Prince Marquezoct 13, 2025Today, I had my first 50-minuter formal class with Yumiko and I was really nervous about it but she was very patient and diligent in explaining and correcting my grammar, speaking and definition of words. Even though how many times it takes she makes sure that I understand before moving forward. She also tries different explanation method until I am able to understand. For example is the usage of ćć§ćļ¼ćŖćć§ć, I have learned this grammar point months ago but she pointed out when and when not to use it. Iām looking forward to more classes with her.
MIKMIK (NikoRico)oct 10, 2025First lesson was to set expectations , i told my knowledge and we set up a plan to learn japanese. I feel confident in Yumiko teachings and looking forward the next class.
