Thanks a lot for the class this morning, Teacher Yuki.
I've had a lot of fun trying to share about the World Cup soccer games, even though I struggled a lot during the expressions. (hehe)
Thank you for being as patient and helpful as usual so that I could feel free to express my opinions and thoughts.
By learning with with Teacher Yuki, I can always feel free to talk and try different sentences even though I might not be certain what I'm talking about from time to time. XD
However, no matter how poor my expression was, Teacher Yuki would always listen patiently and give a lot of feedback and suggestions afterwards so that I can make gradual improvements.
We've finished L42 in the textbook today, and I'm looking forward to the start of the next lesson in the textbook.
Please take good care and stay healthy and happy until the next class in two weeks.
Thank you so much, Teacher Yuki. ^_^Fun×Be fluent×Relax Japanese -

Thank you for the wonderful lesson this morning, Teacher Yuki.
Even though I'm suffering slightly from a little sleep deprivation because of staying up late for the World Cup games, Teacher Yuki has been encouraging and motivating as always so that we've finished a lot of discussions and exercises from the textbooks. Thank you so much.
We've talked about the new dessert that's recently a hit in Tokyo train station, and it seems like Teacher Yuki likes it pretty much.
What's more, it's also pretty interesting to find out that Teacher Yuki likes a lot of Taiwanese desserts. XD
I'm looking forward to the class on Friday morning already.
Until then, please stay healthy and happy as well.
Thank you so much. ^^Fun×Be fluent×Relax Japanese -

Thank you very much for the lesson this morning. ^_^
When hearing the news about the earthquake in Osaka on Monday, the first instinct was to send Teacher Yuki a message to check if everything is all right. Fortunately, Teacher Yuki doesn't live in the area which suffered from a more serious damage, but still hope that everyone is safe and sound there.
While being on a short trip the last week, I visited the Disney Resort in Tokyo and also participated in the special campaign for Donald Duck's 84th birthday. It's amazing how magnificent and interesting activities they've had. It's so fascinating that I'm really considering buying an annual passport. (haha)
We've started L42 in the textbook today, which focuses on the expression of "in order to ...," which is a pretty useful grammar pattern that can be used a lot in everyday life. In order to be able to use Japanese better on my next trip, I'll definitely work hard to improve myself. XD
I'm already looking forward to the class next Monday morning.
Until then, please take good care and have a nice weekend.
Thanks so much, Teacher Yuki. ^_^Fun×Be fluent×Relax Japanese -

I've had much fun during the class this morning as usual, thanks to Teacher Yuki.
We've finished 41 in the textbook, and though using polite expressions in Japanese seemed very difficult at the first glance, Teacher Yuki used various strategies to help me overcome the difficulty, and eventually I was able to express them, no matter to answer the questions in the textbook or as a casual conversation.
In addition, the article in the textbook illustrated an old legend from Japan, which has a result similar to many Chinese legends.
If there's an opportunity, let's share about some of those from the Chinese culture then.
It's been very hot and humid in Taiwan recently, but I'm still looking forward to the next class with Teacher Yuki the upcoming week.
Thank you so much, Teacher Yuki. ^_^Fun×Be fluent×Relax Japanese -

I had much fun during the lesson this morning. Thank you, Teacher Yuki.
Even though we've suffered from a pretty poor Internet connection quality, we've still managed to have lots of fun and exchange of various expressions in different languages as well, which is definitely very awesome.
The expression of polite language in Japanese is definitely much more difficult than I imagined, and I'll still do my best to catch up with the new ideas in the textbook.
In addition, the chatbox I've had with the online service from a shopping website was definitely very authentic and useful, since it contained a lot of polite and respectful expressions. We should definitely thank the lady who helped solving my problems then. lol
Thank you for being so supportive and encouraging as usual, and I'm also looking forward to the classes the next week.
Please have a nice weekend and take care.

