Such a fun lesson with Ayako filled with lots of different conversations and interesting topics! We talked about the upcoming solar eclipse in Europe, how delicious kombucha is (and how tricky it can be to make at home), and the different work ethics found in various countries and even different parts of the U.S. As always, the conversation was engaging from start to finish, and I came away with lots of helpful notes, useful new vocabulary, and great explanations. The time always flies!

Les leçons avec Ayako me font beaucoup progresser ! J’étudie avec des manuels souvent mais c’est grâce à mes leçons avec Ayako que je peux faire le lien entre tout ce que j’apprends et le mettre en pratique. Elle réponds à mes questions et développe toujours ses réponses et c’est très enrichissant 😊 Ma compréhension du japonais a nettement augmenté mais je dois travailler dur sur l'oral ! C'est un rendez-vous que j’attends toujours avec impatience merci beaucoup pour votre gentillesse アヤコさん♪

Another successful lesson with Ayako-san! I feel like we always have a lot to talk about, even at my level, and she always makes sure that I can understand what she says. The grammar points she provides are always very helpful, and I find myself using them during class conversations too! あやこさん、お疲れ様です！また今度！

Today we had a very interesting class with Ayako-san. We discussed briefly a film festival I attended, inclusive three Japanese movies (btw, whoever reads this, please go and watch Ryuusuke Hamaguchi's "Soudain"), practiced grammar forms and read a new text. Because I had a small break, today I felt very "rusty", but Sensei gave me a lot of encouragement. As usual, I sincerely recommend booking classes with Ayako-sensei.

Very fun lesson with Ayako talking about my how busy life can be, how one can think they are good at something by watching vs practicing, and how we watch and listen to things with various speeds and subtitles. Always an amazing time that goes by super fast and is filled with delightful conversation and helpful notes!

Very fun lesson with Ayako talking about people who constantly change their plans, how stressful it is to travel during the holidays, what we usually make during that time of year, and the different types of hobbies people have. The time always goes by incredibly fast cause I'm not only learning so much but having such a wonderful engaging convo!
