Ayako

Today we reviewed quite a few new grammar !! Ayako's lessons are fun and interesting, we talk about lots of different topics too, which helps me to learn and practice new vocab, and to try to respond naturally in Japanese. I am glad to have found Ayako as a teacher, there has been a huge improvement in my Japanese since I started taking lessons in Spring last year. I am excited for my next trip to Japan, to be able to use what I have learned so far and to see how much I have improved since my last trip in October ^-^ ありがとうございました、あやこ先生！

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 fantastic class. Always surprised by how many new things I learn each week. Thank you, Sensei!

Great lesson with Ayako talking about how much coffee and tea we drink each day, going out to eat vs takeout, and the kind of shows we’re addicted to these days. Another joyful and helpful lesson with Ayako! She never ceases to be fun to talk to and her dedication to giving notes and feedback is always there and very much appreciated!

In this lesson, we went over a reading exercise about 小泉八雲, and we also read the story of 「雪の女」by 小泉八雲!!! Was a fun lesson and was interesting to read one of 小泉八雲's stories ^-^! This was my last lesson of this year (until next ofc) ! I have definitely learned a lot this year in lessons with Ayako (we have had so many fun conversations, reviewed sooo much new grammar, kanji and vocab, I have learnt a lot about Japanese culture [and sometimes about French culture too !!] etcc) It has been a very fun and productive year ! I feel like I have made some good progress in my Japanese (since I started lessons with Ayako last year) too :] !!! ありがとうございました、あやこ先生！楽しいお正月を😊

Today we went over some laundry word questions of the vocabulary that I learnt last lesson, and a workbook (おかげで /ば　ほど etc), we also spoke about college/animal care, about learning languages etcc (so speaking practice too) !!! レッスンは楽しかったです！ありがとうございました、あやこ先生！
