Kaji worked through some examples sentences with me and helped make them more natural.
We also review some N2 questions.
Kaji's explanations and example sentences are excellent and very effective to help memorise any words or grammar 👍🏻

We went through some JLPT style questions. Kaji provided guidance on the words or grammar that I was not familiar with or had forgotten. Looking forward to the next lesson.
