Thanks to my lessons with Riri I've become much more comfortable speaking Japanese! Her friendly and encouraging attitude has helped me learn real, natural ways of speaking that I can comfortably use with my Japanese friends. She frequently uses examples to reinforce new concepts and make them easy to understand. She's good at picking up on whether or not I understand things she says without stopping the conversation so it always flows naturally. She's always funny and lighthearted which takes the pressure off of speaking, and I always have fun in her lessons. I also really enjoy listening to her podcast and it's great listening practice! I'm so thankful for her and hope she always continues to teach!

初めてのレッスンだったんですけど、すごく盛り上がりました！リリさんのおかげで、日本語の勉強を続けるモチベーションがさらに上がりました。将来で100回以上のレッスンを突破できると思います！

Riri-san is really kind and guides the conversation well. For me it was hard to keep talking for a whole hour, but she always had plenty of questions and things to ask me about. If I didn't understand something, she explained it very well in easy Japanese.

Riri is one of the few people who can clearly explain Japanese, and especially 関西弁, which I am currently learning. She introduces me to a lot of new words that I either hadn’t paid attention to before or simply didn’t know, while also providing simple explanations and examples. She is a very kind person, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Japanese, and especially 関西弁. :)

The lessons with Riri are so much fun! I've already learned a lot of new words and also some Kansai-ben. She always writes down new words for me and gives a lot of examples how to use them. What I appreciate most is that she speaks at a natural speed and only slows down when I get stuck.

Riri is such a friendly, warm and encouraging teacher. She truly makes an effort to explain things I don't understand in simple Japanese instead of switching to English, which I highly appreciate, and she always makes the conversation flow freely even though I can't speak Japanese very well yet. She is very communicative and makes sure to tailor the lessons to my learning goals. I always have so much fun in her classes! Thanks to her gentle feedback and patience, I always feel more confident after speaking with her. I highly recommend her lessons!
