    I highly recommend NetChai for anyone who wants to seriously improve their pronunciation. Teacher Asaki is very patient and carefully corrects your pronunciation without any compromise.

    Thank you so much for the summary of the lesson content, sensei. Actually, the name of that garden is "Senyen Garden," and I'm really sorry that my pronunciation wasn't good!

    Today, you taught me the proper usage of 正好. It means "just right" or "at just the right moment," and can be used with round numbers like 10, 20, 100, etc. When I suddenly found myself in a fortunate situation that I wasn't expecting, or when my clothing fit perfectly, you taught me practical phrases that would actually come in handy during Chinese conversations—phrases I would struggle with if I didn't know them. Thank you so much.

    Not only did the tutor teach me Chinese, but they also showed me how to use the app beforehand, which was incredibly helpful! They told me "whenever you don't understand something in the future, please reach out anytime," and they're truly a very encouraging teacher! I'm really grateful for their constant support.

    She is a very good teacher, but since it's a free talk lesson, I wish she would intentionally create more speaking time for the learner.

    Today, I studied lessons 49-55 from "100 Must-Learn Chinese Sentences!". Chinese characters I've seen before appeared in the material, and I also discussed with my tutor some episodes that have slight connections to those words.

    I thought the Chinese language taught was as beautiful as a listening comprehension textbook. When I asked about study methods for Chinese, the teacher taught me with great enthusiasm. (With recommended funny short videos and movies, etc.) The explanations were easy to understand, and I think the teacher is someone with genuine passion. I would like to continue taking lessons next time as well.

    Today, I studied lessons 41-48 from "Absolutely Master It! 100 Chinese Sentences." When the teacher talked about topics related to four-character idioms in a way that felt close to my everyday life, they connected the conversation to the next idiom, which made it really easy to remember.

    Today, I studied lessons 41-48 from "Definitely Master It! 100 Chinese Sentences." I was curious about how to say "famous person" in Chinese, so I asked about how Michael Jackson would be expressed in Chinese, and the tutor gave me a really long and difficult explanation.

    I watched an episode of "A Certain Magical Index." The scene with a flying bird that appears in the second episode is a tribute to director John Woo. I could barely explain this in Chinese. But I did manage to learn the word for "pigeon." Thank you so much.

    We discussed an HSK exam question about "Why is the night sky dark?" as a teaching material. There was also a part in the story that involved chemistry elements, and I was able to reach the top of my Chinese vocabulary list.

    In class, I learned a new vocabulary word, "那不勒斯 (Nà bù lè sī)", and I think the Taiwanese pronunciation "拿坡里 (Ná pō lǐ)" is actually closer to the Japanese pronunciation!

    My Japanese was going well, but since it was a free trial, I couldn't really tell what it was about, and it didn't feel very personal to me. It wasn't a good fit for me.
