Such a fun lesson with Ayako filled with lots of different conversations and interesting topics! We talked about the upcoming solar eclipse in Europe, how delicious kombucha is (and how tricky it can be to make at home), and the different work ethics found in various countries and even different parts of the U.S. As always, the conversation was engaging from start to finish, and I came away with lots of helpful notes, useful new vocabulary, and great explanations. The time always flies!

Les leçons avec Ayako me font beaucoup progresser ! J’étudie avec des manuels souvent mais c’est grâce à mes leçons avec Ayako que je peux faire le lien entre tout ce que j’apprends et le mettre en pratique. Elle réponds à mes questions et développe toujours ses réponses et c’est très enrichissant 😊 Ma compréhension du japonais a nettement augmenté mais je dois travailler dur sur l'oral ! C'est un rendez-vous que j’attends toujours avec impatience merci beaucoup pour votre gentillesse アヤコさん♪

Class is always fun and I learn something new each time. Ayako-san is always patient and helps me understand the parts I struggle with. Can’t wait to learn more with her!

Today we had a very interesting class with Ayako-san. We discussed briefly a film festival I attended, inclusive three Japanese movies (btw, whoever reads this, please go and watch Ryuusuke Hamaguchi's "Soudain"), practiced grammar forms and read a new text. Because I had a small break, today I felt very "rusty", but Sensei gave me a lot of encouragement. As usual, I sincerely recommend booking classes with Ayako-sensei.

Another great class. Sensei is so patient which makes each lesson less difficult.

Another very fun lesson with Ayako talking about my phone recently dying on me, how we buy and use these devices until they’re no longer supported, the safety of the areas we live in, and how some people think they’re invincible. After each lesson I always feel happy to not have only learned so much new vocabulary but also to have had such a great conversation with such a wonderful, patient, and kind teacher!