Thank you so much for the class this morning as usual, Teacher Yuki.
It's amazing that we've finished L40 this morning, and it seems like there's another review needed before we could move on to L41 in the textbook.
Hope I still remember most of the contents I've learned in the past five lessons. lol
Classes with Teacher Yuki are always fun and useful, and it's also so authentic that I felt less nervous during my travels in Japan. By having conversations and practices with Teacher Yuki, I was mentally better prepared for possible requests to local Japanese whenever I went traveling. Actually, I've been in Japan so often the last two years that my friends often question me why I like to go there.
Being able to use Japanese while traveling is definitely a very motivating factor to encourage learning, and Teacher Yuki always has some pop-up questions during classes so that students are able to simulate authentic conversations. Thank you so much for these practices, Teacher Yuki.
It's really hot in Taiwan these days, and I've just witnessed a 40 degrees Celsius when entering my car shortly before noon today. Hope you have much better weather in Osaka, and I'm also looking forward to a possible trip to Kansai this summer.
Please take care and have fun with your classes as well.
Thank you so much, Teacher Yuki. ^_^Fun×Be fluent×Relax Japanese -

Thanks to the lessons with Teacher Yuki, I felt much more confident during my travel in Tokyo the last weekend.
Even though I've just been there for a concert, I could communicate much more fluently with the staff at hotels, airports, stores, and restaurants in Japanese.
(even though I understood them more than being able to reply, hehe)
We've spent some time about the sharing of my travel the last weekend, and we've also managed to finish three parts in the practice of L40 in the textbook.
In addition, Teacher Yuki also encourages me to partake in the Japanese proficiency test, with the next one coming up in December in Taiwan.I'll definitely think about that and try hard to prepare for it.
At first, I just wanted to be able to understand some basic communication skills when I first started classes in Japanese.
But with the practice and training from Teacher Yuki, I've gradually started to feel that I might be able to do more than that and keep on polishing my language skill instead.
Feeling grateful to have Teacher Yuki as my teacher, and I'm also looking forward to all future classes with you as well.
Thank you so much, Teacher Yuki. ^_^Fun×Be fluent×Relax Japanese -

I had a lot of fun during the class this morning, thank you.
I really enjoyed the class this morning despite my stupid mistake I made with my own Skype account. Sorry about that. >"<
Teacher Yuki has shared a little bit about the places she's been to during the Golden Week, and it's sounded really awesome.
Then we've finished the new vocabulary, conversation, and sentences of L40 in the textbook.
I've had experiences with some vocabulary from this lesson during previous flights or being at airports, but it's also a shocking news that the "敬語" had so many variations in Japanese. lol
Even though I"m not able to have another class with Teacher Yuki until Friday morning in two weeks, I'll try to make a lot use of what I've learned so far during this stay in Tokyo. (hope I wouldn't disappoint Teacher Yuki >///<)
Please enjoy the weekend as well as the upcoming week.
I'm looking forward to sharing about the upcoming trips.
Thank you so much, Teacher Yuki. :)Fun×Be fluent×Relax Japanese -

I had a lot of fun during the lesson this morning as well, thank you.
It's really great that Teacher Yuki is still willing to have a lesson with me even though most people are already having a longer vacation time in Japan. Really feeling grateful and flattered.
We've finished L39 in the textbook this morning, and it seems like it's about time for a review since there's a review section coming up after L40.
Thanks to the 9-day break in Japan, I got more time to review until the next class, which is on the upcoming Friday morning. XD
While doing the exercises in the textbook, Teacher Yuki would seize every possible chance to have me try a related conversation to that section, such as making an invitation, telling about the possible consequences of typhoons in Taiwan, and sharing about an interesting or shocking news. By these spontaneous practices, I had more chance to make use of what has been learned before so that not only the contents in textbooks would be covered. Instead, it's really a great chance for authentic conversation practices.
Please have a great week and hope you can have a lot of fun as well.
Thank you so much, Teacher Yuki. ^_^Fun×Be fluent×Relax Japanese -

Thank you for making me have a wonderful class as usual this morning, Teacher Yuki.
Even though we've only talked about a very small part in the textbook, I did gain a lot from the discussion from the news articles this morning.
With the article about the Children's Day of boys, I understood that girls and boys would have their own Children's Day celebrated in different ways and separately. There's merely a day taken off in Taiwan. But I've heard from students recently that some teachers at school tend to exchange the class time with the break time, meaning that they'd have classes during the usual recess time, and the usual class time would be spent for a longer recess on the last school day before April 4.
In addition, a lot of passengers are expected at airports because of the Golden Week starting from the next week. Even though we don't have an official Golden Week, Taiwanese do get a longer consecutive break during the Chinese New Year, which would last from 6 to 10 days on average. It's interesting that both Teacher Yuki and I would go traveling if we've had a longer recess. It's a pity that the Japanese Golden Week doesn't match the days of the Chinese New Year, or we could go traveling together. haha
Thank you so much for be willing to have another class with me before you start your holidays next Monday, and I'm also looking forward to the class as well.
Thank you so much and have a nice weekend, Teacher Yuki. ^_^

