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♪

今日のレッスンは楽しかったです．あやこーさんはいいせんせいです！たくさん学んでいます．次のレッスンは楽しいです！🤗

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.

今日のレッスンはたのしかったです。いくつかのれんしゅうのしつもんはちょっとむずかしかった。でもいいしつもんでした。あやこさんはとてもよい先生．次のレッスンは楽します。

Today’s lesson was a lot of fun! Ayako-San is really helping me prepare and understand questions and readings that I’ll need for the jlpt. She’s also very patient when I’m having silly forgetful moments!
