Onlne lesson 6

This is my 6th online lesson.

Today's members are 4 (including me), three guys and myself.
I am also the only woman this time.

First of all, we enjoy small talk.

How are you going to spend your Golden Week Holidays?

I am going to stay in Sendai from April 30th through May 3rd.
I want to eat beef tongue. As you know, Sendai is famous for beef tongue, so there are a lot of restaurants which offer tasty beef tongue. I also want to visit the Aoba-jo castle to see a group of Japanese samurai chracters named "Date Busho Tai."
They perform a sword danse and join a lot of events for tourists.

After that, we try to make one sentence.

宝くじに当たって、働かなくても生活できるのが夢

My fantasy is to win the lottery and live without working.(It's mine)
I have a dream. I win the lottery and can live without working.
I have a dream. I want to live without a job by winning the lottery
It's my dream to hit the lottery and not to work anymore.

Then we talk about "What is your ideal lifestyle?"

I was born and grew up in Osaka. Since I got married, I have lived in Kobe for twelve years.
Kobe is my second hometown. This city is famous for fashion, food, wine and culture. I enjoyed the ocean view and the mountain view, both of them. There are many foreigners who live there.That's why I think it is my ideal lifestyle to live in Kobe.

Nothing is impossible if you keep dreaming!
Someday I will return there...

Online lesson 5

This is my 5th online lesson.

Today's members are 3 (including me), two guys and myself.

First of all, each makes one sentence by using "Did you~?"
Then we pratice how to use "Did you~?"

Did you have a good weekend?
Did you play sport?
Did you enjoy watching baseball games?

After that, we try a kind of game: True or False.
Each makes one sentence by using ""be good at~".

I am good at speaking french. Is that true or false?
It is false. I've been learning french for four years, but I can't speak it smoothly.
I am not a french-learning beginner, but I think it will take more time to be better at speaking it.

And by using "I think ...." , "Personally, I thnk..." and "In my opinion, I think ....", we try exchanging comments.

I think that the best baseball player in the world is Sadaharu Oh because he got a lot of homeruns.

At last, we try to make one sentence: 試行錯誤を繰り返して成功した

I repeated challenge and error and I succeeded.
I tried hard to do(doing) it many times and I got a success.(It's mine)
I did it many times and thought of it many times and I got success.

These are useful expressions:

I did it!
I made it!
That's great!!!
 I think so, too. (相槌)

Online lesson 4

This is my forth time to take an online lesson.

Today's members are 4 (including me), three men and myself.

First of all, we ask some questions and answer them.

A visited Kyoto to join a bus tour with other members who learn English.
Kyoto is famous for a lot of foreign tourists.
B has just moved from Tokyo to Ehime to enjoy a slow life with his family.
There are no convience stores and no supermarkets near his house, but he looks so happy.
C likes eating corbohydrate foods such as rice, bread and pasta.
He enjoys ramen at a food stand.

When A asks me if I had breakfast, I answer, "I have neither breakfast nor lunch. I only have dinner. I started doing a kind of fasting last october." Other members seem to be very suprised.

After that, we talk about "Is there a nice place to visit near your house?"
As for myself, I can see Mt.Sengen (very short, a hill rather than a mountain) from my livingroom.
There are beautiful yellow flowers on the mountain in spring. People who like flowers often visit there in this flower's season, in spring.The flower's name is Nikko-kisuge.

Then we try to make one sentence.

日本は島国なので意外と外国人恐怖症の人がいる

Many Japanese people are afraid of foreigners because Japan is an island country.(It's mine)
Because Japan is an island, there is weak feeling for foreigners in Japanese people's mind.
Most of Japnese people are not good at talking with foreigners.
(Because A has to do something, he is off at 11:00.)

After that, I ask some questions to them and they ask me some.
A is interested in a slow life, so he is going to move to Ehime.

Then we try to make some sentences.

But you are late for the seminar.  You have to call and ask if you can join it late.
And you have to tell why you are late.
