Hi Damien san! Did you enjoy your 3rd trial lesson? You've been practicing writing Hiragana, and you're getting better and better! Today, you also took on the challenge of learning numbers! The pronunciation is completely different from English, so it can be a bit tricky at first, right? But don't worry! With repeated practice, you'll be able to say them perfectly in no time!! I'm looking forward to our lesson next week!

We learned about Japanese characters today. Japanese uses four different types of characters, and you understood them very well! We also took a close look at Japanese sentence structure. Following the example sentences, you were able to express your own actions using longer sentences. You must feel a real sense of accomplishment! Let's keep practicing speaking a lot more next week. I'm looking forward to it.
