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♪

A very fun lesson with Ayako talking about how it’s nice doing things at home when no one is there to get in our way, the various trends people follow because of social media, the types of cookies we make , as well as minimalist lifestyles vs hoarding and how we try to live somewhere in between. I always love our lessons together. Even though I learn so much it always feels like catching up with a friend!

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.

Today we did more Kanji and Vocab drills. I still have a way to go, but I'm enjoying the process so very much. Sensei is very patient with me and gives lots of encouragement. Looking forward to the next class!

Soy fan de Ayako, amo sus clases. Es muy simpática y siempre me ayuda a aprender más.
