New everyday life topics in this lesson - short conversation about drinking and hangover, buying a house - 楽しかった！:D In the textbook we practice expressing opinions, which is probably about the most useful thing we need to learn. :) Practicing talking about simple topics helps to prevent me from freezing every three seconds when I'm trying to say something. I can really feel that lately I've improved so much so that we can have an actual easy conversation with Maki-san. :)　

Wow, today we had a great conversation practice in the beginning - my comprehensive input practice is finally paying off :D Then we started on casual speech in affirmative and negative. Had time to do a lot of practice sentences. :) Let's continue next week. Thank you so much Maki-san :)

My intro lesson with Makiko-sensei was great! Very relaxed and fun, she was really kind and I had a great time, asked me lots of questions and also did casual conversation. Absolutely reommend!

Today we did a lot of speaking and it was so fun! I really feel like with Maki-san's help, I've made a big improvement over the last year. :) Thank you so much and see you next week <3

Back to Japanese after summer vacation - we started with verb forms and continued to text comprehension/questions and some new family vocab. It was a nice warm up and we'll continue weekly from now on again. :) It's good to be back.

Today we practiced speaking a lot, because I was getting depressed about my speaking skill being lower than listening and comprehension haha. Actually it went so well. I'm relieved now lol. At times it's difficult to tell how much progress I'm making, but Maki-san can assess it more clearly. Let's continue soon! :) 日本語を教えてくれてありがとうございます。<3
