Taka∞

Today marked my 100th lesson with Taka! 100 lessons, 100 (ish) weeks, two years of learning. I've come a long way in my Japanese learning journey, from barely reading kana to (hopefully) passing the JLPT N1 in 2024. Much of my success is thanks to Taka. Language learning is not the result of some secret gene or technique; it is the result of consistency, patience, and learning from your mistakes. Taka makes all three of those pillars easy! Consistency is trivial when the teacher can make teaching fun, casual, and engaging. I wouldn't keep coming back without a reason to! Taka shows incredible patience in teaching and conversing, letting mistakes happen and explaining what went wrong, rather than rolling his eyes or growing annoyed. Finally, as last said, Taka lets the mistakes happen so the student can recognize, reflect, and remedy those mistakes. A great way to bring in the new year and christen the next 100 lessons I say!

I've been studying 5 days a week for the past few months with Taka-sensei. Every lesson we have fun and interesting conversations during which Taka-sensei teaches me how to express myself naturally. In my opinion Taka-sensei has an outstanding talent for leading a conversation and coming up with interesting topics to talk about, as well as leading his students to come up with interesting things to talk about. Even after a hundred lessons we are not running out of things to talk about and I can continue to improve my speaking skills while having nice conversations. Taka-sensei is an open-minded guy with an international mindset, so you can feel free to talk about anything that comes to mind or that you take an interest in and feel like sharing. During my time in Japan he recommended me a lot of interesting places to go and foods to try, so if your traveling to Japan, try to talk to him about the things your interested in. Taka-sensiこれからもよろしくお願いします。

I had a great lesson! Taka-Sensei helped me set clear goals for my Japanese learning journey, They were also very patient in helping me with my pronunciation, giving me useful tips to improve. I’m looking forward to our next lesson!

タカ先生 is honestly the best. He is so easy to talk to and it makes every lesson just fly by. I've been doing 5 lessons a week with Taka for some time now and it makes Japanese learning feel so natural. I've learned a ton of actual conversational Japanese rather than what I learned from reading textbooks like Genki. Can't say enough good things, its just an all around good experience. Fully plan on continuing the rest of my Japanese journey with Taka. 相変わらずありがとうございます。来週の授業を楽しみにしています。

Taka is a great teacher who creates a relaxed and enjoyable learning environment. He knows how to let you express yourself while stepping in at the right moment to guide, correct, or suggest a more natural way to phrase things. I always look forward to our sessions, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to make Japanese learning both fun and effective. いつもありがとうございます😊🙏🏾

Taka老师的课程氛围轻松愉快，加深了我对仙台的认识，期待下次再去那旅游。后续希望通过聊天也能够了解一下老师的家乡，顺带提升口语能力，更加自然地说好日语。
