Nanna-san is very patient when helping me with my Japanese which is important since I'm a beginner and frequently struggle putting together even simple sentences. She'll help by typing in the correct phrasing for what I'm trying to say so I can read it in addition to listening. She's very open and willing to share what's going on in her area so the lesson feels more like a friendly conversation than an actual class.

I am very happy with Nanna because she perfectly fits my needs. She is not only very helpful and patient in correcting my Japanese but also very knowledgeable in food and cooking and agriculture. It is very fun and inspirational to talk to her, and I enjoy my lessons very much. Thank you very much, Nanna!
