Satoko

こんばんは。今日もsatoko先生との勉強はめっちゃ楽しくて感謝の時間でした。先生は僕のレベルにあわせて自然な会話ができるように丁寧に指導してくださいました。特に今日は来月に旅行で広島に行く予定があって広島の見所や食べ物などについていろいろ教えていただきました。日本語でアウトプットの機会があまりなくて日本人の先生と話をすることは毎回緊張していますが先生のお蔭様で順調に勉強しています。自然に話したいならsatoko先生がぴったりです。まだ、日本の文化や知りたいことが多くて来週の時間もお待ちしています。ありがとうございます。

先生はいつもありがとうございます！今日はたくさんことを話して新しい言葉を習って嬉しいです。先生の説明は優しくてわかりやすいです。そしても、いつも楽しかったです！

Every lesson with Satoko Sensei has been helpful, productive, natural, but most of all — fun! We work on new words and expressions and the occasional slang word even. Conversations flow and don’t feel pressured. I’m always given plenty of time to say what I’m trying to say. And even when I get confused, she gently guides the conversation back to the topic at hand. If you are thinking of starting Japanese conversation lessons this new year, you shouldn’t hesitate to try some lessons with Satoko. :)

Satoko Sensei understands it's truly hard to learn a language, but she is so patient and kind! She lets me struggle through my grammar without judgment, but gives me tips and suggestions along the way. These are not boring classroom lessons, these are real, breathing, authentic Japanese language experiences! My confidence has really increased! I bumped into some Japanese people after a basketball game the other day, and because of my lessons with Satoko Sensei, I had the confidence to try talking with them, too. This is why I study Japanese! Connecting with another culture is AMAZING!! I love it!

Need a New Year's resolution?? Look no further than Satoko Sensei and start speaking Japanese! I've tried to learn Japanese for a long time, but learning with Satoko has been truly a "level-up" experience. I'm actually looking forward to each next lesson because I know we'll find something fun to talk about. I used to be afraid of making mistakes, but with Satoko my confidence is increasing. That's the way learning should be in my opinion -- fun and effective. Lessons have been a great balance of listening and speaking. みなさん、頑張ってくださいね！😉

Satoko Sensei is fabulously helpful for getting started with Japanese conversation practice! She makes sure to make you feel at ease and is very encouraging. She gives helpful notes and feedback, all the while giving plenty of room for you to experiment and make mistakes which is just part of learning language anyway. The time flies by and doesn't feel like a boring language lesson. I would highly recommend taking some lessons with Satoko! :)
