日本人と話した間、発音についてたくさん疑問がありました。でも、正直いえば、間違いの原因はずっとわかりません。まき先生は簡単な言葉に、その原因を説明しました!さすが先生です!凄い!
When talking with Japanese, I had a lot of questions about pronunciation. But to be honest, I don't know the cause of the mistake for a long time. Maki先生 explained the cause in simple words! Great!

I am such a nervous person, and I need someone to just talk to with no expectations to be perfect. I do not get anxious at all with Maki san.
I’m also terrible at talking about myself- no problem for her, as she kept the conversation going. I learn so much from her questions and she is incredibly patient. If you are shy and need a conversation partner (you do, trust me)- choose Maki san!

Makisan!!!!!
I could tell you about Makisan for days. She is very compassionate and always smiles. I consider Makisan to be not only a superb instructor but also an educator, a kind person. I have been taking classes with Makisan for a long time, and I don't believe I could learn Japanese from anybody else. Nobody at my university can even come close to Makisan's teaching methodology, which I have in my Japanese studies classes. Everything is made easy and tranquil by her distinctive teaching approach. She also considers linguistic aspects like phonetics, syntax, etc. to be important. All of it will be summed up as "the best teaching experience of my life." In her capacity as a teacher, she sacrifices everything to set things right.
Makisan, I'm in astonishment at your patience! and Japanese, everything you teach me makes it much more special for me.🙏 Makiさん、どうもありがとうございました

We also had a lot of fun today. I asked some questions about Japanese culture. Maki explained them in great detail. Talking about the differences between two cultures is always interesting. And last but not least, I hope Maki's throat recovers soon and always be healthy.
