My lessons & teaching style
It's not about using because you are able to do, but being able to do because you use it.
Perfect the basics to be able to actually use Japanese in real life!
・はなせるように なるには、にほんごの音(おと=voice)になれることが、まず たいせつです。
・レッスンでは、会話の例(かいわの れい=sample dialogs)を たくさん ききます。
・きもちよく はなせるようになるまで、すこしずつ、なんかいも くりかえして れんしゅうします。

A great Saturday morning lesson. Lessons are always interactive and can be applied to real-life situations. A good reminder to consider the best kind of drink to have with curry rice!!

Ayako-san is a great teacher! I had so much fun while learning. Ayako-san reminded me that it's okay to make mistakes and was patient and encouraging. Ayako-san also helped me learn more about Japanese culture. I learned so much in a very short time! ありがとうございます!:)
