes combine language learning with cultural insights, practical conversation, writing, and little details from everyday Japanese life.\r\n\r\nWhether you are discovering Japanese for the first time, preparing for the JLPT, interested in Japanese culture, or simply fascinated by Japan, I hope to make your journey both enjoyable and meaningful.\r\n\r\n\u3088\u304b\u3063\u305f\u3089\u3001\u4e00\u7dd2\u306b\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e\u3092\u52c9\u5f37\u3057\u307e\u3057\u3087\u3046\uff01\r\nYokattara, issho ni nihongo o benky\u014d shimash\u014d!\r\nIf you\u2019d like, let\u2019s learn Japanese together!","link":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/pt\/teacher\/aulasjaponesgmail-com\/","slug":"aulasjaponesgmail-com","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/unnamed-scaled.jpg","48":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/unnamed-scaled.jpg","96":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/unnamed-scaled.jpg"},"meta":[],"user_switching_url":null,"elementor_introduction":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2440","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
