Great lesson with Junko! We started with some small talk, which we talked about the weather, going to the gym and work/vacation in the US and Japan. Next, we learned some grammar points about using the て form to connect sentences with two verbs. We also learned about できます to talk about ability. The lesson was interesting and enjoyable!

Great lesson with Junko! We talked about allergies, food and the sakura festival. We also did some reading from the textbook and did a "self-introduction" exercise. We also did some listening to accompany the reading, which was useful. It was fun to talk about hobbies with Junko!

Great lesson with Junko! We started with some small talk about the cold weather and snow in Japan. We also talked about home appliances. Then we looked at the textbook. We read a dialog, did a listening exercise and started the "staff introduction". It was a fun lesson and interesting to hear about life in Japan!

Great lesson with Junko! We started with some small talk. Then we continued to learn about hobbies using the ~ることです and るのが好きですconstruction. Junko helped me in the reading when we encountered a word/kanji that I didn't know (the book did not always have furigana). The lesson was fun and I enjoyed learning with Junko!

Great lesson with Junko! We started with small talk. Junko is looking forward to the sakura festival. We looked at the book for the second half of class. I learned some new words, like the word for flower arranging. It was fun to learn about Japanese culture and traditions with Junko!

Great lesson with Junko! We started with a small talk about Sakura festival in US and Japan. Then we read a dialog from the textbook. There was some new vocabulary, which Junko explained to me. The lesson was fun and it was good to practice reading!
