In this Japanese conversational lesson, given Kodomo no Hi was the next day, we spoke about koinobori and childrens day itself. We also spoke about my potential travel plans for Japan this year, discussing prefectures I might visit. Thanks to Mika 先生 for correcting my use of to, do, fu and ken when referring to said prefectures ! We also spoke about a video I'd recently watched about a Japanese bus that had two private rooms - definitely not something I've ever seen in my country ! A very topical, interesting and fun lesson ! Mika 先生、ありがとうございました。

ありがとうございました、みかせんせい！

I laughed so much my stomach hurts. Mika-sensei is a fantastic conversation partner.

In this Japanese conversational lesson, amongst other topics we spoke about the current weakness of the Japanese yen and how prices and exchange rates compare to last year. We then went on to speak about Golden Week in Japan, and we also had a discussion about the lengthening days as we approach the summer solstice. A varied and as always interesting lesson ! Mika 先生、ありがとうございました。

She's very well prepared and makes the lesson enjoyable! ありがとうございました、みかせんせい！😊

In this weeks Japanese conversational lesson we spoke about an upcoming festival in Japan. While I've never been to a matsuri, it's definitely something I'd like to experience on a future trip to Japan. We then spoke about learning Japanese and peoples motivations for doing so - whether for travel, work or other reasons. A very interesting discussion ! Mika 先生、ありがとうございました。
