お邪魔しまーす。池田先生は多分UCLAで最高の日本語先生です。私には今まで最高の先生なんです。じゃ、今から英語で詳しく褒めまーす。Mr. Ikeda does a sublime job of bringing down what would otherwise be a truckload of overly complex vocabulary in his speech/lecture right to a small step above the class' average level, making it extremely easy to understand everything he is saying. When he uses a word most people do not know, and he knows that most people do not know it, he explains its meaning in easier Japanese. With the class being taught in Japanese, the lecture can get a bit tiring, but discussions and small group activities help woke me up. You can talk to him anytime about any problem (literally), and is the nicest guy in and outside of class. 100% 10/10 take this guy if possible.
