Only one has ever suggested Osaka 大阪市, which is also my choice. Why? Well, to me, [...]

During the 9 months that I have been the owner and teacher of Smith’s School of English, Kawanishi スミス英会話川西校, I have done quite a lot of exploring in the area around my English school. I never cease to be amazed by the very special places that I have found in this part of Japan.

As I also studied Japanese for quite some time I have been able to become a student of why Japanese people choose certain words for various situations or why they use certain grammatical structures [...]

Smith’s School of English events are lots of fun, both for the students and the teachers. I always look forward to the next event, whether it is one for only my school, Smith’s School of English Tsukaguchi（スミス英会話塚口校）, or a joint one with other Smith’s schools. The next event is a Christmas one and I am doing it jointly with two other schools, [...]

I took advantage of the wonderful fine weather last Sunday and on the spur of the moment headed off to see the 29th running of the Japan Cup – a famous international invitational horse race.
