Mami

Another fun conversation with Mami :) She has a different teaching technique than other tutors I've had. I would say she concentrates on conversational skills and just being able to have a conversation together. She does take notes in the chatbox of skype with the different words I'm struggling with or that she teaches me. After that she explains the word in Japanese-- she definitely doesn't use English and I appreciate that greatly. Compared to six months ago, my conversation skills have improved immensely, and a huge part of this is thanks to Mami.

Mami-san never fails to be engaging and be genuinely interested in our conversation during her lessons. Talking to Mami-san is like talking to a good friend and enjoying it but you're also learning at the same time, which is reallly cool. I'm glad I now able to talk to Mami-san alot more & better in Japanese, compared to our first lesson in September 2018. Definitely looking forward to our next lesson!

Having fun is a huge factor in learning. I think if you don't have fun while learning, it soon becomes a chore and you are more likely to quit. I have great fun talking with Mami, and it motivates me to learn more. Not only knowing that you are understood by the other person, but that they take an interest in what you say, seems pretty special to me. It makes me realize that all the hours spent studying and learning weren't for nothing, that you can communicate your thoughts and ideas to another person that doesn't speak your native language. Thank you, Mami!

So funny how we both encourage each other! xD I submitted my application!! :OO I will 100% let you know how it goes, thank you so much for all your help over the years <3 今はまみさんの番、英語の勉強のこと。笑。

今日も楽しかったです！While the work gradually becomes more challenging, Mami-san ensures the lessons remain enjoyable and stress-free. She also includes various challenges to test speaking/vocabulary that I find incredibly helpful! I truly appreciate the safe and fun learning environment Mami-san has created, and I’m always grateful for her role in motivating me to continue learning and improving. 本当にありがとうございます！

So funny how explaining how my Russian lesson went, that topic just took over our entire lesson LOL. But it was super fun. As always, it's great chatting with you <3 まみさんの次の仕事がましだといいですね！Hope to chat again soon ^^
