Had another nice conversation with Rai. He’s patient with my mistakes and guides me when I’m stuck.

Excellent first lesson with Ray-San, especially for me as a beginner. I felt like the methodology was clear and with some encouragement I felt very comfortable. Thank you! 🙏🏽

とても面白いお話をありがとうございました！ただ、私にとっては今回のレッスンの内容がちょっと簡単だったかもしれません。もう少しストラクチャーを入れたり、難しい語彙や表現を増やしたりしていただけると嬉しいです。

I had a very good lesson with teacher Ray. He was funny, patient, and very experienced. I felt very comfortable practicing my limited Japanese with him.
