Another fun lesson with Ako-Sensei! Today, we continued with Quartet and are now past the halfway mark; I can't wait to go through the rest of it with her. Since the nuances of the grammar we are learning are becoming more subtle, it can be hard to know the differences between them, but Sensei is able to answer any questions I have and clear up and doubts! Thank You Sensei!

I was very nervous before the lesson, but Ako made it very easy and fun! She celebrated every time when I was able to understand her and answered her question. I think she is a great teacher and I will keep following her!

Another great lesson with Ako Sensei. Today she introduced a new section to our lesson where we go over some more casual and everyday Japanese that textbooks don't usually cover which I think is very useful. Thank You Ako Sensei

I learned a lot in today's lesson! The class had a great balance of structure and natural conversation, which made it easy to understand the grammar and also see how it's used in real situations. I learned the difference between a few grammar rules and we talked about the holidays! Ako-sensei explained everything clearly, gave helpful examples, and made me feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. I felt relaxed and supported throughout the lesson, and I really appreciated the positive and encouraging atmosphere as usual! After this lesson, I feel like I understand the material better and know that she is a great fit for me. I'm excited to continue studying and looking forward to our next lesson in the new year! I can't wait!

I have now had over 50 lessons with Ako Sensei and each one has been enjoyable and a great way to learn Japanese. Ako Sensei has put a lot of effort into her lesson structure to suit my needs so we do a nice mix of free talk and textbook study. I am also enjoying the casual Japanese segement she has introduced to help me learn phrases that textbooks don't often teach. I highly recommend learning with Ako Sensei!

Today was another fun lesson with Sensei. We were talking about my recent holiday to America and because of my lessons with her, I was able to explain my trip to her in Japanese. Thank you Sensei!
