🌸Marika🌸

I really enjoyed the lesson. I decently was nervous, but Marika was very calm, which made it easy for me to focus on the lesson. I really felt like I was starting to gain an understanding of the material. I appreciate her teaching style, and I would recommend taking at least one lesson.

Mari is a great teacher. She is patient and provides good examples for how Japanese is in real life situations. I've learned so much and have been learning for several months. Thank you Mari!!!

I lived in Japan for a long time but haven't used Japanese in years. Marika was very pleasant to speak with and asked a lot of questions to keep the conversation going.

She was helpful but there were many awkward moments where we were just staring at each other. I wanted someone to have conversation practice with but also some sort of structured content to avoid the awkwardness. Perhaps if I had attended a structured class my encounter would have been different? But she was very nice and helpful

マリカ先生、今日も楽しかったです。いろんな言葉を覚えました。お久しぶり会いましたがいつも通り良い時間を過ごしました。行ってくれた事は応援してくれます。またお会い出来るのを楽しみにしています。😊

I had reached a plateau in my Japanese studies, so I began weekly Japanese lessons with Marika in November 2024. Right now, she is helping me improve my reading comprehension by studying news articles. Since I started lessons with Marika, I am retaining information much better. Also, I'm having fun and my motivation is higher! I highly recommend Marika.
