Sayumi

Today, we talked about my trip home and where I go for food. The food isn't necessarily nostalgic, but is very tasty!

Sayumi sensee is wonderful ❤️ she’s excellent at instructing me throughout the lessons and she also makes them fun. Anytime I struggle to understand her instructions, Sayumi remains kind and patient with me and she’ll explain the lesson more thoroughly until I’m able to understand her instructions, and I find that very helpful considering I have a learning disability. The way she teaches motivates me to study the Japanese language harder and with more confidence. Should any of my family or friends wish to join italki to learn the Japanese language, you can bet Sayumi sensee will be my first recommendation 🥰

Today, we discussed dialects and languages. We talked about the dialects in Japan and the creole language, Pidgin, in Hawaii.

We discussed the different things we do while exercising. We also talked about the Genki workbooks and how mine finally arrived.

We discussed Studio Ghibli and the difficulty of acquiring tickets. Sayumi-san found a good reference explaining the difference between なら and たら. We then finished up the practice exercises for Lesson 15 in Genki 2. Thank you for all the help!

We talked about my trip to Oahu and Ala Moana. Sayumi-san recognized Ala Moana from her trip to Oahu in the past. We then discussed different places to eat in Waikiki.
