Aki

We had a lovely time talking about calligraphy and I learned a lot of vocabulary related to that! Also some grammar that happened to come up. I really appreciate that Aki-san takes time after the lesson to write out sample sentences using that vocabulary and grammar that I can use to review!

I am really impressed with how intuitive Aki-san is- she always picks up on the things that I'm struggling with, even if I don't realize what they are. Then she knows exactly what to do to help me improve. Additionally, she does all this while still having a fun and engaging conversation! ありがとうございました！また次のレッスンを楽しみにしています！

Really fun lesson with Aki chatting about package deliveries and how they can get stolen or damaged, how we usually spend our free time, and my recent sketch practice focusing on the foreground. As always, such a great time, lots of laughs, great conversation, and really helpful feedback!

I think I talked a lot today! 話しすぎました！I had a wonderful time talking about my Japan trip and also about how much Aki's conversation lessons help me to understand and speak more and more Japanese. And also to have the confidence to just speak it everywhere in hotels, the post office or just standing in line. Whenever someone can't speak English I can speak enough Japanese to get by and have lots of fun traveling Japan.

Really fun lesson with Aki chatting about my recent sketching, people always being on their phones instead of enjoying the moment, animal videos we love watching, and adorable mini animal species. As always, such a fun and interesting conversation with lots of laughs, great new vocabulary, and really helpful feedback!

Such a great lesson with Aki! We had a fun chat about the weather in California vs Seattle (and where she lives), older vs newer Star Wars, and how AI is a useful tool but not a replacement for real human connection. Always such a fun and engaging time with Aki!
