Ich hatte heute die dritte Stunde mit Mari-先生 und finde ihren Unterricht wirklich toll. ☺️
Sie ist eine sehr freundliche und geduldige Lehrerin und es macht Spaß mit ihr zu lernen.
Sie versucht alles gut zu erklären und motiviert einen auch viel selbst zu sprechen, was vor allem für mich sehr wichtig ist, da ich noch sehr schlecht im Sprechen bin.
Der Unterricht ist gut strukturiert und sie versucht auch meine Wünsche im Unterricht umzusetzen.
Wir lernen hauptsächlich mit dem Buch Genki und Dateien, die Mari-先生 bereitstellt.
Man bekommt auch kleine Aufgaben zur Vorbereitung auf die nächste Stunde.
Ich freue mich schon auf den weiteren Unterricht! ☺️

I've been learning Japanese with Mari san teacher for over six months, and it's been a wonderful experience. She is always cheerful, positive, and full of energy, which makes every lesson enjoyable and motivating. Her teaching style is engaging, interactive, and supportive, helping me stay focused and confident as I learn. We use the Genki textbook, which she teaches in a clear and effective way. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to study Japanese in a fun and encouraging environment.

If you search for a kind and funny teacher, I can recommend Mariさん。
I also recommended her to one of my old japanese classmates. Of course sometimes it can be hard but with Mariさん you can solve anything. The way she explains the grammar is perfect. She also uses her own materials ♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪
