Enrollment Steps

I am mainly focused on writing at the moment. I write about my life and thoughts so the content is always relevant to what I am likely to want to talk about with my Japanese friends. I really value the flexibility to choose what and how I want to learn – not what a textbook offers – that is available at Nihongo-pro. At the same time I am exposed to new items through the writing practice book that Nakano-sensei recommended. Many of these items turn out to be quite simple common expressions which my previous textbook did not include. So I feel I have the best of everything now.

I appreciate the ease of reserving class times (as well as cancelling when necessary). And I value the use of the whiteboard during class. It’s very clear and easy to see where the errors in my writing and to clarify any confusions I have. The electronic access to teacher resources that Sensei has allows her to explain grammar points or put up definitions of new words. This makes the lesson run smoothly and efficiently. Being sent all the files afterwards means I can check the corrections to my errors, practice any new words, and make my writing into a reader for my own later use.

In the 6 months I have been having lessons with Nakano-sensei, my Japanese writing skills have definitely improved. I’m looking forward to continuing!

With Kawamura-sensei, learning grammar became easier and fun. She always explains grammar points to make them easier to learn. She is also there to answer my numerous question about something I saw in a book or somewhere else. She is kind and always gives extra explanations (even repeating things because I forgot them -- 忘れてしまいましてごめんさない).

My conversations with Kawamura-sensei are fun and interesting while still learning lots of things about Japan. My speaking and listening ability have improved greatly.

It is worth every penny I spend on Nihongo-Pro. I recommend everyone to try Kawamura-sensei's lessons—you won't regret it.
