Excellent lesson with 陆老师! She did an outstanding job of organizing the class around the written materials she had prepared, but structuring the lesson in a way that was engaging and conversational. I was also impressed by her ability to break down and explain difficult phrases without resorting to English. It gave me a lot of confidence to have a lesson 100% in Chinese. I'm already looking forward to our next lesson!
