Leaving for holiday in Japan in a couple days and thanks to Maki-san I am prepared to communicate in everyday situations! After a dozen lessons I think I will be able to confidently shop, order food and ask directions in Japanese! Thank you Maki-san and let's continue my studies in December. :)

Another great lesson with Maki-san! Each time we learn some new vocabulary and grammar and practice speaking. The atmosphere is always fun and relaxed, Maki-san is a patient teacher. Reviewing and self-study is very important though if you really want to move forward with your Japanese, so I've also taken up some homework from Maki-san as well. Sometimes I make a few sentences using the grammar we learned in the previous lesson, or I learn couple dozen new words which Maki-san quizzes me on the next time we meet. This has worked very well for me. Thank you very much and let's continue! ๐คฉ

It is amazing how quickly you learn Japanese language with Makiko san. Even so the grammar can be difficult, but it is never difficult with Makiko san. Thank you for your kind guidance!!!

After three lessons with Maki-san I've already made considerable progress! I'm not so shy to speak and much more motivated to study as I see myself getting better every day! Naturally, if you don't study/do homework, you won't be going forward very fast, but if you're dedicated, Maki-san can help you build grammar and vocabulary in order for you to be able to communicate in Japanese from the very beginning. Thank you for another great lesson, Maki-san! ๐คฉ
