This was my first lesson, and the conversation with the teacher was very relaxed and comfortable. Teacher Aiko clearly understood my Japanese learning needs and arranged a suitable course plan for me. Even as a beginner, I found the lesson very interesting and enjoyable^^ I’m already looking forward to the next lesson!!
