We went through foods, fruits and drinks, and made a plan for the next weeks for speaking more. Miriam is very good at motivating me and she does a really great job as a teacher. She explains in a way that is easy to understand and everything she does is with a smile. Asante sana! Wewe ni bora sana!

Today was great! Miriam taught me about object concord, and we worked on translating sentences with different tenses. And we laugh a lot, which made the lesson so enjoyable, because it felt like hanging out with a friend, who is quit knowledgeable.
I learn so much from everything we do. Asante, Miriam!
