    Ikuko , I am grateful for all your help over the past year. Thanks to your wonderful teaching and for helping me with my N4 exam. I appreciate the way you explained complex grammar points so clearly and then helped me put them into practice. Thank you for making Japanese such an enjoyable language to learn

    Thank you so much, for teaching me for the last 5 years. It's been very challenging at times, but I feel I am improving quite a bit, and will continue to do so. One of my goals this year is to have a full class speaking Japanese, and not falling back into English. It'll be work, but I know I can do it. :)
