Hello and welcome to this blog (ugly word isn't it?) I will try and explain here what the lesson system is like.
At the beginning there will be two classes. They will meet four times a month. At the moment there are only people from Odawara Nova (R.I.P.) All of them are level 3 and 4. One class will be on Wedneday morning in Odawara. The first class is on Nov.21st.The place is still to be decided,but I thought the first class will be in the coffee shop opposite Uo-Kuni Fishmongers. It is on the 2nd floor above the cake shop.(sorry,I don't know the name but it is roomy and cheap)The other class will be in Kayama at one of the students' houses. (maybe on Nov 22nd or 23rd) Still not sure. I will post the definite time and place ASAP. The 2nd class will be held in a variety of places and a variety of times to suit the students (not the teacher...smile). For example Kayama, Odawara, restaurant ,tea room, house etc.The students in both classes can join the other class if they want.
There are 8 classes in a month. If you want you can attend 6 of them . For example. If you are busy on your usual day, say Wednesday. you can attend the other class on Thursday. (No need to worry about your level!! This is not Nova and I know your levels better than anyone) If in the case of you can not attend another class, you can arrange it between yourselves and me and I will have the class on another day IF I am free.
I want to create a flexible class for you. I want you to get at least 4 classes a month.
The cost for 4 classes and 6 classes is the same.
I know you have all lost much money at Nova and I do not want you to have the same trouble twice.
The text...I would like to do the kind of things you would like to do. I will prepare a lesson for you if you prefer it,on subjects that are useful,difficult to understand or fun. I will make it or I will find something interesting from the internet or from other textbooks. If you prefer a textbook, that is also an option.
This site is for you to send mail in English to me or the other students. I will give you homework at times. Your answers you can send to my other email address of course as you might be embarressed!! Sending email in English is a good way to improve your sentence structure and grammar. You can also pick up new vocabulary.
If I prepare some lessons for you I can send you them by email or give them to you the week before.
You can also use this site to tell each other which lesson you can/can't go to etc.
It is for everyone to use. I will check it every day and reply or put up posts.
When I find out how, I will make it so you can make posts too.
At the moment you can only reply to my posts. But of course you can write anything you like.
You can use your real name or a handle (as long as I know who is who)
Kie Furusho, my neighbour,has been helping me with the organization of this . You can get in touch with her at :
