When Edward, my younger sister and I were handing out Smith’s School of English Ohtsu (スミス英会話大津校) flyers at JR Ishiyama station (石山駅) in the morning, something fun happened.

With all this new snow falling and the coldness setting in, it reminds me of my home… Canada. Well, not really MY Canada, as my hometown is currently sunny and 10 degrees, and also rarely sees snow, but rather the Canada of ice hockey and skiing and winter fun. Recently I have found a [...]

The other day, one of my students from Smith’s School of English Ohtsu (スミス英会話大津校) made me feel very happy.
When the student and I were practicing this week’s ‘One Point’ in a class (‘One Point’ is a phrase lesson offered through the ‘Free Online English Lesson‘ on our website) she said,
