Japan

I only just noticed that I haven't shown any photo's I've taken in Japan on here yet. If you follow me on FB, then you are already able to see these photo's. Although these photo's were taken a while ago. And I've taken a lot more since then. So I will posting them later.

Please feel free to have a look though. I do get into the habit of taking a lot of photo's once I have my camera in my hands. But I'm only an amateur photographer. But the prefecture I live in, here in Japan, is so beautiful and you wouldn't have guessed that its the prefecture that was badly hit by the Tsunami over two years ago.

Another Job

I finally got the approval of my company to work at a small English Cafe school. I will be teaching a small group of adults easy English. It will be my first time teaching adults. So I will do my very best to teach them. I won't be alone, there will be a Japanese native speaker there to help me. It will also be great to have another job where I can earn that extra money so I can hopefully go to Tokyo this winter!

This will be the perfect opportunity to not only teach a different age range but I get to learn Japanese too. I've already had one of the English teachers I work with help me with a Japanese phrase I practiced on the board. I completely forgot about one particle, which I told her a little while before that I found はand が difficult, although I am better at them than I was. I was just happy that what I wrote made sense. A student who was still the room after class said I had nice writing. Its just a shame that I write better than I can speak. But I am working on the speaking part now.

So wish me luck in starting this new class!! Its going to be great to be teaching adult mothers who want to learn English but have never had a chance to learn because they have been busy with raising their children. The place where I will be work is more like a cafe and mothers can bring their children and be learning in a relaxed atmosphere so they won't feel pressured. I just hope I can do a really good job. I am going to try my best with using Japanese to translate into English for them.

頑張れ！！
