It’s really nice and enjoyable to take this course. My previous Japanese lessons in my hometown often lack conversation practice, which makes it difficult for me to hear Japanese being spoken and reply immediately; I usually need to think a lot about how to pronounce words accurately or which words to be used. Chika-sensei’s course feels like having a one-on-one personal teacher, which is truly amazing. She not only helps me correct mistakes I’ve been making for a long time but also assists me in pronouncing words more like a native Japanese speaker. I especially appreciate her feedback method, both in voice and written form, as it really helps me practice listening and reading. Additionally, it allows me to maintain my momentum in learning Japanese from day to day or every couple of days. A 10-minute conversation per day sounds easy to achieve, but there’s a lot of grammar and new vocabulary I can learn from it! I’m looking forward to the rest of my course and continuing this journey with Chika-sensei :))
