Satoko's method of teaching is simply fun. Japanese is a challenging language to learn for Westerners. But in my experience with Satoko, her cues and side stories made learning easier and fun, what translated to better recall of vocabulary and grammar. She was very patient and always with a happy spirit, I really enjoyed having learned with her and would highly recommend Satoko to anyone interested in learning not just Japanese but also small anecdotes about Japan that at times relate to the topic being taught. It's such fun learning with Satoko!
