This really becomes vocabulary and grammar under fire. Domo Arigato, Chieko-san Lesson #4 I am learning so much about Japanese culture along with grammar and vocabulary. I have many books that touch on these aspects of life in Japan, but not to the degree that Chieko-san shares with me each meeting. I look forward to each lesson. Domo arigato, Chieko-san! Lesson #5 We re-organized my study plan, as my daily activities sometimes get in the way these days.
Dianne K.

11 Vocabulary lessons

On the first day, Nathalie asked me what I wanted to concentrate on, and I told her: my appalling French accent, my sparse vocabulary, and my poor grammar. With great patience and professionalism, Nathalie corrects my pronunciation and enriches my vocabulary throughout the lesson. Her knowledge of French grammar is complete; equally important, she knows how to explain grammar points clearly and succinctly.

Samuel is punctual and professional, and has not missed any sessions we have agreed on. He also gives me extra tips and guidance on how to work with my daughter. AND he keeps a blog that is very interesting and useful. As a person, Samuel is a very interesting conversationalist as he has traveled to many places, lived abroad, and has taken interests in various cultures. I highly recommend Samuel, especially if you are interested to increase your vocabulary and enjoy creative writing.
