Daily(Free) conversation
In this lesson you can brush up your conversation skills according to your favorite topics such as hobbies, vacation, family etc.
You might think this is too early for beginners who do not know basic vocabulary or grammar, but actually this works well with beginners.
Here are two reasons:
One reason is that your teacher can tell you the right word when you struggle to come up with the best word you want to use in Japanese. For example, even if you do not know the word "fish", your teacher will interpret the word from other related words such as river, sea, swim etc.
The second reason is that your teacher can correct your wrong usage or pronunciation. People sometimes make the same mistake. Even if you think you will not make the same mistake again, somehow you will again and again. Through conversation, your teacher can point out and correct your frequently made mistakes.
Also, if you are corrected and made aware of the mistake while talking about your favorite topic, it will be vividly retained in your memory and you will be able to USE the proper expressions in actual conversation afterwards.
