Regular Lesson for 3 weeks
I have taken lessons with Minori sensei for the duration of my stay in Kyoto (3 weeks, almost every day) and I am very happy with this experience.
Minori sensei is a talented professor who knows how to explain things easily and how to break the ice and make the student speak (that was my primary objectif in Kyoto). Kanji explanations were also highly appreciated (having experienced several Japanese teachers, I can say that this is not always the case...)
Moreover, Minori sensei is a very nice person and I am happy that I got to know her, it was a humanly rich experience.

Regular Lesson ⇒ Skype Lesson: Basic level
When I arrived on the day of my first lesson in Kyoto, I didn't know exactly what to expect. However I was delighted to meet a teacher who is very much center on the learner in their learning goals, studying preferences and in challenging them at an appropriate level.
Nagata-sensei is also very accommodating in how the learning takes place - we met at a cafe in Japan, but since I have returned to my home country she kindly agreed to continue our lessons via Skype!
I have been studying Japanese with Nagata-sensei for several months now and my Japanese level has improved greatly. I'm overjoyed to be able to have more fluent conversations with Japanese-speaking friends and to understand Japanese texts better.
I feel much more confident in myself and I've had so fun learning Japanese with Nagata-sensei!

Regular, Skype lesson: Advanced
It has been 4 months since I first met Minori sensei.
I met her when I was terribly worried and troubled about my future plan and learning Japanese.
I was so afraid of making mistakes that I couldn’t speak to Japanese people at all. And because I was living alone, I had no one to consult with about my future. Then I thought of on-line lesson and our lesson started. Minori sensei has taught me not only Japanese language but also how to study the language. She helped me to write research plan and to prepare for interview to go on to the University.
As well as teaching Japanese language, she told me about the various cultures and life in Japan. She invited me to her house and cooked me typical Japanese homemade meal. It was my first time to visit Japanese home and at that moment she became my family in Japan.
Since I met Minori sensei, I have become liking life in Japan. Now I am not afraid of speaking with Japanese people any more. I can communicate with Japanese people more than before. I think we all meet such person in our life. They help us to find the way. Minori sensei is that person for me. All I want to say now is Arigatougozaimasu.
与MINORI老师的邂逅 弹指一挥间，遇见MINORI老师已经4个月了。
回顾起来，最初遇到老师时，我正饱受着升学和语言多方面的压力。
那个时候不想让家人担心，一个人在日本，连一个可以说话，商量的人都没有。很是痛苦。也是抱着试试看的心态，在网上找到了MINORI老师，本以为也就是学日语。没想到，MINORI老师非常热情。除了日语，在升学方面也给予了很多建议与帮助。帮我修改计划书，小论文还有做面试模拟等有时候还特地和家人一起商量我的升学的事。在老师的关怀下，我逃出了说不出口的阴影，我逐渐的敢和任何人讲话。以前说话总是蹦词，然后对方听不懂很尴尬，现在，经常能听到对方源源不断的交流的声音。还会听到一些表扬的话。学习以外，MINORI老师更多是我的朋友，在老师的邀请下，第一次在日本的家里吃正宗的日本料理。非常感动也非常感谢。MINORI老师让我第一次体验到了日本的生活。如果不是这样，怎么会遇到一位这样好的家人呢。一生中一定会遇到这样的人，这个人不经意间改变了你的人生，让你从困顿中逃离。MINORI老师就是我人生中这样的角色。最后，只想说，谢谢你MIBORI老师，我会好好珍惜这一切。
