I received feedback that my Japanese studying wasn’t progressing as much as it could because my opportunities to speak it outloud were limited. I’ve been part of Chika Sensei’s other classes and love her kindness and support–she’s really fast at giving good feedback. Very helpful. When I spend time with my tutor now I spend far more of our sessions speaking out loud and am finding the words and pronunciations far faster. I have so much more enjoyment from my studies. It’s challenging because it’s easy to be self-conscious when trying something different but the daily practice has been so helpful. I look forward to more study of this sort with her. Thank you Sensei!
