We talked about icy weather conditions - very relevant for this time of year! And, also, about Haiku, and some of the important rules for writing one. I look forward to trying to write some!

This was my first lesson of the year and I was really happy that Yuzo Sensei gave me ample exercises on grammar, since I needed a strong foundation in order to move forward in my Japanese study. I have been taking lessons with Yuzo Sensei just under a year and he has helped me improve steadily on grammar, vocabulary, reading and listening. Sensei also gives me weekly homework besides the custom-made lessons. Because of these continuous practices, I was confident enough to take the JLPT N5 test. This year I look forward to working more with Yuzo Sensei in order to move up to N4 level.

Thank you so much for the lesson, it was perfect and I really feel like I am improving a lot. After each lesson, I feel like I am getting more and more comfortable.

I've put off another review for far too long. Today was my 103rd lesson with Yuuzou-sensei, and I can confirm that even after all this time it feels like every lesson is better than the last, mainly due to my skill increase due to Yuuzou-sensei's very patient and thoughtful teaching. I look forward to a hundred more! 今日はレビューを書くのが本当に遅くなってしまいました。今日で、雄三先生とのレッスンは103回目になりましたが、この全ての時間を通じて、前のレッスンよりも毎回が良くなっているように感じています。それは主に、雄三先生の忍耐強い、思慮深い指導のおかげで、私の能力がどんどん上がっているからです。次の100回のレッスンも楽しみにしています!

Yuzo-San is very flexible and he does his best to try to explain everything in Japanese even when the explanation is difficult. I really appreciate his effort and his ability to tolerate even if there are technical difficulties. I am sorry for my mistakes and thank you for help in getting me better.
