Hi everyone, my name is Will and I am from Canada. While growing up in a family that used three dominant languages I have discovered early in life my passion for learning languages. I am looking forward to learning from you and teaching you the way that I have learned my whole life, while having fun.

ウィルさん、おつかれさま でした。 きょうは カルテットの ぶんぽう を れんしゅう しました。 ・～といえば（Speaking of N, N reminds me...） ・～なら（①if～, ②as for～） eg. カナダ の たべもの と いえば、プーティン（poutine）です。 もし みっかかん やすみが ある なら、ウィスラー（Whistler）に いきます。 CNタワーなら オンタリオこ（lake）の まえ ですよ。 より こまかい ニュアンス が つたわるので、ぜひ つかって みて くださいね。 You can express finer nuances with these, so please try using them! また じかい！

Willさん きょうは、カナダで はやっていること（ワールドカップ）について 話（はな）しました。 サッカーのニュースの ひらがなは、とても よく 読（よ）めていましたよ！ アメリカと カナダの 文化（ぶんか）の 違（ちが）いの 話（はなし）も、とても おもしろかったです。 また、次（つぎ）のレッスンで！ Today we talked about what is popular or trending in Canada, the World Cup. I think your Hiragana reading in the news article was very good! I also enjoyed topic about cultural differences between Canada and U.S. See you in the next lesson!

    I’d say since there are no conditions: Since you got into the room with your imagination, to get out , just imagine that you are out of the room. :) In other words; “Get out the same way you got in, by imagining that you got out.”

    It's great to hear everyone's response. I personally prefer to communicate with a teacher that does speak a language that you do understand simply because it makes explaining difficult concepts easier. However, I have learned a lot more from a teacher that spoke almost no English and find that there are pros and cons to both.

    Professional Topics For Discussion - Marketing & Business

    Hi everyone;


    While teaching on iTalki for over a year, I have received numerous requests from students to discuss professional topics. As I am sure that many of you are business, IT professionals you may find these discussions useful. ( Hopefully)

    I wanted to talk about Social Networks in today's discussion, as outside of my iTalki life I am marketing and development consultant and this topic does not require much effort so forgive me if it's not something that you are interested in. 

    With the growth of social networks, we have seen various trends in usage and how those social networks are affecting today's' businesses. One of the newest trends that I have noticed was particular to B2B marketing trends, and that had to do with LinkedIn and websites similar to it. Various sites and platforms are popping up here and there like angel.co for startups and Wantedly.com in Japan. 


    Reliance on traditional social networks like Facebook is still in full force, however, is more central to consumer based marketing. When looking at international marketing trends, let's say Chinese WeChat (Weixin) platform, and how it uses mass linking capabilities, the division in how marketing works in other countries becomes more evident. "

    I would love to hear what some of you think about this?

    Would you rather choose a teacher that speaks your language or a teacher that doesn't? Would you prefer to study with a teacher that can communicate in your mother tongue as well as the language that you are learning or would you rather learn with a teaching that doesn't speak your language, thus encouraging you to communicate in the language that you're learning?

    Who else had a productive Christmas Day? Although it may sound cliche, I ended up working today. I am sure that many of the iTalki community members had to either work today or are simply not celebrating Christmas on December 25th thus haven't had a day off. What was your productive Christmas like?

    I would have to say that my plan is rather laid out too well. And you know what they say if you plan too well something is bound to go wrong! 
    I hope to finally pass the 1st level of JLPT.
