| Sensei (=Luna) is very
active in giving interesting examples and life experiences. She makes
the lesson very interesting and motivated, always give me extra notes
and exercises to let me have a deeper understanding of that certain
topic on subject. Sensei has a very strong knowledge about Japan's
custom and very up-to-date about things going on in Japan. If I were to
choose a Japanese Language Teacher again, Ichikawa sensei is definitely
my first choice. |

Learning Japanese
language is not just a direct translation of English words and phrases
into Japanese.
Under Ichikawa sensei (=Luna) , I was able to grasp a good foundation
of the language structure and culture easily, with her
simple-to-understand teachings. |

| Ichikawa-sensei (=Luna)
explains stuffs in easy to understand analogies. There are several
topics in the Japanese language that I find hard to grasp, until she
explained it to me. She also has a vast knowledge of literatures and
other topics in general. Not only I learned the Japanese language, but
also other things regarding the Japanese cultures and arts. As said "It
is not enough to study a language without also learning its cultures
and arts". If there are chances in the future, I will definitely ask
her to teach me again. |

I have been studying with Ichikawa-sensei (=Luna) for
just over 2 years now and have made terrific progress with my Japanese
ability. She is an interesting person with extensive knowledge of and
interest in a number of subjects. Although we meet only once a week,
she always makes sure that I have plenty of supplementary worksheets to
keep me busy until the next lesson, even going to far as to create
quizzes from scratch for use in class and for homework. In these 2
years we have studied polite Japanese, casual Japanese, kanji, and
preparation for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (Levels 2 and
1). In addition, she has also given me advice about writing in Japanese
countless times. She is an extremely serious, trustworthy, experienced,
and professional teacher.

Next month, I'll have
been in Japan for one year; studying with Ichikawa-sensei (=Luna) once
a week, every week. And every week, Ichikawa-sensei conducts the class
in a very fun, but professional atmosphere. Not just teaching from the
textbook, Ichikawa-sensei often brings useful supplemental material, as
well as teaching from her own experience. The grammar, vocabulary, and
kanji we study are immediately useful in everyday life. After each
class, I am able to understand and use more Japanese than I could the
previous week. In short, I would not hesitate to recommend
Ichikawa-sensei if you are in the market for a world class Japanese
teacher!
来月日本に来てから一年間になりますが、ずっと一週間に一回市川先生（＝るうな）と一緒に勉強してきました。毎週市川先生は楽しくてプロフェッショナルな
授業を行います。教科書から教えるばかりじゃなくて市川先生はよく補足の教材を持って来て体験から教えてくれます。勉強する文法と単語と漢字は生活にとて
も役に立ちます。毎授業後には先週より日本語をわかって使えます。つまり屈指の先生を探したら、私は市川先生をお勧めする事を躊躇（ちゅうちょ）しませ

When learning a foreign
language, you may be using correct grammar and vocabulary, but you may
still sound odd and unnatural. Ichikawa sensei (=Luna) would always
point that out and suggest proper, natural language expressions and
words to make sure the students are learning real language as it is
used by the Japanese in everyday life. With a simple teaching method
and focus on practical language, after a lesson with Ichikawa-sensei
you are immediately ready to put newly learned expressions into use
when talking to your Japanese friends and coworkers. With extensive
teaching experience, English fluency, vast array of interests and
strong professional ethics, Ichikawa sensei is one of the best language
teachers I have ever
had pleasure to learn from.
この一年間たくさん日本語のことを習いました。日本へ来る前に全然日本語で話していなくて少し文法を勉強しただけでした。日本でたくさん友達が出来て、
ずっと日本語で喋って、よかったです。何より、日本語の授業でいろいろな単語を習って、先生（＝るうな）は本当に便利な話し言葉を私たちに教えてくれまし
た。さらに、たくさん漢字の読み方と書き方を勉強しました。漢字はすごく大切ですから今年も新しい漢字を習いたいです。たくさん漢字が分かったら、言葉が
覚えやすくなって、語彙（ごい）が大きくなると思います。もちろん、日本語を話す練習もしたいです。 |

大家好,
我來自台灣,與市川老師學習已經快一年了.我從大家的日本語十三課開始學,
原本以為從視訊學習會學不到東西,沒想到在市川老師的指導下,學了不少.
來日本之前雖然有學過日文,但始終抓不到日文的精髓.尤其是那煩人的五段變化,總是弄不清,
還好市川老師不厭其煩的解釋,説明來龍去脈,甚至用很多例子來告訴我.
雖不敢言自己很會,至少可以比較清楚什麼時候該用什麼句子,
且會話上也進歩不少.
希望一直跟市川老師一起學習,讓自己的日文更精進.
こんにちは。
私が台湾から来て、市川先生（＝るうな）にみんなの日本語の１３課から習い始めてもう１年になります。
以前はネットでの勉強は身につかないと思ってて、市川先生の指導でこんなに進歩できるなんて思ってませんでした。
日本に来る前にも日本語を勉強したことはありましたが、なかなかポイントが理解できず、特にあのやっかいな五段活用はずっと分からないままでした。
ありがたいことに市川先生は、面倒な事柄を何度も繰り返し筋道立てて、しかもとても多くの例で教えてくれます。
自分が日本語が大変上手であるとは言いませんが、少なくともどんな場面でどんな言い方をするのかよく分かるようになりました。
会話もとても上達しました。
これからもずっと市川先生に教えてもらって、日本語をもっと進歩させたいと思っています。 |

