Yamauchi sensee is the best prof I've ever had in UCSB. Her lecture is really organized and interesting. She is generous in grading. Highly recommend her class.

She's very cheerful and always willing to help students outside of class. Emphasis is placed on speaking skills as well as grammar and vocab. However, the oral exams are rare and relatively easy. She really makes the class fun. It's the only class I've looked forward to going to this quarter.

Yamauchi-sensei's immersive approach to language learning in the classroom has made me confident in my ability to learn Japanese. Definitely take her!

Yamauchi sensei is super nice and friendly. Also very funny. Definitely will take again.

A very nice sensei, both in and out of class. Details are given on words, paragraphs and grammar points. Interesting projects. Rather easy to take good grade if well-prepared.

Very nice sensei. I took her class for 3 times. She takes care of all students needs in class. She explains the topics well. Would definitely continue taking her class

wonderful teaching experience! Definitely consider taking again

Yamauchi sensei is a great teacher. Her teaching style is very interesting. She encourages students to speak Japanese as much as possible in class. Would recommend her.

Yamauchi sensei is really kind and always willing to help you outside of class if you're struggling. She makes Japanese enjoyable and easy to learn and I look forward to taking third year Japanese with her! The class relies on the textbook and workbook heavily and has a standard midterm and final.

Really nice teacher!!! Quizzes are very easy. Smile on face all the time. Love her class!

An incredibly kind and caring teacher. Despite the break-neck speed of the summer course I feel I really learned a lot from her. Very quiet and mild mannered and *always* willing to take extra time to help students.

Yamauchi sensei genuinely cares about teaching kids japanese. Makes class interesting by having a good sense of humor and will practice one on one japanese with you in office hours. Only class i never ditched. Cant commend her enough!

Yamauchi Sensei is awesome. I've had her for Japanese 3, 5, and 120. She is so sweet, helpful, funny, understanding, and adorably Japanese. She really wants to help you understand !

Yamauchi Sensei is super nice, and is more of a friend to me after I graduated from her Japanese 120 series classes. She was always willing to help during office hours and explain everything. She's also very encouraging for students to attend Japanese Cafe to improve speaking. We are very lucky to have such a friendly professor in this department!

Yamauchi Sensei is a great teacher. She was always positive and cheerful, even during our early morning classes. She is excellent at explaining hard to understand points and makes learning fun. Additionally, she was ALWAYS willing to take the time to enrich the learning experience, even outside of the time designated to class and office hours!

Yoko-sensee is great, she's super nice and friendly. She gets to know everyone and has a really cute sense of humor, and she never makes you feel bad for not knowing something. The class is really fun and I'd highly recommend it.
