We had a lovely time talking about calligraphy and I learned a lot of vocabulary related to that! Also some grammar that happened to come up. I really appreciate that Aki-san takes time after the lesson to write out sample sentences using that vocabulary and grammar that I can use to review!

I am really impressed with how intuitive Aki-san is- she always picks up on the things that I'm struggling with, even if I don't realize what they are. Then she knows exactly what to do to help me improve. Additionally, she does all this while still having a fun and engaging conversation! ありがとうございました！また次のレッスンを楽しみにしています！

Such a fun lesson with Aki talking about how we both don’t have any piercing and tattoos, and the different types of trends there are for them, how some people look really great without hair and how we use to dye ours, my in person sketch lesson and how language learning is the perfect lesson to have online. Really great time with lots of great conversation and helpful notes. She always makes the time fly by!

I think I talked a lot today! 話しすぎました！I had a wonderful time talking about my Japan trip and also about how much Aki's conversation lessons help me to understand and speak more and more Japanese. And also to have the confidence to just speak it everywhere in hotels, the post office or just standing in line. Whenever someone can't speak English I can speak enough Japanese to get by and have lots of fun traveling Japan.

Very fun lesson with Aki talking about overgrown trails, the type of wild animals we encounter, Copic markers and how the price differs in the US vs Japan, and how language learning is much better in a one on one setting vs group. Always such a great time with lots of interesting topics and new vocabulary to sound more natural!

A very fun lesson with Aki talking about how we don’t mind driving, it’s the other drivers we mind, people who do things “just in case” vs those who don’t plan ahead, people who worry too much, and giving opinions vs restraining yourself from opening up. It was a really interesting time with lots of great conversation topics and really helpful new vocabulary!