I nehme seit etwa einem Jahr Einzelunterricht bei
Luna-Sensei ueber Web-Kamera (Skype). Ich habe Erfahrung mit sehr
vielen Schulen / Privatlehrern und verschiedenen Unterrichtsmethoden in
Deutschland und in Japan. Ich bin sehr kritisch und es war sehr
schwierig einen Lehrer zu finden, der meinen Anforderungen genuegt.
Einen Lehrer, der sein Handwerk versteht, der aktiv unterrichtet, die
Unterrichtszeit effektiv nutzt, Schwachpunkte erkennt und sich selbst
mit dem Thema ,,Erlernen einer Fremdsprache" auseinandersetzt.
Luna-Sensei erfuellt diese Punkte. Ihr Wissen ueber die japanische
Sprache geht weit ueber Alltagsjapanisch hinaus. Man merkt sehr
schnell, dass sie sich mit den Lernmethoden einer Fremdsprache
auseinandersetzt und ihr eigenen Erkenntisse in den Unterricht einbaut.
Der Unterricht ist stukturiert, zielgerichtet und setzt genau dort an,
wo die Schwachpunkte des Lernenden liegen. Sie ist geduldig, erklaert,
wiederholt und fraegt- ein Profi eben.
るうな先生と約１年間Skypeを使ってレッスンを受けています。
私は、今までドイツでも日本でもいろいろな学校やプライベートのレッスンを受けてきた経験があります。ですから私の教師を見る目は厳しく、私の要求に応え
てくれる先生を見つけるのはとても難しいことでした。プロフェッショナルな技術と能力があり、積極的にレッスンの工夫をし、授業の時間を効果的に使うこ
と、生徒の弱点が見つけられること、そして教師自身が外国語学習した経験があり、関心を持ち続けていること、るうな先生はそれらの条件を満たしています。
先生の日本語に関する知識・能力は、一般の日本人の日常会話のレベルをはるかに超えています。また、先生が外国語の勉強の方法について、いつも考えてくれ
ていることは明らかで、それをレッスンに取り入れてくれます。レッスンは体系的（たいけいてき）で、目標設定（もくひょうせってい）がはっきりしていま
す。忍耐強（にんたいづよ）く、繰り返し丁寧（ていねい）に説明してくれるところは、さすがプロの日本語教師です。

It's been a little more
than one year since I started studying Japanese with Ichikawa-sensei
(=Luna) . Having a 90 minute lesson just once a week, we managed to
cover all basic level grammar, kanji and vocabulary required for JLPT
level 3 (which I passed in December 2008). Every week I had a homework
that took about 3-4 hours to complete: flashcards to memorize
vocabulary (1 hr), workbook exercises to practice using new grammar (1
hr), reading or writing a composition (1.5 hrs), plus the time to
learn, write and review kanji. In total, it was 200-250 hours of study.
Most of the time we've been using one very good book. But often
Ichikawa-sensei brings to the lesson other textbooks and grammar
reference books just to clear out some hard-to-understand or
weakly-explained things. Many students find learning vocabulary
especially difficult, because beginners have to memorize literally
thousands of new words and kanji. This is where the web-based
flashcards were very useful. You just cannot cheat with it in the way
you may sometimes do with books. Also, it's easy to go back and check
if you still remember the words or kanji you learned a long time ago.
It's just a few mouse clicks away.
(Ivan-san passed JLPT3(N4) in 12/'08, and then JLPT2(N2) in 07/'09)

I have been studying for the Japanese Language
Proficiency Test, level 2, with Luna for over a year. Before finding
Luna I studied Japanese at several local courses but studying online
with Luna via Skype has been the best experience of them all.
I get one to one tuition with a tutor in the Tokyo area
and I can arrange the lesson time to fit around work. She knows the
answer to almost every question I throw at her, can easily converse in
English if necessary, and clearly explains grammar that I don't even
understand in my own language :)
I felt awkward at first but quickly got used to Skype
and now I look forward to our lessons each week. She's very
professional and always pitches the lesson difficulty just right,
explaining in Japanese first where possible. She develops a course for
you, makes online flash cards for you to practice with and helps you
choose course material. Lessons feel like you're chatting with a
friend, every few weeks you become conscious that your reading,
listening and grammar skills have all just improved and its all
extremely rewarding.

