Nakakubo sensei is probably one of my favorite professors i've had so far but also my most challenging. She gives a ton of homework, for good reason it's a 4 credit class however as long as you go to class everyday and actually study you'll find the class to be a lot easier.Rate My Professors ↗

Nakakubo sensei is an absolute treat of a teacher who is always on time, prepared, and most importantly always a joy to learn with! She drives a hard ship and always requests a lot out of her students, but if you're up for the task you'll have an amazing experience and learn so much!Rate My Professors ↗

Very good teacher and the class was easy + fun. Be ready for daily classes + homework, but that is expected for language classes.Rate My Professors ↗

She teaches a foreign language. Take everything you know about any foreign language, and it applies. Be there every day, take notes, practice when you can. Shes an amazing teacher though, loves all the students, and wants everyone to succeed. Will not hold you hand, but will do her best so you can too.Rate My Professors ↗

She cares a lot about her students and wants to see everyone succeed. One of the nicest professors I have ever had here at UW. She's also a great teacher! cannot recommend her enough! Just be prepared to put in a lot of work outside of class. It is a 6 credit course for a reason.Rate My Professors ↗
