Another fantastic lesson today! It was also the final lesson of 2022, so it's time to reflect. I doubt I would have believed you if you told me at the start of the year that I would begin learning Korean this year. Sato has only been helpful and positive!  I stumbled across his profile a few months back knowing just Hangul and couldn't understand anything else. Sato has taught me a TON of vocabulary, as well as how to make basic sentences (in polite, casual, written, and politest form) and conjugate words. We even learned how to form the negative and positive past tense. He's also taught me a lot about pronunciation, which is something I need a lot of help with. I've had 43 lessons with him, and let me tell you, he's far superior to textbook studying. He teaches me words and phrases that I will really use, rather than simply random things. He offers a lot of examples and constantly explains things differently if you don't grasp the concept the first time. Thank you! See you in 2023!

As another year studying with Sato San is finishing, I feel the need to write a proper review. A new year's resolution two years ago changed my life, I decided to try learning another language and shortly after discovered Sato San. Looking back after almost 100 lessons it is hard to believe we've come so far. Starting from scratch, we are now conducting class in almost exclusively Japanese. I am still far from proficient, but feel like I have an extremely solid foundation to build my intermediate level Japanese on. Sato San's style of teaching puts the ball in your court as a learner. The amount of information and study material he provides is abundant, its up to you as a student to study and apply. We have come a very long way together and I am very grateful as a student to have found such a great guide on my language Journey. We continue to trudge towards the metaphorical peak of Everest together. Sato San- 本当に　ありがとうございました

Another fun and very helpful lesson with Sato-sensei! I appreciate his patience and understanding when I forget vocabulary or make mistakes. And I'm super enjoying the pace and really am absorbing the new information well. I also enjoy all the cultural and language context that he gives as we go through the lesson. It gives so much more life and meaning to learning Japanese. I also found it very easy to study up on the previous lesson thanks to the Google Doc notes and organization.

Perfect fit for my learning style, he pushed me to be better immediately and I appreciate that. His English is good and I already recommended him to friends who are also learning

I wasn't feeling well today, so Mr Sato was kind enough to provide me with a homework lesson.

Sato-san and I reviewed and then finished up そくおん vocab today! We’ve completed the Hiragana lessons and will be moving on to Japanese greetings.
