Rui

Just finished a fun trial lesson with Rui. We free talked about all sorts of topics. I booked same day lesson without issue. Rui was very calm and easy to talk to so my nerves that always build before a lesson were quickly calmed. Felt like I was chatting with a friend. My main goal with iTalki for the moment is just practicing listening and speaking to build vocabulary and knowledge around my interests as I'd like to make friends while in Japan with people that share similar interests. This lesson aligned well with that. Will plan to book another lesson with Rui.

Rui is nice. We went through a couple of phrases, most of which I already knew but if I was starting from the beginning, it probably would've helped. I look forward to the next lesson.

Rui san was excellent!

Rui先生との会話楽しかったです。とても話しやすい雰囲気でした。コンビニの例にもいろいろ勉強になりました。

Rui-sensei is very patient. He also gives me the different options on how to say certain phrases, such as which will be more casual, which you will never hear, etc. We are working through the Genki textbook and I like being able to read the dialogue given in the textbook and then Rui-sensei telling me that this or that phrase is super useful and helpful. Makes the textbook seem more real.

Rui-sensei is very understanding and patient. When talking about new grammar points, he asks to make sentences on my own and then guides or correct where needed. This helps a little with my speaking ability.
