I’ve been taking lessons with Sato-san for just about a year now. I regularly look back and am surprised by how far I’ve come. Even though I’ve had to slow down at periods due to work, I feel as though I am always making progress. Working through Sato-san’s curriculum has really built a strong foundation, and now that I’m further along, things “click-together” in a way that helps me get a stronger understanding of grammar/sentence structure.
As I advance, we spend more time talking about how words relate to each other, and nuances between when different words are used, invaluable information that cannot be learned from most online resources. Sato-san brings out humor to make lessons enjoyable and memorable, and is always patient when I am tired. When I have busy periods at work, we shift to focus on review, and when there’s something interesting in the world we explore in detail, so I can better tie language to real events. I look forward to another wonderful year.
