Lady was very knowledgeable and helpful, but I had a lot of trouble understanding her with her accent. Certain words were hard for me to understand, because of her accent, but she seemed very knowledgeable in the subjects that I asked her.

Sumio is understanding and compassionate, in a way that he takes into consideration not only the current session, but prior discussions for a more wholistic interpretation of the topic discussed. His broader prospective is important when exploring the deeper meaning.
