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 onomatopoeia: Sound words in Japanese. Natsumi Sensei has the following notes for those interested in the upcoming lesson:
I don’t think Dōgen has any lessons specifically addressing this topic. I would like students to look up the meanings of some common onomatopoeic words before the lesson; for example きらきら, にこにこ, etc.
The site linked below is a good resource for onomatopoeia. It has an overwhelming number of words, but is useful for getting a sense of what is out there.
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 lessons 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.
