    The generals of the Aizawa Shogunate did not personally plant the cedar trees, but instead dispatched trusted subordinates to plant them on their behalf.

    After 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.

    Kind and gentle

  • Gyousetsu

    My child really loves the teacher. Under the teacher's gentle and patient teaching method, my child has become interested in learning Chinese.

  • Gyousetsu
    GyousetsuTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-30 12:00:05

    Today'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!!

  • Tete
    TeteTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-30 05:16:55

    The 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.

  • Souren
    SourenTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-29 20:59:05

    I was able to deepen my understanding by having the teacher correct phrases I often heard and used during my trip to China.

  • Ougin
    OuginTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-29 20:33:24

    Today 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. ♪

  • Ougin
    OuginTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-28 20:47:46

    Today 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!

  • Mochi
    MochiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-27 21:06:25

    Today, 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.

  • Mochi
    MochiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-27 21:02:57

    Today 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.

  • Gyousetsu
    GyousetsuTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-27 20:30:54

    It 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!

  • Yona
    YonaTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-26 05:06:45

    In the lesson, I learned about Chinese mythology, specifically "Kuafu Chasing the Sun" and "Nüwa Mending the Sky".

    Baseball 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!

    When 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!!

    It 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.

  • Ougin
    OuginTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-23 20:32:20

    Today 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!

  • Riku
    RikuTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-23 11:23:22

    Dear teacher, I have been taking lessons continuously with you recently.

  • Ougin
    OuginTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-22 20:36:18

    Today 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!

  • Tete
    TeteTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-22 18:52:20

    I'm sorry! I made a mistake with the time!

    The tutor appeared only slightly at first, but then disappeared completely.

  • Hoshi
    HoshiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-22 05:17:26

    During the lesson, I learned a new vocabulary word, which is "training camp".

    My 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.

  • Mochi
    MochiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-19 16:04:41

    Today 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.

  • Mochi
    MochiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-19 16:01:33

    Today 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.

  • Mikiko
    MikikoTutor ★★★★☆ 2026-09-19 09:33:54

    She'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!

  • Yona
    YonaTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-19 05:14:42

    I learned in class that "紬" (tsumugi) means "rough silk"!

  • Ougin
    OuginTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-18 19:32:38

    Today 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!

  • Arin
    ArinTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-18 05:35:32

    I learned many new vocabulary words during the lesson, such as "补贴" (subsidy), "牢固" (solid/firm), "染色" (dyeing), and so on.

  • Gyousetsu
    GyousetsuTutor ★★★★★ 2026-09-17 08:59:52

    Thank you for patiently teaching me even through the difficult parts! I really appreciate it!
