    Today's lesson was extremely thorough and really helpful for me. I feel well-prepared for the interview now. I'm sorry to say this, but I had originally booked your class for tomorrow as well. However, because today's instruction was so comprehensive, I've already practiced all the material I needed to prepare. So I'm planning to cancel tomorrow's booking and review on my own instead. Thank you so much again!

    Today, I studied lessons 85-90 from "Absolutely Master It! 100 Chinese Sentences." When I came across the phrase "よく似ている" (looks very similar), I showed the teacher some anime characters that look very similar between Japan and China, and the teacher was amazed.

    MochiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-08-23 15:27:37

    Today I continued my study of four-character idioms. When I first encountered the idiom "胸有成竹" (xiōng yǒu chéng zhú), I asked my teacher, "Does this mean the bamboo is piercing through...?" My teacher laughed and kindly taught me the correct meaning.

    Today I studied "also・even・still." It wasn't in the textbook, but the tutor taught me how to use "lack・not" together with these characters, and even explained the nuances and differences between them. I was so moved to finally get clear answers to questions I've been wondering about until now!

  • Arin
    ArinTutor ★★★★★ 2026-08-20 05:22:45

    Thank you so much for guiding me through the difficult pronunciation. Thanks to Sakiko-sensei's teaching method, I've finally started to get the hang of the r-sound. I was really encouraged when you told me that my pronunciation of j, q, and g sounds is close enough to Japanese pronunciation and that's okay - it made learning feel so much easier. I'm looking forward to your continued guidance!
