Mana先生はいつも自分で説明するように促してくれます。 その後、もっと自然な表現や文法があれば教えてくれます。だから、自由に話すことも新しい言葉や文法も練習できます。

Another great lesson with Manami Sensei! She helped me with some grammars I found really confusing for me and it worked really well! We also shared some interesting differences between Chinese and Japanese language. All in all it was a very interesting and helpful lesson.

Excellent! I really enjoyed this lesson. I realized that things I thought I knew I do not. Also, I like that I can take time to try to understand rather than following a book strictly.

This was my tenth lesson with Mana-sensei and I cannot recommend her lessons enough! She has an exceptional ability to create engaging conversations, ask interesting questions and introduce vocabulary from vastly different fields from session to session. Although I still have much to learn, thanks to her, I now feel confident engaging in Japanese small talk now.

This was my sixth lesson with Mana Sensei and I cannot recommend her enough! Of course I still make mistakes, but thanks to Mana Sensei I've become much more confident! I love that she shares a Word document the whole time where she writes down any words or grammar points I'm missing. This way I can not only hear the corrections but also read them. She even sends me the file afterwards so I can go back through and practice. Plus, if I'm missing a word, she always gives me time to try explaining myself with other words before she writes the correction. This way I can both practice speaking Japanese with the knowledge I have now and learn new vocabulary at the same time!
