This was our first lesson on 2026! I felt very encouraged as we reviewed briefly the material that we’d covered at the end of last year and I’m excited about the next phrases to learn

I appreciate Aiko’s patience as we work with the new vocabulary. There’s a lot to remember and I appreciate that Aiko always gives plenty of opportunities to practice. I enjoy that our lessons incorporate real-life examples and I’m encouraged not just to read the answers to the examples but to answer the examples with my own answers. And I appreciate Aiko letting me practice by asking the same questions

I appreciate the continued reviews and patience as we go through lessons. I like how we go through the example questions together and we also practice answering them for ourselves and I appreciate the practice in asking the questions too.

We’ve gone over a lot of vocabulary. Aiko sensai always makes it very fun and engaging, I appreciate her encouragement to speak because it’s the best way to learn. I also appreciate that she celebrates with me when I get an answer correct. I enjoy her lessons very much and appreciate that she uses the practice questions to encourage me to answer them like I would if I were to be asked in Japan.

We learned a lot of new words and I appreciate Aiko’s patience as I practiced new phrases and reviewed old vocabulary as well.

This was my second lesson back after a longer break between lessons and I appreciate Aiko’s homework plan that helps me review prior knowledge. I definitely feel like I slipped back some but thanks to Aiko’s patience, encouragement and willingness to review material to make sure we can build forward from past lessons I feel like I’m once again moving in the right direction. I appreciate the example questions then the way she asks you the questions so you are able to practice responding for yourself, it’s a great way to practice speaking and I’m always encouraged to practice speaking even when it’s challenging.
