Jamila's classes are always fabulous. If you haven't been to one yet, what are you waiting for? Learning, laughter and fun, it's all inside~ I truly recommend you attend as soon as you see any classes posted by Jamila or you're missing out on a very enjoyable lesson.

I want to thank you so much for setting up the class and for your patience. Today was the first time EVER I spoke in Japanese with others present and listening. When I asked you about the usage of the word good, I didn't even realize at the time that I knew the meaning of those words. I think your golden classes are just that and I feel these classes will help me get over my fear of speaking Japanese out loud. I can't say that I will speak every time but, today brought me a long way. I think you are golden as well and I'm so pleased to have met you. I'm honored to be your twin bunny.
