Natsumi Sensei will prioritize questions submitted to the earlier announcement post, providing answers and practice for participants. If time permits, she will take additional questions from participants during the lesson.

As a reminder, this month's lesson will cover 尊敬語 (そんけいご, “respectful language”). Natsumi Sensei has the following notes for those interested in the upcoming lesson:

This theme, 尊敬語 (そんけいご, “respectful language”), will be the first in the 敬語 (けいご, “honorific language”) series. I plan on covering 謙譲語 (けんじょうご, “humble language”) next month, and 美化語 (びかご, “polite prefix language”) the month after that.

If you would like to work with Natsumi Sensei one-on-one, she is still available for private lessons. You can learn more about private lessons in this post. You can schedule a single 30- or 60-minute lesson if you just have a few questions or areas you want to practice, or you can sign up for a set of four 30- or 60-minute for a discounted price.

A quick note on recording: The lessons will be conducted on Zoom and will be recorded. Participants may be asked to share their video during the lesson to allow Natsumi Sensei to better assess and assist individuals. After the lesson, we intend to post a recording of the lesson on Patreon for patrons in the "Japanese Phonetics" tier. While we will edit the video to focus on Natsumi Sensei, there is a possibility participants may appear in the posted recording. By participating in the lesson, you consent to appearing in the video. If you have any questions about this, please contact us by DM.
