I have been studying Japanese using Genki and other learning materials for some time but none of these has come close to helping me to develop everyday language skills in terms of speaking and listening. Conversational Japanese is so very different to the more formal language found in textbooks.
I am enjoying very much the Conversational Japanese course with Chika Sensei. The course is well structured with a new and interesting topic being covered every day. I have found that it is quite easy to fit these short sessions into my daily routine.
Chika Sensei provides valuable daily feedback and corrects my mistakes in a very supportive way. It’s like having a personal language teacher with me every day! Thanks to my teacher I have become aware that my Japanese speaking skills have noticeably improved in a short period of time. I feel that my conversational ability is growing and by the time I go to Japan next March I think I shall be able to hold conversations with Japanese people with confidence.
I like my teacher’s friendly and supportive approach as she accompanies me on this journey in conversational Japanese. I am looking forward to enrolling on the intermediate course at a later stage.
