Kaoru

カオルさんと話すたびにいい経験になる。きっと価値がある。

we worked on reading and comprehending “easy” japanese readings

Kaoru Sensei felt very easy to speak with, and was very helpful in explaining phrases that I didn't understand. Definitely booking another lesson!

This lesson was so much fun! In this lesson the focus was centered on the Ga line of the hirigana chart because it was where I was getting stuck. Karou sensei helped me a lot by having me repeat pronunciations and when I mixed up my hirigana she even went as far as to show me the difference between the hirigana I had said and what I was being show. If you are looking for a kind teacher that will lift you up during lessons Karou sensei is the kind of teacher you are looking for.

We read a short book together. She was very patient as I fumbled through and asked for vocabulary help. For words she didn't know in English, she was quickly able to use her resources and find the info I needed. After, we chatted lightly and it went well.

This was a short 30 minute meet and chat call. I had never really spoken much Japanese, despite being able to read confidently and work through sentences with time. So it was very challenging, but she was willing to be patient and sit through my broken Japanese as I tried to remember stuff that I swear I knew. Will be booking some more follow ups as I continue to practice speaking.
