My last student of the night ended up being about 10-15 minutes late, I was starting to think that she wasn’t going to turn up. Thank goodness she did, as it was a great lesson. She was a higher level student so we went through the ET and Routine like a breeze, which was good [...]
I have a friend staying with me at the moment. She has been here for two weeks. She is off back home tomorrow, it’s been great having her here. I have been able to practice my Japanese since I don’t have my boyfriend to rely on when we are out and about enjoying Japan. We [...]

I had two pink level students who were friends, they are fairly new students here at Kyobashi school. For them to come together is great. ET: Either will do I asked what colour pen I should use to write on the board. They were looking at the pens very hard trying to decide what colour to [...]
ET: The student I saw today came in straight away and said his one point, not just from his last lesson but from the last time I saw him. Routine: The routine we did was The Meeting. My student claimed that he knew the story already so, I jumped to the questions to test him. [...]