I came to Japan to teach
English in 2007 with no Japanese ability. Needless to say life was very
difficult as even simple tasks seemed impossible without basic
Japanese. Two years later and I feel I have acquired basic Japanese
skills which makes life far easier and more enjoyable.
Ichikawa sensei (=Luna) has been an excellent teacher and works hard to
find interesting material suited to individual taste. I would highly
recommend her classes as she is able to explain difficult grammar in
English while guiding you to speak more easily in Japanese.
I hope to continue my Japanese studies with Ichikawa Sensei even after
returning to Britain through the use of Skype.
Ichikawa sensei-thank you for 2 years of lessons! |

| have been
Ichikawa(=Luna)`s student for just over a
year now. In that time my Japanese has dramatically increased both in
terms my own confidence and in terms of measurable abilities such as
reading, writing and listening comprehension. I am highly satisfied
with my lessons so far and with the path that my Japanese studies have
taken. As both a language student and an experienced language teacher,
I am fully aware that a good language teacher must be able to tailor to
each student`s individual learning needs and preferences, while
also being direct and honest with that student about their capabilities
and limitations. Ichikawa is a teacher that understands student needs
and is able to boost linguistic confidence, in an honest and
trustworthy fashion. I am very happy to recommend anyone interested in
learning Japanese to Ichikawa and am also glad to know that I have such
a dedicated and talented colleague within the language teaching field.

Having studied Japanese in both the traditional one to
one way and via skype I can honestly say that skype is just as good as
being there in person. Rather, I should say skype is EXACTLY LIKE being
there in person and anyone thinking of studying in this fashion should
have no concerns that a skype lesson lacks the authenticity of a man to
man set up. There are several skype advantages that I as a skype
student currently enjoy, such as avoiding all travel related hastle,
being able to study in the comfort of my own room and not having to
waste ages writing down notes during the lesson. It is a lot easier and
more reliable to simply cut and paste notes than to rely on my own
hasty handwriting.
In this day and age it is totally logical for a motivated adult
learner to make the most of the technology that is available at our
fingertips. Skype lessons, combined with regular use of WordChamp
flashcards and
a touch of determination can prove highly beneficial for meeting the
needs of any learner of Japanese. I have no hesitation in recommending
this methond of learning.

大家好。
我来自中国。
虽然我在日本上了大学院，
日语水平大概中级以上吧，
但因为毕业后用日语的机会不多，
觉得自己的日语不但没有进步，反而退步了。
我去过日语学校，也上网查了很久，
最后选择了跟市川老师学习。
一方面是因为学费比较便宜，
一方面是上完体验课后，我觉得她是一位不错的老师。
中级以上的学生比较难教吧，
因为我不用教材。
但市川老师每次都准备了有意思的新闻报道，
耐心地纠正我的日语发音，
教我新单词的用法和地道的日语说法。
我觉得和市川老师聊天非常愉快，
每次都觉得时间过得太快了。
我很庆幸自己遇到了一位好老师。

I started to study the
japanese
language twice and I quit every time. About two years ago I changed my
mind and I decided to study more and more until I wasn't satisfied with
my profit. Japanese is a difficult language, and if you're reading this
your know it already. I used every kind of material I found from books
to software. I successfully finished some famous language course, but I
wasn't able to read the japanese language because of my bad grammar. I
found on the web many japanese teachers who offer a free lesson, but
Ichikawa was the only one to be honest about my japanese abilities. She
adviced me to study together Genki, a book I've already studied.
Sometimes you think to have solved correctly the exercies, but the
truth is that you need someone to check your mistakes and your
progress. Moreover, I was a bit reluctantly to use her flashcards
because I got mine, but I-m improving more and more using her grammar
flashcards because they allow me to review what we have done during the
lessons. It's alike to have your teacher offline! If you 're searching
for a teacher who can help you to improve at japanese language,
whatever is your level, and who can allow you to study at your pace,
Ichikawa is the teacher for you!
Ho provato a studiare il giapponese due volte, abbandonando ogni volta.
Due anni addietro circa mi sono messo d'impegno, prefiggendomi di
studiare sempre più fino a quando non fossi stato soddisfatto dei miei
miglioramenti. Il giapponese è una lingua difficile, e se state
leggendo questo, lo sapete già. Ho usato ogni tipo di risorsa possibile
dai libri ai software. Ho concluso con successo alcuni famosi corsi di
lingua, ma non ero ancora in grado di leggere il giapponese a causa
della mia cattiva grammatica. Su internet ho trovato molti insegnanti
di giapponese pronti a offrire una lezione di prova; Ichikawa è stata
l'unica a essere sincera sulle mie attuali capacità linguistiche. Mi ha
consigliato di studiare insieme Genki, un testo che avevo studiato. A
volte siete convinti di avere risolto correttamente gli esercizi, ma la
verità è che avete bisogno di qualcuno che controlli i vostri errori e
i vostri progressi. Inoltre, ero un po' riluttante a usare le sue
flashcard dal momento che avevo le mie, ma sto migliorando sempre più
da quando uso le sue flashcard grammaticali perché posso ripassare ciò
che ho fatto durante la lezione. E' come se avessi la tua insegnante
offline! Se state cercando un'insegnante che vi possa aiutare a
migliorare il vostro giapponese, qualunque sia il vostro livello, e che
vi permetta di studiare al vostro ritmo, Ichikawa è l'insegnante che fa
per voi! |
