Ellie 〈Eri えり〉

今日のレッスンは楽しかったです！今日こそ、自然な会話ができるようになったと感じました。文法や発音など勘違いがあっても、恥ずかしくなく話していました。えり先生のおかげで自信がつきました。この数ヶ月間で、日本語をどんどん理解するようになり、もっとペラペラに話せるようになりました。ぜひレッスンを取り続けるつもりです！

Eri-sensei has been such a great tutor for me. The more I talk with her, the more confident I feel in my ability to comprehend Japanese. Even when I have moments where I can't think of whatever word I want to use, she gives me all the time I need to try and find that word. She's been a really big help in offering me more natural phrases and teaching me what vocabulary is more common in regular, spoken language compared to more formal or written language. I also really appreciate her correcting my common mistakes, which has been really useful in not only improving my grammar, but also bettering my understanding of the language. I plan to keep taking lessons with her and continue practicing grammar that I don't use very often. I know I still have a lot of improvement to do, but I feel like I've made great strides already with Eri-sensei's help!

さすがえり先生！she makes her own lesson material and I think she should publish it. Seriously, I've been self studying for 4 years and tried so many different books and online resources. Her material is so helpful and interesting! Conversations are natural and fun and I learn so much every time!

レッスンはいつも勉強になります！最近、文法を練習したりフリートークをしたりしてもらったから、対話が自然になると感じます。全部のニュアンスが聞きとれることも、早く返事をできることもまだまだだけど、私は楽にできるようになりました！

I just had my first lesson with Eri, and she is wonderful, very kind, and very patient. I found Eri to be helpful and encouraging as I struggled through the grammar.

I really enjoy every lesson. They are very engaging, and sometimes pretty hard, but Eri-sensei is very patient and supportive :)
