Thank you for attending the lesson. I apologize for not having explained the basic system earlier, such as the fact that there are four lessons per month. We talked about year-end and New Year greetings, as well as Christmas in Japan. We also introduced verb forms: the present tense, past tense, and their negative forms.
Today, we practiced how to read colors and numbers in Japanese! You’ll master them as you get used to them little by little. Let’s do our best together!
Thank you for coming to my lesson. You try to learn Japanese so hard! I enjoy the lesson with you.

こんばんわ！Thank you for joining the final lesson of the year! Since today was right before the holiday break, we had a free‑talk lesson. We shared updates, talked about Christmas and New Year’s goals, and you told me about your side business. Your photos were amazing—so California! They made me feel like I traveled there. Thank you! As you said, the company test sounds incredibly tough, but I hope you get through it and start 2026 in the best possible way. You’ve got this. I truly believe in you, and I’m cheering you on.
Thank you for your hard work and preparation and review were excellent. I really appreciate your effort. I look forward to working with you next February! Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
