she immediately taught me how to introduce myself and give me some examples of vocabulary for formal situations, casual situations and how Japanese is really adapted to daily speaking. She explain how to say it and even used my native language as a reference for pronunciation. I liked how she taught me different ways of the same word. She repeated several times and allow me to repeat as much as need it to understand and say it correctly. She wrote it for me on a board and it was very useful to be able to see how its written and how they actually use katana and hiragana. To read and say it help me to understand better the language. She was also very patient and kind. She is able to explain in English very well however she uses most Japanese as posible for a better language experience.
