Emi

どうもありがとう for レッスン 150! Thank you for being a 素晴らしい先生, エミさん! I'm very happy that I found my way to your classroom, almost 2 years ago! All the progress I've made with my Japanese studies has been thanks to you and our 楽しい lessons together. Let's hit 200 before the end of the year! がんばって!

Every lesson with Emi-san is full of laughter and I feel really accomplished when we finish. We are now having bits of conversation in simple Japanese, something I wasn't sure I'd ever been able to do, and it's all thanks to her enthusiasm and niceness that motivates me to keep up studying.

This teacher is really fantastic. She will often point out things that you do that sound non-native, so you can perfect your linguistic ability and sound more like a native Japanese. It is hard to find a teacher that points such things out. I definitely recommend this teacher.

久しぶりにえみと話してよかった。またこんどね

Today’s lesson covered a variety of interesting topics. Emi's approach always makes the lesson both fun and educational. 今日のレッスンはいつも通りとても楽しかったです。えみさん、いつもありがとうございます！次のレッスンを楽しみにしています。

Great lesson with Emi! We reviewed the て form and how to form it using 五段 verbs with various endings. I'm starting to get the hang of it, although there are a bunch of new verbs in this lesson (and I don't remember them all). I told Emi that I would make up some example sentences to help me remember, and she thought it was a good idea. The extra practice we did today was productive, and Emi's lesson feedback was helpful!
