Japanese conversation

Yoko-sensei is a great teacher. She is very patient. She has excellent teaching skills in Japanese. She speaks English fluently. This is the most fun I've had speaking Japanese. I definitely recommend her.

First Japanese Lesson

It was a pleasure meeting Yoko-sensei. I made progress in my first lesson, focusing on conversation in Japanese. I look forward to future lessons.
