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 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!

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.

A very fun lesson with Aki talking about different types of gardens, how the US doesn’t have a specific style and usually only has manicured lawns, the hard work it takes to garden, the costly price of Bonsai plants, and weird funeral rituals people have for pets and plants. Such a fun and interesting lesson with helpful notes and a lot of laughs!

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!
