Hello! I'm Scott and I am a Senior in college that is majoring in Education. I am studying to be a teacher and am moving to Japan next year to teach English. I have been inside classrooms and have helped children and students in a variety of subjects. I am also tutored college students on a variety of subjects and hold weekly conversations with international students who are learning English, which provides them an opportunity to use the content that they have learned in conversation. I look forward to meeting you! :)

Scott continues to use the Japanese he has learned to continue to grow his speaking skills. It's always great to answer his eager questions about Japanese dramas. I am looking forward to the next lesson. :D

Scott is a bright and energetic student. I really admire Scott for how he makes time to study regardless of his busy schedule. We have been going over the Genki textbook. He goes over the text on his own time, then we go over the parts that he is unsure of. He is not afraid to make mistakes, quick to change corrections and makes it a point to use the words and phrases he has learned thus far. I know that his proactive attitude to learning and actively using the language will take him far. I also enjoy talking to Scott about all the Japanese shows he has been watching. :D His questions and comments are really fun. Keep up the good work. I am looking forward to seeing you in class. :D

Scott is a great student. He is not afraid to practice and make mistakes. He goes out of his way to form sentences. I thoroughly enjoy having lessons with him too. See you soon.

ありがとうございます。I'm very happy to hear that I am able to help you in a way that works for you. It was great to hear Scott-san proactively try and make sentences. Trial and error is one of the best ways to learn and I love that he is not afraid to make mistakes. I am looking forward to having a lesson with you again. Safe travels on your trip. See you soon.

    That is alright to say but it isn't very clear what you are trying to ask your students. I would possibly say, "What are your thoughts?" or "Do you have any ideas?" Hope this helps.

    Diary of my life in Canada　July 30

    After class, I went to a park to take pictures.
    One of my friends will get married this September, but I can' t go to the wedding party because I'm in Canada.
    So I want to send messages to her using my pictures.
    Actually, it was difficult to take pictures because I wanted to take pictures with the CN tower but there are many buildings in the area. I eventually gave up.

    Nowadays, I have more problems.
    When I talk to someone, I can't focus on my English.
    I try to, but I'm a shy. So I can't stop thinking about what they think about me.
    I care about what they think too much, so I become nervous when I talk to someone.
    I can speak if the person is my best friend, but I usually can't do that with someone I don't know.
    What should I do? How can I overcome this problem?

    Another problem is my pronunciation.
    Because of this problem, it is hard to communicate with my classmates.
    Especially, South American people.
    I'm from Japan, so I can communicate with Asian people, such a Korean or Taiwanese.
    We learn English together, so we talk in our second language.
    It makes me nervous when my classmates say "Sorry?" It means, they couldn't make sense of what I said.
    But it's natural because we're not native and we're learning English right now. It will happen to everyone. I just don't have any confidence. I know, if I want to have a confidence, I will make mistakes when I speak English. The only way that I can do that is by talking to people in English!

    Reading definitely helps! Also, watch TV shows in English with subtitles in your language. That can help you with your listening skills. In order to be a good speaker, find some English native speakers to practice your English on. They can help you make corrections and fine tune your speaking skills. :)

    Sleep, rest, and drink a lot of fluids. Sounds like you possibly may have the flu. Hope you feel better soon! :)

    "Absolutely" in the context means that you know without a doubt that the scenery is stunning and you know that whomever you are speaking to will think so as well. "Extremely" in the context means that you believe that the scenery is very stunning. In the context, you are using it to emphasize how stunning the scenery is. The other person may not think so but to you, it is.

    Yes! I agree with all of these. It all depends on what context you're using the word "head" in.

    Invented story

    Hello everybody!

    I've decided to write something to improve my English, so I'll write an invented story.

    It was a rainy day. This morning, I didn't feel well and I didn't know why. I had a huge headache. Everything around me was untidy. I tried to remember what had happened. Where had I been that night? I sat on my bed trying to remember it, but I couldn't. I watched myself in the mirror and I didn't recognize myself. That person isn't me.

    I was in my house and went to the kitchen. Someone had made breakfast. I really like coffee. There was a note that said, "Hello darling, thank you for the amazing night. See you on Sunday, don't forget about it." Who was that person? What is happening to me?

    I looked out the window and I saw my car parked at the corner. I thought that maybe there was an answer in my car, so I got dressed and I left my house after I drank my coffee.


    To be continued....
