Goma

I can't believe I'm about to enter my fourth year studying with Goma-sensei... Three years ago, I had completed a few elementary Japanese courses in college and tried a lesson with Goma-sensei for the first time. I was so nervous to speak and worried about my Japanese skills. Goma-sensei helped me advance astronomically with patience, kindness, and fun, to the point where three months ago I was offered a position as a Japanese interpreter for an engineering company. From the beginning, Goma-sensei has only spoken with me in Japanese. She is an excellent communicator, so even though I was very much a beginner, she found ways to teach me creatively. She helped me learn to feel comfortable trying my best, even when I mess up. I look forward to my lessons with Goma-sensei each week, and I am so happy with how much she helped me learn. I now have all sorts of interesting conversations in Japanese! I'm excited to continue learning together, and I can't recommend her enough.

这次讲到了在中国遇到日本朋友的事情，还有讲到了学习日语的坎坷。也分享到了彼此的兴趣！ 这次向老师倾诉一些在中国发生的日常（民风淳朴）主要涉及到こっかさべつ。我问老师能否分享，她说可以！ 老师也能理解我当初的心情！不好意思！不小心说出来了！谢谢理解！ 希望有机会的话，我们在课程上见！

First full lesson with Goma. Having only 1 week’s worth of Japanese experience, she does an amazing job of accommodating for my preferred learning style. I came to our lesson with a bunch of images involving clothing and colors (my chosen topic for the lesson) and we were able to spend the whole hour on just one!!! We were able cover lots of Japanese vocab from just one image (writing notes for review along the way). Incredible!! Her flexibility and patience is amazing. And her being able use only Japanese during the lesson (even with my little knowledge) is exceptional. ありがとうございますGoma先生

Goma-san tailored the class perfectly to my needs and level! I gained so much more than I expected, and she is incredibly kind and patient. The class notes are super helpful for reviewing after the lessons. I highly recommend her classes to students of all levels who are keen on learning Japanese!

いつものようにレッスンをとても楽しんでいます！ゴマ先生は最高の先生です😆

我很喜欢老师的教学方法。先生が大好き！
