As great as always!!
In the beginning of the lesson I was struggling a bit with many words but it was great practice! It helped me learn words I never thought I'd need so soon in my studying, so I'm glad we covered them 😊
I started getting the hang of things later on but honestly if it wasn't for Maiko-sensei's help I don't think I'd be able to get through some of the things we covered.
This is why I'm thankful for having such a great teacher - I know that I have both a great conversation parter and someone to be there and correct me when I face a challenging topic or new words.
I can't get enough of how the most trivial word we cover can lead to a whole new conversation that teaches me a lot about our different cultures, introduces me to new vocabulary, gives me a chance to practice my grammar and speech, and is always fun regardless!
今日もお疲れ様でした！来週の授業にもう楽しみにしています😃😃
