Garret S.

132 Japanese lessons

Most teachers of Japanese do know grammar; the problem (or least it's a problem for me) is that they often have little actual interest in their own country's literature/culture/art. Therefore they rely on textbooks or supposedly relevant financial pages from Japanese newspapers. "Tsumararai desu ne." (Boring!)
LeBrie R.

3 Japanese lessons

Yuko has a great tutoring style. She has a wonderful sense of humor, and deep knowledge of Japanese language and culture. We especially appreciated her insights about Japanese idioms. We are intermediate level adult students and Yuko made us feel like we can converse! I look forward to learning more from her.

Ms Akiko-san is very knowledgeable and patient with me. I learned not only the Romanji, Katakana and Hitagana way of Japanese vocabulary but also the Kanji way. She even went to translate the whole paragraph of Kiitagana into Kanji-based one for me to know the normal Japanese-way of writing.
