HoshiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-10-06 05:36:53The generals of the Aizawa Shogunate did not personally plant the cedar trees, but instead dispatched trusted subordinates to plant them on their behalf.

MachiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-10-04 10:51:50Thank you so much for today!
-
ArinTutor ★★★★★ 2026-10-01 05:13:58After reviewing, Takayama is considered the sacred domain of Shinmei, and every household in the local area hangs straw ropes throughout the year, forming a unique cultural tradition.

KikiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-30 22:48:31Kind and gentle
-
GyousetsuTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-30 22:08:46My child really loves the teacher. Under the teacher's gentle and patient teaching method, my child has become interested in learning Chinese.
-
AsakiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-30 19:36:03I had a great time talking with you today as always. Thank you so much for everything.
-
GyousetsuTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-30 12:00:05Today's lesson was about "的". You taught me lots of useful phrases that I can use in my daily life. I'm looking forward to actually using them! Thank you so much!!
-
TeteTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-30 05:16:55The teacher is absolutely right! While Takachihone's topics aren't always about Takachiho or clouds, the content I want to discuss is this: 'Takachihone is regarded as a sacred domain where gods constantly reside. Local families hang votive ropes throughout the year, forming a unique cultural tradition.' NetChai makes learning these fascinating cultural nuances so natural and engaging.
-
SourenTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-29 20:59:05I was able to deepen my understanding by having the teacher correct phrases I often heard and used during my trip to China.
-
OuginTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-29 20:33:24Today we continued with resultative complements. There are so many resultative complements to memorize, which is challenging, but I really appreciated how you explained the subtle nuances! We also talked about food and actors, and I had such a great time today! I'm looking forward to our next lesson. ♪
-
HoshiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-29 05:18:28The internet connection during class wasn't great, but it was okay at the beginning and end!
-
KikiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-28 22:14:17I really like the fun and cheerful atmosphere.
-

-
AsakiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-28 20:51:32I had a great time with today's lesson as well. Thank you so much.
-
OuginTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-28 20:47:46Today I learned the continuation of resultative complements. I learned so many expressions just in this one lesson - the differences between 听懂, 没听懂 and 听不懂, between 看 and 看见, as well as 听见, 吃完, 看完, 做完, 说错, 说对... It was a very meaningful hour! Thank you so much, teacher!
-
KoaTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-28 02:52:09I forgot about威士忌. Thank you so much.
-
IzumiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-28 02:50:00I was nervous, but it went away. Thank you so much.
-
MikikoTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-28 02:48:01There are always many unexpected things in life. The tutors at NetChai are truly authentic Chinese natives who teach with genuine worldly wisdom. Thank you so much.
-
MochiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-27 21:06:25Today, I studied No.16 through No.21 from "Common Phrases in Daily Conversation! 326 Chinese Sentences." I learned the meanings of words I had heard before, and finally understood what my conversation partner was talking about at that time.
-
MochiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-27 21:02:57Today as well, I learned fluent Chinese while discussing recent events and past experiences, and picked up new vocabulary. I was able to learn words in a fun way, and before I knew it, the lesson time had come to an end.
-
GyousetsuTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-27 20:30:54It was so much fun to take the teacher's lesson after such a long time! Thank you so much for always encouraging me. I look forward to working with you going forward!
-
YonaTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-26 05:06:45In the lesson, I learned about Chinese mythology, specifically "Kuafu Chasing the Sun" and "Nüwa Mending the Sky".
-
MachiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-25 21:52:33Thank you so much for today's enjoyable lesson.
-
UsagiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-25 13:16:40She is kind and patient with me.
-
MuteiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-25 05:23:28Baseball teams hold training camps in warm locations during the cold months of February and March. The popular places in Japan for this are Okinawa Prefecture and Miyazaki Prefecture!
-
MonaTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-24 21:41:56When I mentioned that I wanted to take the HSK exam, the tutor was so kind and supportive. I'm really grateful for that. I'll do my best so I can pass!!
-
OuginTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-24 20:49:13Today's lesson was great. Teacher Wang teaches so well! I want to become better at speaking Chinese!
-
NatsukiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-24 11:48:01The lessons were so much fun that I couldn't stop laughing the whole time. She is a teacher with a very high level of skill.
-
ArinTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-24 05:06:42In class, I learned about a representative Chinese myth, which is the "Legend of the White Snake".
-

-
UsagiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-23 22:54:09Very kind and gentle
-
GyousetsuTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-23 20:37:27It was so much fun! Thank you very much. I really appreciate that you taught me carefully, so I'm going to keep working hard on my pronunciation practice. I look forward to our next lesson.
-
OuginTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-23 20:32:20Today we continued with "比" (comparison). Comparisons are expressions with many difficult nuances, but the tutor explained each character thoroughly and even taught me more advanced ways to express these ideas. It was a very fulfilling lesson!
-
RikuTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-23 11:23:22Dear teacher, I have been taking lessons continuously with you recently.
-
OuginTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-22 20:36:18Today I had a "比" lesson. Please always provide grammar explanations that go beyond what's in the textbook. This time, you taught me that "A没有B…" can be expressed as "A does not reach B," and I was amazed at the subtlety of the Japanese language!
-
TeteTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-22 18:52:20I'm sorry! I made a mistake with the time!
-
YuinaTutor ★☆☆☆☆ 2026-09-22 11:12:50The tutor appeared only slightly at first, but then disappeared completely.
-
HoshiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-22 05:17:26During the lesson, I learned a new vocabulary word, which is "training camp".
-
IzumiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-21 19:36:44Thank you
-
MikikoTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-21 19:36:24Thank you
-
AsakiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-21 01:25:33Thank you so much for always making lessons fun and enjoyable with a smile on your face!! I really appreciate you taking the time to carefully correct my pronunciation!!
-
MachiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-20 10:52:24Thank you so much for today!
-
MariTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-19 22:57:48My voice was hard to hear and I was a bit worried, but the teacher was always clear and very kind. I'm looking forward to booking the next lesson.
-
MochiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-19 16:04:41Today I studied lessons 10-15 from "Common Everyday Conversations! 326 Chinese Sentences." So many new words keep appearing, and I'm really enjoying learning through them.
-
MochiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-19 16:01:33Today I studied vocabulary with my teacher while having a casual conversation. Since I can connect the words to things I've actually experienced myself, it's really easy to remember them.
-
MikikoTutor ★★★★☆ 2026-09-19 09:33:54She's a good teacher, but she has some issues. The biggest concern is that she's always looking at her phone and not concentrating on the lesson. We can tell from our end. She talks a lot about what she wants to talk about. If we don't interrupt and steer the conversation, we just end up listening the whole time. She gets emotionally invested, so our intentions don't come across, and we often get swept along by the natural flow of her one-sided conversation. If we use textbooks or take the initiative to lead the lesson with a clear purpose, she has such rich knowledge and experience that I think we can have meaningful lessons!
-
YonaTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-19 05:14:42I learned in class that "紬" (tsumugi) means "rough silk"!
-
OuginTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-18 19:32:38Today I learned about "快~了" (kuài~le). The teacher always gives detailed explanations of grammar, and then has me practice writing sentences using that grammar. When I think about other sentences, I can apply what I've learned and it really helps my studies. I look forward to continuing with you!
-
ArinTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-18 05:35:32I learned many new vocabulary words during the lesson, such as "补贴" (subsidy), "牢固" (solid/firm), "染色" (dyeing), and so on.
-
GyousetsuTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-17 08:59:52Thank you for patiently teaching me even through the difficult parts! I really appreciate it!
