I used to find it hard to understand difference between toshite and nitotte. These examples may clarify sensei [nitotte]... = for the teacher (he was weird) sensei [toshite]... = as a teacher (I came to japan)

toshite is usually used to explain a role. not "as me" but as something - a teacher, a policeman.

does anyone know aything about としての ?
Tori
Welcome, Tori. I added some examples. FYI the link above "Search big database..." will find example sentences you can then cut and paste in.
dc
also from #5880 onward are examples of としての .. the の usually seems to be used when preceding a noun. (kind of like a reverse noun clause?)

Thank you so much for that info
Tori
I have an important question.
What's the meaning of the usage of 〜を〜として?
チンさんを先生として、中国語の勉強会を開いた。
I don't understand the meaning of を. In this case, として should be translated as "as"?
When and how I use the pattern 〜を〜として or 〜を〜とする or 〜を〜とした?

King [として] and [とする] are diffrent grammar points

李さん is the same thing as Mister Lee? I just knew this kanji as Sumomo...
