TeteTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-16 05:29:16After class I reviewed a bit, and that's how "the beautiful wheels of the car and the iron-containing mud and soil interact with each other, forming a unique deep black color, which is an important core craft of Oshima tsumugi".
-
TouriTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-15 22:45:58Thank you so much for the clear explanations!
-
HoshiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-15 05:23:17During class, I found the explanation of "泥染" (mud dyeing) quite difficult!
-
GyousetsuTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-14 17:43:10I decided to go with NetChai after seeing reviews from other students who had met with Teacher Gyoushō. I applied for a trial lesson, and it turned out exactly as I hoped—Teacher Gyoushō quickly understood what I was looking for and tailored the lesson to my needs, so I decided to enroll. I really appreciate how he includes practical tips and relevant information throughout, which has been incredibly helpful.

MonaTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-12 20:33:06Today, I studied lessons 99 and 100 from "Absolutely Master It! 100 Chinese Sentences" and lessons 1 through 99 from "Frequently Appearing in Daily Conversations! 326 Chinese Sentences." While I felt the vocabulary level became more challenging overall, I'm pushing myself hard to build my vocabulary and become able to speak more fluently!
-
MonaTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-12 20:29:10Today, I finally memorized all the way to the last word of "Absolutely Master It! 100 Chinese Sentences." The material uses a lot of easy-to-understand, commonly-used phrases overall, and I felt my Chinese vocabulary really improved a lot.
-
GyousetsuTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-12 13:02:52I started learning Chinese without understanding anything at all, but the lessons are so easy to follow and I feel like I can keep going!

-

-
TeteTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-09 05:18:35Satsuma cut-work is all handmade. It started in 1850, and then most of it disappeared during the Satsuma Rebellion in 1863. It was restored in 1985, and that's how it is!
-
OuginTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-08 22:01:50Today as well, I had the opportunity to learn about the differences between "了" used with verbs, "了" with measure words, and "了" with adjectives. By teaching me the nuances of these grammatical structures, I'm now able to think about the correct meanings when reading passages or writing compositions. It's really helpful! I look forward to continuing with you!
-
GyousetsuTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-08 07:47:29I've been taking lessons with NetChai for about 10 days since my trial lesson. My teacher uses positive language, and since the lessons are practice-focused, I'm learning in a way that's easy to remember, and my pronunciation is gradually improving. There are moments when things get difficult and I feel like my heart might break, but studying has become really enjoyable. Next year I'm aiming for a trip to China and HSK level 3 or 4, and I'll do my best!

The lessons with this teacher are always so lively and enjoyable—I love learning Chinese in such a vibrant way!
-

KoaTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-03 21:43:37Today, I talked with my teacher about various things - recent happenings, crocodiles, university, and more. Apparently, crocodiles in China are quite large, and there seem to be relatively smaller species as well.
