I had a lesson at a coffee shop in Kyobashi this week. It was the first time since Covid-19 outbreak. I am still monitoring the situation and I am adjusting the schedule at this time.  Most of my lessons are still via Skype, but it was nice to have a lesson in person.

Especially when I teach beginner students, I prefer to having face-to-face lesson. Hopefully the virus will be contained soon.

久ひさしぶりにカフェでレッスンをしました。まだほとんどのレッスンはオンラインですが、対面たいめんでレッスンができて、とても楽しかったです。

早くこのコロナウィルスがおさまればいいなと思っています。