Dear Teacher Yuki,
Thank you so much for the lesson this morning.
Because of Teacher Yuki's Monday morning lessons, there's no more Monday blue for me. XD
(but maybe Monday morning classes with me could result in Monday blue with Teacher Yuki ... lol)
We've finished the news reports I've read during the weekend, and even though I do feel that my comprehension has improved, there are sometimes intermediate grammar sentences included as well.
However, with Teacher Yuki's encouragement and supports, I believe that I'll be able to do better, and I'll also do my best for it.
L39 in the textbook seems to deal with negative results of incidents and disasters, and even though nobody likes them, the sentence patterns seem to be useful as well, especially when a person is in need of requesting for something in an emergency.
Please have a nice week, and I'm already looking forward to the lesson on Friday morning.
Thank you so much, Teacher Yuki. ^_^Fun×Be fluent×Relax Japanese -

Thank you for the lesson this morning, Teacher Yuki.
Not only have I learned a lot recently, but I've also the feeling that I'm gradually able to express more ideas with the abundant vocabulary and sentence patterns learned from the textbooks.
I'd also like to thank you so much for always being so patient explaining the questions I have, no matter towards contents in the textbooks or in the news articles.
Teacher Yuki tries various ways to let students understand whatever they're learning, and she'd also make sure that a lot of related examples as well as detailed explanations are given to further reinforce students' understanding.
I really feel grateful having Teacher Yuki as my Japanese teacher, and hopefully I wouldn't let you down when I visit Japan the next month. (blush)
I've read from friends' facebook status that there might be unstable weather in Kansai, so please take good care.
Looking forward to the class next Monday morning.

Thank you so much for the class this morning, Teacher Yuki.
Whenever there are long sentences in the news, I always tend to be a bit worried and scared when trying to decipher the meaning.
However, Teacher Yuki is always so patient and friendly that she always explains all of my concerns or confusions in detail so that I can get a clear picture and understanding of the articles.
What's more, Teacher Yuki also provides me with abundant examples to reinforce further comprehension.
After that, we've finished the majority of L38 in the textbook. This lesson is pretty fun since a lot of expressions are focused on the elaboration of how a person feels about a certain action, or giving more in-depth illustrations about what a person likes to do.
The gradual habit of watching Japanese drama might have also helped a bit with expressions of ideas, I think.
Thank you so much for everything, and I'm looking forward to the class on Friday morning.
Until then, please have a nice week, Teacher Yuki. ^_^Fun×Be fluent×Relax Japanese -

I had a lot of fun at the class this morning as well. Thank you so much.
The continuous reading of news in Japanese has definitely helped me a lot in comprehension as well as trying to compose the lesson feedback in Japanese as well. (hehe)
We've finished the questions I've had about the news articles, and we've also done the new vocabulary, conversation, and grammar section of L38 in the textbook as well.
Teacher Yuki has been patient and friendly as usual so that I can feel very free to ask for anything that probably confuses me during the class. In addition, all of my questions would also be answered in detail, so I really feel grateful to Teacher Yuki and am always looking forward to the next class.
Thank you so much for all the encouragements and time, Teacher Yuki. ^_^Fun×Be fluent×Relax Japanese -

Thank you so much for the lesson this morning as well, Teacher Yuki.
Since there was no class because of the spring break in Taiwan, I’ve accumulated a lot of questions during the studying of the news. But Teacher Yuki has been as patient as always, and I’ve received a lot of instructions and explanations on the ideas and questions for the news articles.
After that, we spent a little time to finish L37 in the textbook, and there’s only one more lesson left in the Taiwanese version of the textbook (L26 to L38 are included in book intermediate I, with L39 to L50 included in book intermediate II). It’s amazing that after almost a year of learning with Teacher Yuki, I’ve moved from about L10 to L37. Even though there are still sometimes some details I can’t remember, I do feel that I’m able to express more thoughts and ideas in Japanese now, and I’ll definitely keep working.
Thank you so much, Teacher Yuki. ^_^Fun×Be fluent×Relax Japanese -

