Mika-sensei's 25-minute beginner Japanese lesson is just the right length to avoid feeling overwhelmed but also to make solid progress. I've been taking this lesson weekly for the past few months and have noticed a huge improvement in my Japanese speaking skill and confidence. The lesson pack offers excellent value for those who are serious learners.
I'm always impressed by Mika-sensei's warmth and her gentle, friendly manner, which makes me feel comfortable and at ease. She patiently waits for me to answer whenever I am stuck, which I appreciate so much!
On top of all this, she uses excellent materials that allow me to practice new grammar points thoroughly, and to work at a steady pace. She also has a great ear, always bringing my attention to mistakes not only in my grammar but also my pronunciation - which is hugely important for an English learner of Japanese like me.
Thank you Mika-sensei, I appreciate you so much and I look forward to many more lessons together!
I got stable and great lessons from her. My English has areas to improve a lot but from the way to speak to grammar contents, she perfectly and clearly teaches me. Can't thank enough.
I only started with this lesson recently, but the first session already motivated me a lot and made me want to keep studying with Lissa moving forward. She made the material for this lesson herself, and even adapts it to each student - including personalized audio material!
If you are a French language beginner, or someone like myself who hasn't studied French in a long time and needs a refresher, this lesson is great for you!
このレッスンを始めたばかりですが、最初のセッションですでにやる気が湧き、今後もLissa先生と学び続けたいと思いました。Lissa先生はこのレッスンの教材を自ら作成し、生徒一人ひとりに合わせて調整してくれます。個人用の音声教材まで用意してくれるんです!
フランス語の初心者の方や、私のように長い間フランス語を勉強していなくて復習が必要な方には、このレッスンがぴったりだと思います!
