Warm up - Free talk, review from previous lesson, check today's goal

Nana was wonderful. She was very patient with me and she challenged me to use my Japanese more. I definitely recommend her for those who are serious learners.

Nana sensei is a very attentive teacher, and she listens carefully and customizes to my learning needs genuinely. I feel very fortunate to come across Nana sensei among so many italki Japanese teachers, and the vibe is exact. Next week, she'll be tapping my weakest link into the Transitive verb v.s. Intransitive verb. I'm very excited. ^_^V
I highly recommend Nana sensei to anyone who loves Japanese culture and the Japanese language.

WI had my fourth lesson with Nana last night. She is so thorough! She goes through what we reviewed in our previous lessons and also explains the vocab, kanji, and grammar points of the next section really clearly. She also asked me to make my own original sentences using the grammar points that we are covering. Thanks to her, I am super motivated to continue reviewing & studying at home which I have been struggling with. Looking forward to our next lesson ^^!

Nana is an excellent teacher and deserves her title as a top teacher on Italki. Would recommend.
