Third lesson done! I am really enjoying our classes. We continue to learn Hiragana, but also take some sneakpeaks into Katakana and Kanji as well. And I was mindblown when I understood where the word Tamagochi comes from! I have such a great time studying Japanese with Asami sensei. Can't wait for next lesson! Arrigato, Asami sensei!

This was a great first lesson! Asami-san was patient and very good at explaining whenever I had a question. I also left this class with new words and a little more understanding of different words, grammar and cultural aspects. ありがとう、麻美さん

Asami-sensei is a great teacher! Today we started learning Hiragana and I got to practice some sentences I had written down. Asami-sensei is such a wonderful teacher that makes me feel secure and confident, and I just want to hang out and learn more Japanese. Arrigato!
