Thank you for your hard work in today’s lesson. I know today was a very special and busy day for you with your son’s stage audition. Thank you so much for taking the time to join the lesson despite your hectic schedule. Thanks to your son, we were able to talk about our families for the first time today. We significantly shifted our original plan to cover Lesson 11, focusing on the distinction between "物があります" (there is a thing) and "人がいます" (there is a person). You did a great job practicing phrases like "私には２人息子がいます" (I have two sons). I always feel that talking about family helps us understand each other on a deeper level and brings us closer. Today’s lesson was truly emotional and enjoyable—it was absolutely wonderful. Your self-introduction is also getting better and more polished every time. I am already looking forward to our next session! We will meet again next week at the same place: Makeup Room, Zoom 58. See you next week!
Thank you so much for joining the trial lesson today. I was amazed by your passion for Japan! Your expressions, the atmosphere, and your room—which looked just like a professional recording studio—truly radiated your love for the country. Thank you for showing me your collection; it is clear that you have a genuine love for the world of Japanese anime, and it made me so happy to see that. You have already visited Japan twice in the last few years, even making the trip to Gunma Prefecture, the sacred place for anime fans. It is wonderful that you have already planned your next trip to Japan this October for Halloween! Since you love cosplay, I’m sure you’re already busy with the preparations. Let’s work on your Japanese as well to get you ready for the trip! You are an incredibly fast learner! You pick up new phrases and mimic them perfectly right away. I am confident that you will make great progress quickly, and your pronunciation was already very good. As a first step, let’s focus on mastering some useful, basic Japanese before your visit in October. Your room is so stylish; it felt like a different world to me. I am very much looking forward to seeing you again next week. Let’s enjoy studying together!
Thank you so much for joining our Japanese trial lesson today after such a busy day at work. I am truly delighted to have met you. I have never encountered a student who loves Japanese anime, food, and culture so much that it led them to become an ALT and live in Japan for two years! It’s no wonder you already know so much Japanese. Your pronunciation and intonation are incredibly natural—it was wonderful to hear. Today, we confirmed the purpose and goals for our lessons. Our purpose is to first recover the Japanese you haven't used in a while, and then to maintain it. As for our goal, we are aiming for you to reach the N3 level. It is fantastic that you are continuing to study Kanji as well. It would be my absolute pleasure to assist you in improving your Japanese. Our lesson today was so lively and fun. I am already looking forward to our next one. I look forward to working with you!
We had two consecutive lessons today, and you were very focused!
You did well in both vocabulary and reading comprehension.
Listening comprehension was a bit difficult today, as the words were hard to understand, but try to grasp the patterns of the questions and listen carefully!
Thank you for coming to the lesson. I apologize for the trouble caused by the technical issue with my computer during the first part of the lesson. We studied the grammar pattern transitive verb (te-form) + arimasu. Example: Suika ga hiyashite arimasu. ("The watermelons are chilled.")
