Mwalimu Grace is always punctual and so well prepared. We finished reading a story from last time, went over some reading comprehension questions, then moved on to watching a video about the Congo forest. It was very interesting.

Today's lesson was fantastic. Mwalimu Grace was punctual and professional as always. We started with some small talk about the past week then dove back into the short story we're working on. There are idioms and cultural mentions that I would be lost on if not for Mwalimu Grace. Her help is really deepening my understanding of Swahili language and culture.

We had a great lesson today. Started off with some cultural discussions then did some reading of a short story. As usual, Mwalimu Grace came up with some excellent explanations for words and phrases I was unfamiliar with. I always finish a lesson with her feeling like I made good progress.

Super lesson with Grace! We continued learning about how nouns influence verbs, adjectives, numbers, etc. with different noun classes. In this lesson, we looked at m/wa, m/mi and ki/vi noun classes. This is a very important topic, and Grace does a nice job of explaining clearly. Grace is always very pleasant and supportive!

Great lesson with Grace! We learned about using the m/mi noun group with verbs and adjectives. Grace had me create example sentences using m/mi nouns. Grace explained the idea very nicely and I understood it very well!

Great lesson with Grace! We continued learning about how the m/wa noun class affects the sentence - including the verb, adjectives, numbers and possessive pronouns. Grace used numerous examples to illustrate the concept, and I was able to understand and make sentences. Grace has a very pleasant manner and her lesson is really effective!
