New Friends

Now I have new friends in my workplace. Their names are, Hana, Suzu and Yuna. However, they are too much younger than me - 5 years old. 　

Just look back on 2 weeks ago....  at the community center in which I teach English to my students.

Hana, who learnt calligraphy upstairs,  talked to me from the behind, "Are you a teacher?"
I said, "Yes, I am."

"I want to learn English....."
"OK, you can come to me before my lesson starts."

And then, she brought her friends to my room.  That is the beginning between Hana and me.


However, Hana is a just 5 year old girl whose mother doesn't allow her to learn English at the moment.  Yes, I understand, because English is not our mother tongue.  These kind of girls should learn mother tongue before starting the second language. I agree, but it is a bit sad.

But I told Hana and other girls to come to me every Monday.  Just playing with them would be nice.  Not force them to learn languages.  But I know they will learn something through playing.　I am looking forward to seeing my new little friends next Monday.

Helping Out for Nick Lowe's Interview

Image
In the beginning of May, which was middle of the Golden Week Holidays in Japan, my friend asked me to help out English translation for an interview with Nick Lowe. To be honest, I didn't know about him. However, when I researched him, his music, I could hear familiar sound, which kind of reminded me of life in somewhere overseas, maybe London.  According to Wikipedia, he is a founder of Pub Rock, which ended up creating Punk Rock. I got too excited, which caused my mind to go blank! However, Nick was so sweet reading a manuspript of the interview which I translated into English and answered the questions to Mike who was an interviewer. The interviewer, Mike Koshitani whose English was fantastic! He described himself too modest, I mean, he learnt English through rough conversation with native English speakers. That is an ideal way because you can learn real English. His English sounds natural. Even he could be an English teacher in junior high schools, I'm sure. He wrote an ar...

JAPAN

Japan,   It's very unique but incomprehensible. For example, Manga, which is Japanese culture. But its characters has bigger eyes than typical Japanese. Actually I am not a fan of manga any more.   Maybe it because I was just too faithful for school teachers who seemed to have bad ideas about manga. What they said that manga should disturb students learning, badly influence to their growth or it could be childish.  I ended up developing the idea about manga like this,   "Only teenagers read manga." Spontaneously I put a bit negative image to manga in my mind.  Today, I visited World Cosplay Summit was held in Nagoya, Japan. "Cosplay" can be interpreted "costume play".  Wearing costumes of manga, you would become the character of your favourite manga.  As if you came out of the comic book.   However what made me surprised was that participants were not teenagers, but they were "salaryman", which is Japanese-English, employe...

久しぶりの読書会♪　

Image
今日は久しぶりの読書会でした。読書会メンバーは私よりもずっと若い世代の方たちだけど、 本もよく読んでるし、話もよく聞いてくれるし、人のことを悪く言ったりとか、そういうことが全くなくて、とっても気持ちよく付き合える仲間。 今日読んだ本は、『質屋の女房』（安岡章太郎）。いろんな男女の人間関係が描かれた短編集。時代は戦前から戦後。すべてが同じ人が書いたとは思えないくらい様々な視点から書かれている作品。その中の本題と同じタイトルの『質屋の女房』は、ある青年が質屋の女房に抱いた淡い恋心を描いた話。最終的に青年に召集状が届く。 この前、オンライン英会話教室で、小野田さんの記事を読んだばかりだったから、日本兵のことを考えていた。当時の人たちはすごいな。この『質屋の女房』の青年も複雑な気持ちだったに違いない。でも、召集状されることにより、踏ん切りがついたのかもしれない。 今日の読書会では、読書以外の話もした。久しぶりに会うメンバーだったし、自分もその間、いろいろあったからつい色々話してしまった。 「若い人」についての話があった。私も職業柄、若い人たちと関わっている。若い人たちは、まだ経験不足だけど、その分、想像力が私たちより長けている。 「若いとき」は、その時しかないから、精一杯生きるのがいいと思う。そこに誰かがいじめたりとか、あってはならない。だって、「若い時」はその時しかないから。自分もいじめられた経験があるけれど、「時間を返してほしい」と思ったことがあるし、時々ふとそう感じてしまうことがある。『質屋の女房』の青年も、戦争に行ってそのあとどうなったのだろう？何だか気になってしまった。 *全然、内容には関係ないけれど、帰りの車で、たまたまWhitney Hustonの曲を聞いた。これをよく聞いていたのは、自分が十代のころだと思う♪
