I’m Japanese where I lived my youth then I moved to Brazil. Moving from one country to another help me to understand the importance of learning new languages. To acquire a new language takes time and effort but the payback is huge. The opportunities and adventures are endless. It is said that if you learn a new language you get a new soul, I think that a new language opens new windows to the world. My hobbies are clay craft (game characters, anime characters), sewing, watching anime, games, and eating sweets. 日本(にほん)で 生まれ育ち(うまれそだち)、母国語(ぼこくご)は 日本語(にほんご)です。 ブラジルに 8年間(ねんかん)住(す)んだ ので、ポルトガル語(ご)が 話(はな)せます。 趣味(しゅみ)は、アニメ や ゲーム の キャラクター の 粘土細工(ねんどざいく)、裁縫(さいほう)、ゲーム や アニメ と 甘い物(あまいもの)を 食(た)べることです。

Long time no see. I had a very enjoyable conversation with Yumi during the class. The teacher's ability to create a comfortable and engaging environment made the learning process enjoyable, We talk about the Table tennis and glucose monitor And the class is really full of fun

Another very good lesson. Yumi kindly writes the words and phrases that we discuss, so that I've got a record. I then make Anki cards, so I can remember them. She gave me the URL for NHK Easy News, so I can try reading. The lessons with Yumi are always enjoyable.

Vou escrever este comentário para os brasileiros e falantes de português que estão em dúvida sobre qual professor de japonês escolher, porque eu mesma já tive essa dúvida muito tempo atrás e a deixei como última opção. Yumi-san se adequa aos interesses do aluno com a língua japonesa, usa o máximo possível de japonês nas aulas, tem uma pontualidade absurda e está sempre com um sorriso contagiante no rosto, até mesmo quando é mordida por um cachorro ou falando de suas espinhas. É um ser que brilha e, sem dúvidas, uma das melhores professoras que já tive no Italki, dentre vários de cinco idiomas e de várias nacionalidades. Tanto é que estou finalmente terminando o Minna no Nihongo Shokyu II, depois de ter enrolado por mais de quatro anos.

It was another very good lesson. Yumi is very patient and is happy to go over things until I understand.

It was another very good lesson. We reviewed some of the topics we had covered in the first two lessons. I had a number of questions, which Yumi answered. Yumi is always very attentive and gears the lessons towards my interests, which makes the lessons interesting and fun.
