It was great to see you again Shino Sensei! Thanks again for going over the Te form with me, as well as moiidesu and tewaikemasen and kara. Thought it was a bit hard for me to figure out how to properly uses those phrases in full sentences, I shall continue studying until I can say it all on my own naturally. Happy New Year Shino San! Hope you get a Switch 2 so you can enjoy the Final Fantasy 7 Remake!!!

Shino sensei and I had an educational and fun conversation about what we like and what we don’t like. It also helped me pick up on more Japanese words and what they mean. I really hope to visit Japan again very soon and experience more wonderful things Shino San!!!

Shino sensei is fantastic! She guides me with the use of the Genki textbook, which I also use for studying on days I don't have lessons. We also have fun conversing as we go over the lessons, whether it's about Japan or common interests. Overall, I truly feel like I'm improving with learning the japanese language with every lesson I have with Shino sensei!!!

In our lesson, Shino sensei taught me how to speak Japanese sentences using the Te form of words. I admit, this one was really tough, but I feel like if I were to practice more with speaking Japanese in conversations than studying it in the Genki textbook, I’ll get better at it that way.

Today, Shino sensei and I went over I adjectives and Na adjectives. Both affirmative and negative forms as well as present and past tense forms for those adjectives and how to properly use them in sentences. Totally something new for me to learn and practice until my next lesson.

Thank you for another fun lesson Shino sensei. Since I’ve gotten the hang of pronouncing the different characters, I’m feeling ready to speak more sentences in Japanese! I’m well aware I may make mistakes the first several to many tries, but with your help I should be able to get it down in time and speak full sentences in Japanese more fluently as well as confidently. You’re a wonderful teacher and I appreciate your lessons very much!!!
