Today we reviewed quite a few new grammar !! Ayako's lessons are fun and interesting, we talk about lots of different topics too, which helps me to learn and practice new vocab, and to try to respond naturally in Japanese. I am glad to have found Ayako as a teacher, there has been a huge improvement in my Japanese since I started taking lessons in Spring last year. I am excited for my next trip to Japan, to be able to use what I have learned so far and to see how much I have improved since my last trip in October ^-^ ありがとうございました、あやこ先生!

Les leçons avec Ayako me font beaucoup progresser ! J’étudie avec des manuels souvent mais c’est grâce à mes leçons avec Ayako que je peux faire le lien entre tout ce que j’apprends et le mettre en pratique. Elle réponds à mes questions et développe toujours ses réponses et c’est très enrichissant 😊 Ma compréhension du japonais a nettement augmenté mais je dois travailler dur sur l'oral ! C'est un rendez-vous que j’attends toujours avec impatience merci beaucoup pour votre gentillesse アヤコさん♪

In todays lesson we went over some new grammar (訳だ etcc), and a conversation reading practice about 「OL」(office ladies) in Japan, this had quite a bit of new vocabulary but Ayako explained them well so I could understandd -and I will practice and try to remember them for next timee ^-^. Since Ayako writes how to read words/ meaning etc in the chat in lesson if I am unsure on them, it makes it easier to revise the words from the past lesson since the ones I didn't remember/know are in the chat !!! ありがとうございました、あやこ先生!レッスンは楽しかったです。

Great lesson with Ayako talking about how much coffee and tea we drink each day, going out to eat vs takeout, and the kind of shows we’re addicted to these days. Another joyful and helpful lesson with Ayako! She never ceases to be fun to talk to and her dedication to giving notes and feedback is always there and very much appreciated!

Today we went over past grammar, and a reading practice of like an article- it had quite a bit of new vocab/kanji that I forgot/ didn't recognise etc in but Ayako clearly explained the meaning of the ones I didn't get ^-^ ! レッスンは楽しかったです。ありがとうございました、あやこ先生!😊
