Kaji is easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. We had a great chat today on various subjects.
Kaji also helped with my understanding of the grammar point (ともかく).
I am looking forward to the next lesson.

I really enjoyed today's lesson. It was two hours and just what I needed to increase my knowledge and confidence. Kaji is an excellent teacher, plenty of content, examples and conversation.

かじさん helped me with というものではない and the explanations provided really helped me understand how to use it.
Next we reviewed はともかく and I will send some example sentences for かじさん to review and provide further feedback. Looking forward to the next lesson
