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 [...]

It’s not so long ago that science fiction movies showed such an outrageously modern instrument as a video phone. I remember thinking how cool it would be to see the person that you were talking to, especially if you didn’t know them. How brilliant to put a face to the name. Then a company called [...]

Yesterday, Asada Mao won a silver medal in the women’s figure-skating at the Vancouver Winter Olympics. Today I have already used an exercise, based on an article about the final from the [...]

Of course English is perhaps the most widely accepted international language. But actually any language, including Japanese, can be an international language. I personally experienced this about 15 years ago on a business trip to Taiwan for a design meeting with our Taiwan supplier who was to make a charger stand for our [...]

Some of them were even homemade, yummy! I [...]

I had my fourth lesson with a student who started man to man (one on one) lessons at my Smith’s School of English in Koenji (スミス英会話高円寺 ) last Saturday week. The original purpose for her to commence English lessons at my monthly pay English conversation school (英会話月謝制) was that she had a job interview [...]

I read another heart-warming story a few days ago in the Mainichi Daily which described the dedication of an 11 year old elementary school girl from Tokyo who became the youngest professional “Go” (Japanese board game) player in history. She has broken a record which was set back in 1968 by a South Korean player. [...]
