Happy News and Schedule Updates from Natsumi Sensei

Added 2025-08-01 13:18:03 +0000 UTC

Hello, everyone. JP here, with wonderful news and a brief update from Natsumi Sensei.

 We're delighted to share that she just gave birth to her second child! Both Natsumi Sensei and her new baby are healthy, and she sends her best to everyone in the community.

 She will be taking maternity leave for August and September to rest, recover, and spend time with her family. During this time, there will be no group lessons on Patreon. While she will continue some private lessons after a brief break, her availability will be limited for a while.

 As you may have noticed, we weren't able to hold the usual group lesson (available to patrons in the Japanese Phonetics tiers) in July due to schedule changes related to her leave. We'll resume the monthly group lessons when she returns.

 Thank you all for your understanding and continued support, and best of luck in your studies!

— JP
