Comment on My Japanese lessons – The drama continues… by John C

Jerry
I am also learning Japanese, and at first found the Kanas difficult, but having learned them, a new world opened to me, and I am now trying to learn Kanji. I learned hiragana and katakana using books: Easy Hiragana and Easy Katakana. It builds up your knowledge systematically, and it doesn’t take too long. When I could read them, I felt a lot less lost and useless on my own. It is SO worth the effort.

You can read about this special night in an earlier post that I wrote by clicking here. [...]

Comment on Plum Blossoms. Kozen Koen, Semboku, Sakai City. by Ken

Hello Tim,
I love the depth of colour of plum blossoms such as you have captured here.
On Friday we had an unusually hot day in Tokyo and one of my students said that she noticed that some cheery trees had started to flower. I assume they have died of shock as it’s been cold and wet in Tokyo over the weekend with even snow being forecast for next week.
Have a lovely spring and a great time taking photographs.

Comment on Smiling with My Eyes by Ken

Ken — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 23:33:14 +0000

Hi Derek,
“Smile and the world smiles with you” an old but ever so true phrase. Get eye contact, smile and your 75% on your way to getting a new student.
I am however very interested in hearing about your “smiling with my eyes” technique. I often smile and at the same time raise my eyebrows which usually sees me heading back home after my morning exercise with an empty bag and a big smile of success and happiness on my face.

Yes Adrian with hard work nothing is impossible. I have taken up Mark’s challenge and aim to substantially increase my turnover as a one man business, by what I think is a reasonable STAG, before the December 2010 holiday break. Just look at Mark’s success at revitalising Kyobashi as an example that it can be done by goal orientated enthusiastic effort
