Мне понравилось. おもしろかったです。

Hideki sensei was very kind and approachable. He let me speak freely, then corrected my sentences in a very gentle manner so I never felt bad about them. Looking forward to maybe discussing news or reading some books in the next sessions!

Very helpfully, Hideki-san followed up with a list of words I stumbled over.

今日は授業ありがとうございました。楽しく面接のお話ができて、とても嬉しかったです。

Over a number of sessions, I read with my teacher a portion of a popular Japanese light fiction novel series. My teacher helpfully provided me with a list of "missed" vocabulary after each lesson. He also helped elucidate the meaning of typically Japanese "non-subject" sentences and other cultural-linguistic differences with my native language.

Reading a mystery novel together. Helping esp. when the subject of sentences (as is frequent in Japanese) is unstated and how the subject can be "identified" by subtle clues.