I had a lot of fun in the lesson this morning as well, thank you.
We've finished the questions I've had about many particles and varied verbs in the news as well as part B in L37 of the textbook.
The various variations in Japanese really makes me feel that a person has to stay very alert whenever it comes to listening to a sentence spoken by another person, since you need to find out whether it's a request, an invitation, a statement, or possibly a regret. XD
By learning Japanese for the past year (started lessons with Teacher Yuki since last April), I've definitely become a more patient person than I was in the past. And also many thanks to Teacher Yuki, who is always supportive and encouraging no matter how frustrated I would be by the difficult grammar and poor memory for vocabulary.
Have a nice weekend and please do spend some time to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the next few days.
Thank you so much, Teacher Yuki. ^_^Fun×Be fluent×Relax Japanese -

I've also learned a lot this morning as well, thank you so much for the detailed explanations and lecturing on the details of passive forms, Teacher Yuki.
The reading practice of news Japanese has become smoother this weekend as I was able to read an article faster than usual.
Even though there are still many questions popping up during the reading, especially with the use of particles or combining various verbs together as one use, I definitely feel that the expression of my ideas was also smoother. Thank you so much.
Hopefully, with the help of watching some TV shows or other listening practice, I'm able to gradually gaining more skills in Japanese. hehe
After that, since I was quite confused with the passive form expression in L37 the last week, Teacher Yuki provided a more detailed yet easy-to-understand method this morning. Now I think that I'm clearer about some of those ideas, and I'll definitely try to review as well as look for some extra practice this week as well.
Thank you for all the encouragements and teaching, Teacher Yuki. ^_^Fun×Be fluent×Relax Japanese -

Thank you for the lesson this morning, Teacher Yuki.
It seems like there are fewer questions for the news Japanese this time, and that definitely attributes to the great suggestion you've offered. Thank you so much for that.
After that, we've finished a part of the grammar section in the textbook, and it seems like the passive forms in Japanese are much more complicated than those in Chinese or English. lol
Despite feeling a bit depressed, I'll try to review over the weekend and hope that we're able to move forward in the next class then.
Please take good care and have a nice weekend.
Thank you so much. ^_^Fun×Be fluent×Relax Japanese -

The class this morning was as usual, fun and very inspiring, and I've also learned a lot this morning as well. ^^
The reading of easy news Japanese has slowly improved my ability in reading even though I sometimes still struggle a bit with longer sentences or certain verb expressions like the passive voice or some other ideas.
It's also pretty amazing, how they've actually composed those news articles in accordance to the various sentence structures and grammar points mentioned in the textbooks. They really provide an amazing chance to review various grammar contents and sentence structures. Thanks to Teacher Yuki's great suggestion, I've become less nervous whenever starting to read a longer article.
After the questions about the news Japanese, we've finished L36 and the new vocabulary, grammar, and conversation of L37 in Minna no Nihongo textbook. The use of passive voice is sometimes a bit similar to the expression of an intention. Even though there are similarities shared, there are also some slight variations for verbs in the first, and particular in the third verb group. XD
I'll try my best to get prepared and study hard before the next class on Friday morning.
And also please take good care of yourself despite the many and long teaching hours.
Thank you so much, Teacher Yuki. ^_^Fun×Be fluent×Relax Japanese

Thanks so much for the lesson this morning, Teacher Yuki.
It's been a pretty long while since our last class, but I'll stay at home and work hard for the next few months since I had a bit too much fun in the first half of 2018. (hehe, blush)
We've finished the new vocabulary, sentence structure, and conversation of L43 in the textbook.
Thank you so much for being so supportive and informative for all the questions I might have had in class.
It's great being back to classes with Teacher Yuki so that I can relieve all my Monday blue. (haha)
Saw from the news and status of friends on facebook that it's been pretty hot in Kansai area recently.
Please take good care and stay healthy and happy every day.
Looking forward to the class next week.
Thank you so much, Teacher Yuki. ^_^
