AKI HAPPY

My weekly Happy Conversation lessons with Aki Sensei have become a really important part of my study routine. It’s funny how it works - on any given week I often feel like I’m struggling but I can look back to a few months ago and see how much progress I’ve made. Her infinite patience with my clumsy Japanese is much appreciated, and she always gives me enough time to work out what I want to say. She is clearly a gifted and experienced teacher and I’m really glad I found her on this site!

Today was the first lesson with Aki sensei, it was a great lesson! She prepared cards with different topics, such as: - If you could tell something to all people on the Earth, what it would be? - If you have a chance, would you go to the Mars? - What book made the biggest impression on you? I think its a great way to make lesson, every time we can pick different themes and discuss it. Your Japanese level will be improved much faster if you will speak on different themes everytime, in this way you can broad you vocabulary, and also you can heard what Sensei thinks about that, which is very interesting as we all have totally different backgrounds, and that that we can talk about anything online while studing language its just great. Thank you Aki-sensei, looking forward to the next lesson with you!

We had a fun lesson with Aki Sensei and my daughter was ready and motivated tonight. We did a mini show and tell since my daughter wanted to show off her koinobori origami and her new books from the Japanese library. We practiced our 1-7 song, our hiragana ta-gyo, and practiced writing hiragana to. We got to learn about Aki Sensei's family and got to practice counting people.

Aki-Sensei is an excellent teacher. She is attentive to the student and makes the lesson fun and engaging. She also made sure to communicate very well before the day of lesson to get to know a little about my daughter and made the lesson fun for her. Thank you so much! If you book with this teacher, you will not be disappointed! We will book again.

My 4 year old really enjoyed her lesson with Aki-sensei! She was energetic, engaging and had lots of fun activities planned that kept my daughter engaged for the whole lesson. We are excited for our next lesson!

Aki Sensei, thank you for another great lesson today! Today’s theme seemed to be about bags (by pure chance 😂) and it was fun to pull the different conversation topics together. I’ve been taking weekly lessons for well over a year, but we never run out of interesting topics and every time is fun and challenging! As always I continue to have good and bad days with my skills (verb conjugation was a struggle today, sigh) but I can tell that my overall level continues to improve thanks to Aki Sensei 😃
