Gift for Ebisu-sensei. She is our favorite teacher, she is lots of fun, and I feel we get the most speaking practice and grammar lessons during her classes.
Again we went to the English club, gave them some more books, gave Beniko-sensei a gift, talked to Beniko-sensei about the students. She’s worried because she’s offered up this time to teach the students for free, and none of them seem motivated to study at all. I wish I could think of a way to motivate them, especially because English is becoming even more widespread. Beniko-sensei told us that recently 2 large Japanese corporations declared that by 2013 they would be operating in English (speaking English at the office, all documents in English). Apparently this has been happening in places around Europe, especially Germany.
Later in the evening, we had Kazu, Akiko, and Yuka over for dinner. Mia made Mulagatani which was delicious, and we chatted about Japanese/English, anime, our jobs, I showed them pictures of the family in Italy, it was a lot of fun. And we gave them their presents, look!
It was a great evening.
