Due to my holidays we skipped last week's lesson, so this time we caught up with much conversation about what I've been doing during the holidays. Speaking is naturally the most difficult, but I think I've been improving and I can react to questions more quickly now, not freezing all the time. :D Thank you, Maki-san and see you next week. :)

Learning grammar, conversation, culture... Everything is possible when you have a reliable, fun and patient teacher like Maki-san! Thank you again for today's fun and super interesting lesson and let's meet soon again :))

Another fruitful lesson with Maki-san where I could feel my improvement. :) We made a lot of sentences and connected sentences by using te-form. Italki lessons are a good way to practice what I learned by myself, ask questions and get feedback about mistakes etc. I feel encouraged to study more as always - thank you Maki-san and see you next week :))

Today we reviewed different verb forms, which I find very useful, because with some verbs I haven't used as much yet, I might get confused about the te-form for example. Then we did pair exercises from the Genki book. I love doing those, because it forces me to speak, and speaking has naturally been the most difficult, so it's good training. Also we have much fun making up different stories/situations. :D Thank you for today's lesson Maki-san and let's keep at it. :)

At first we usually chat about how we're doing/what we've been doing etc. I'm glad to say that these simple conversations in Japanese are not a source of dread for me anymore, but I can tell my teacher about my activities quite confidently now, with guidance of course :) Then we practiced reading (a text about colors) and in the end did a bit of textbook exercise on connecting verbs. :) Again, very useful and nicely structured lesson, thank you very much Maki-san. :))

In today's lesson warm up we went through some vocabulary concerning animals in the Zoo. It was fun as I love animals :D Then we started on lesson 6 in Genki 1 and practiced Te-form which is honestly one of the most useful grammar points for building up your Japanese grammar. :) Thank you Maki-san and see you next week! :))
