Ayano.I (Vtuber)

I have a meeting with my partner's Japanese clients next week, and Ayano has been incredible at helping me prepare. This has so far included: - Going through a list of nitpicky questions I sent her on language, actions, and etiquette, methodically answering each one with text, images, and even doodles! - Bringing her own list of typical Japanese business dinner small talk topics to see how prepared I was to answer them (answer: not at all) - Making time in class to walk me through structuring a letter to them, after I'd struggled to write it on my own - Sending me links to resources on topics relevant to these clients - Making herself available to answer questions at any time, even outside classes This is on top of our usual conversation practise at the start of each class, which has been as valuable as always. Ayano has introduced me to so many potential opportunities (and pitfalls!) for this visit, I don't know what I would have done without her. Truly above and beyond.

More 'nai-form' practice, but this time with irregular verbs added in. Ayano sensei has made this lesson very relevant by creating a real world scenario in a maid cafe where you must ask if you can do something, or if you're being asked to not do something. I'm still a little slow at this, so I will review the material before the next lesson. Ayano sensei's lessons are always fun!

Ayano is always well prepared with topics, vocabulary and exercises. She puts a lot of care and effort into her lessons, and it shows. She also presented me with a lesson plan for upcoming weeks today, and it is great to know that she's got everything planned out so well in advance.

Ayano's Always Wonderful in our Japanese Lessons! Lately, we've been focused on learning and practicing new grammars! Of course, I have tons of questions, and Ayano explains everything wonderfully! It really helps a ton to fully understand all the differences between similar grammars, and so I'm able to learn everything in detail right away! My speaking and listening skills are improving greatly as a result, and I'm on my way to fluency! いつも本当にありがとうございます！！！

Today's lesson with Ayano-san was particularly fun because we spent the time talking about the new Apple products that were announced recently. This led to a lot of vocabulary and expressions that don't really come up in basic conversation but were really fun to learn. Thank you, Ayano-san, for making learning so enjoyable.

Another Wonderful Lesson With Ayano! We've been learning and reviewing a lot of various grammars together lately with the help of a textbook Ayano recommended! It's been wonderful practice, and I'm always asking a million questions to learn more! And as always, it's a ton of fun! いつも本当にありがとうございます！！！
