日本語教育能力検定試験 - 日本国際教育支援協会 - 2020To pass the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test, a solid understanding of theories, teaching methods, and assessment techniques in Japanese language education is required, along with knowledge of Japanese grammar and vocabulary. Practical teaching skills and a perspective of intercultural understanding are also essential. My surname has changed due to marriage; however, the certificate issuing organization does not have a process for updating surnames, so it remains in my maiden name.

We talked about the different illnesses I currently have. We also discussed the differences between the healthcare systems in the USA and Japan. Finally, we reviewed Genki Chapter 20 and Sayumi-san had to patiently wait for me to look up そんけいご and けんじょうご terms. Thanks for your patience!

Very friendly teacher. Says things in Japanese and English as well as explains things in a way that makes sense. Internet connection was not good so we had to switch to zoom and her video was laggy but for a trial lesson I was able to follow along still.

Sayumi-san is patient and doesn’t mind to repeat when I need some help! I love my lessons with her.

Today, we had a fun conversation about lawns, gardens, the seasons, and the weather. I learned how the vegetation is affected by the seasons and weather in Japan. It was fun to learn that it was a little different from my expectations.

Today, we talked about work and the different things I'm anxious about. We also discussed various foods because I went to a restaurant for the first time this past weekend. We then reviewed Genki Chapter 20 and went over the differences between the different respectful forms.

We discussed a lot of food today. Specifically, mochi and the different types that can be made. In Hawaii, there are places that make quite the variety of mochi. We also talked about the different food options at Costco and how tasty they are.
