About Me
Hello! My name is Miki Suga (須賀 美紀：すが みき). I was born and raised in Aichi, Japan. I am a professional Japanese language teacher and I have lived and taught Japanese in several places around the world for over 20 years.
I have been living near Eindhoven in the south of the Netherlands since October 2016, started to give Japanese lessons online and established Amieke Online Japanese Language School in June 2018.
In January 2019 I passed the Dutch language tests (A2) for the integration in the Netherlands. Now, while giving Japanese lessons, I am also brushing up on my English and Dutch. Over the years I have learned German, Russian and Bulgarian too, although I cannot speak them very well any more.
I would be very happy to share the joy of discovering and learning new languages and cultures with you!
