I’m really happy that you ask me to explain again when something is not clear. Memorizing verb forms is very hard, but let’s practice and learn them step by step. I’m looking forward to our lesson next week!
Hello Adam san, Thank you for taking a class with me! We learned question form and answer the questions. You did great answering them. Please keep the good work! Have a wonderful rest of the day. ありがとうございました！ Ayako
In the listening section, if the questions contain slightly confusing expressions, it's easy to get the answer wrong. It's difficult to quickly judge and answer, but it's a good idea to check expressions that are easy to get wrong.
You also completed most of the vocabulary practice exercises. We've resumed vocabulary study after a long time. Let's keep working hard from now on;)
