Reviews of professor Etsuko Yamakita

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Very understanding of language barrier between Latin and Sino-Tibetan languages. Makes pop culture references. Easy homework and classwork. You have to do HW to understand the Japanese lessons; writing, spelling and pronunciation. I suggest watching Youtube videos for independent practice. Short writing quiz at the end of each class. Ganbattene!

I loved taking Yamakita sensei's class. I would just describe her as very reasonable. Expect a short quiz every class, they are pretty easy to do well on if you pay attention in the class before. There is A LOT of memorization, but she is very good about helping us remeber with classroom excersizes. She is very clear about what she expects.

Yamakita sensei is a great teacher! You will have a quiz and homework every class, but it really helps you learn, understand, and speak Japanese.

Yamakita Sensei is an amazing professor. She loves when you ask questions and cares a lot about her students. If you need help outside of class, she is always available. Make sure to show up to class and participate.

Yamakita sensei is a great teacher. She makes learning the Japanese language very fun and easy. You have homework due and quizzes every class so attendance is important but the quizzes really help you to understand the information. It is not a hard class at all. If you show up and participate, an A is pretty much guaranteed.
