I recently did a soapbox posting about using a contemporary event with great popular appeal as the subject of a lesson at my English conversation school 英会話, Smith’s School of English, Kawanishi スミス英会話川西校. This made for a really successful and very popular lesson. My lesson featuring the (not quite total) success of Japanese figure skater Mao Asada at [...]

One of my favorite expression is “Laughter is the best medicine.” I suppose I got my humor from my father. He was always a great storyteller and I guess a little bit of him rubbed off on me. While I have some good memories of England as a child I think that to live in [...]
So as I have mentioned before I have just recently started to take Japanese lessons. I really am starting a square one, therefore, a bit overwhelmed at times. Yes, I have lived in Japan for 2 years and yes, I have seen and learned a small amount of Japanese words since I have arrived. My [...]

I love that quote. Recently one of my friends wrote it on his facebook status. When I read it I wondered if I was just sitting in the middle of the track. It’s march now and I decided that I needed to reassess the year so far to see how well I’ve really been doing. [...]
“Wait a minute,” I said to my friend, “How is the start of an Smith’s lesson like a piece of bread?”
An often asked question at Smith’s School of English Koenji (スミス英会話高円寺) is “ How many words are in the English language?”, which is similar to asking the question “How many metres are in a piece of string?”
Throughout the world there are over 6500 languages spoken, yet only about 1000 of them have a dictionary [...]
