Improvement in Japanese lesson

Last week on Friday (12 November 2010), I taught Japanese lesson to Jacklyn. I changed location for her so that it would be more efficient to both of us (since we both come from opposite areas which is quite far from Jakarta). It worked so well that we were able to start the lesson early and with motivation. First, I started to teach Jacklyn more vocabularies in "foods" and how to say "I like" or "My favorite ..... is......". This topic really helped Jacklyn a lot in communicating in Japanese. So I tried speaking with her in Japanese for around 15-20 minutes. And she was able to understand most of my speaking and she was also able to reply in whatever I ask her. It was very amazing. Another thing that really impressed me was that she remembered all Japanese characters I thought last two weeks (there were around 30 characters). She got full mark when I tested her.
