August next year? Really?
Then you MUST come and visit our school!
We might need another English teacher by then,
if you are interested, just let me know!
We have Japanese language classes too,
and it's only 1000yen per lesson!
Me or other Native Japanese girl will teach there.

ohh so you are an english teacher. thats pretty cool. if you need a person from australia to be a pen pal i'll do it. atm I'm in my last year for my course and it is basically crunch time, but I'm more than interested to do it. it will be pretty cool.

Yeah, why not?!
Yes, I teach Japanese kids to adult
basic English. I can't teach like native English speakers do,
but for the beginners, I could be usuful&helpful,
cos I can tell them how I learned English.
Today, I told the students (all girls over 20s-30s)
something like this....
me:
What would you say if a guy said
"You are pretty/beautiful!" to you?
the girls:
I would say "Thank you"
me:
I would say
" I know!"
the girls: *laugh*
"It's a good idea!"
That's one of the things I can tell the beginners, from my experience.
Japanese are besically shy when they have to talk to foreigners,
They are trying to be very very nice and kind to them, which is really good but they could be too serious and tired.
I really want them to relax and sometimes to joke, then
everyone can enjoy.

"You have to be careful with everyone being "too good/kind" to you"
That's what all of my friends told me when I decided to
travel Europe by myself.
But, actually I met great people there.
They were really really nice and kind and helful and all that!
Well, I meant what I said to you.
If it sounded "too good" to scared you, sorry! haha.

We had the winter Olympic Games here.
It's about 1.5 hour from Tokyo by "Shinkansen".
My students will love to be penfriends with you,
Let me send you our address and the details later,
