I'm on to my third package with Yuko. Conversations with Yuko are consistently fun and informative and that helps with grammar practice (eg. verb passive form) because there's just so much to talk about each time!

昨日は、日本やアメリカの永住について話しました。処理するのに時間はかかるものの、アメリカは待たずにすぐ申請できることは知らなかったです。それで学費も安くなるなら、申請する人は多いでしょうね。 お時間をいただき、ありがとうございました!

We had in-depth discussions on the cultural differences surrounding the use of contracts (employment, real estate et cetera) in Japan and other countries. Also got to revise verb conjugations like 〜られる. Had great fun and am looking forward to my next lesson as usual!

Had a very informative class on particles (に、と 、が、はetc) where we discussed the unusual applications of some of the particles in specific instances and revised the conjugation rules for な- and い-adjectives.
