Tonight I will finally get around to seeing OH Lucy! It is a movie I have been wanting to see for quite some time now. It's about an English teacher named JOHN who is smart, cool, and funny.
Do you know the website, "Rotten Tomatoes"? It is famous for listing movie reviews. Many people check this website to see if a movie is good or not before they watch it. This movie has a rating of 88%. You can check the website here ----> https://goo.gl/59R929

May 30, 2018 Listening Challenge!
クラスありますよー。
1. Click below to listen.
2. Challenge yourself!
Yesterday, one of my xxxxxxxx told me a story about her xxxxxxxx class. She said that in the beginning, there were many members, but as time went on, many of them xxxxxxx xxx. The reason was that the instructor's xxxxxxxxx were too difficult. However, she said she didn't drop out because she likes a xxxxxxxxx. I think that is great! Sometimes, some of my students want only xxxx English lessons. If the lessons are always easy, you won't xxxxxxxx. It is important to challenge yourself!

Yesterday, one of my students told me a story about her aerobics class. She said that in the beginning, there were many members, but as time went on, many of them dropped out. The reason was that the instructor's workouts were too difficult. However, she said she didn't drop out because she likes a challenge. I think that is great! Sometimes, some of my students want only easy English lessons. If the lessons are always easy, you won't progress. It is important to challenge yourself!

May 28, 2018 Pick-up Sticks
Do you ever wonder why はし are called ”chopsticks” ? I mean, they don't chop; they pick up things like sushi and french fries. I they はし should be called "pick-up sticks". That reminds me of a game that I used to play when I was a child called "pick-up sticks". The goal was to pick a stick with a magnet one by one without disturbing the other sticks. It was fun. Click here to see a video.
Have a marvelous day!

May 27, 2018 Back on track
クラスありますよー。
I had the day off yesterday. I also took the last two days off from exercising. Now, it is so hard to get started again. I work up early this morning to do a little exercise, and it was like pulling teeth. Now I am on the train dragging my butt to work. Sometimes I think it is easier to work every day because it is so hard to get back on track after taking a break.
Anyway, have a super day!

May 26, 2017 OOPS!
Oops. I forgot to do a post. It completely slipped my mind. I hope I'm not getting alzheimer's or dementia. Sometimes I think I would forget my head if it wasn't attached to my body. Anyway, I'm off!

May 23, 2018 Drink Trump!
クラスありますよ！
A student of mine shared this photo with me. She received it as a souvenir from her friend in the U.S. I wonder what it tastes like. I'm sure it must have an orange flavor and a thin taste. It probably has secret ingredients from Russia. I don't think I could swallow anything from TRUMP.
Have a wonderful day!

May 20, 2018 Pandas
クラスあります！
Two Pandas in Vienna
Do you like pandas? Japanese people seem to be crazy about pandas. However, they are not my cup of tea. I have never seen the pandas in Ueno. They are always sleeping, anyway! Maybe if one day they start dancing, I will go see them.

May 18, 2018 人間折り紙
クラスありますよー。
This morning the air doesn't look very clear. It is quiet hazy outside, and I have the sniffles. Allergies, I think.
Recently I have been thinking about trying YOGA. For exercise, I usually go running and do weight training several times a week, but I don't do any stretching. I think my upper body is quiet flexible, but my hamstrings feel tight and sometimes I have back pain. I think YOGA looks like human origami, ha ha.

Have a fabulous day!

I think the train driver must be new. He doesn't stop smoothly at the station. The train jerks and stops suddenly. I feel like I am getting seasick, lol.

May 13, 2018 Mother's Day
Private Lessons Today!
I think it is strange in Japan, people only say "Happy Mother's Day" to a woman if she is their mother. In my country, we say it to any mother.
My mother passed away several years ago. Sometimes I see her in my dreams. She used to say that if you see a person in your dream, then it means that the person came to visit you. After my parents got divorced, she worked 2, sometimes 3 jobs while taking care of my brother and I. At that time, I didn't think about how hard she worked, but now I do. I think all mothers work very hard with no days off!

May 12, 2018 Mary Poppins
クラスありますよー。
Did you know there is s new Mary Poppins movie coming out? When I was a child, I had to watch it many times because my mother watched it over and over again. I hated musicals because I thought they were boring and wanted to watch cartoons instead, but now I really love musicals. My favorite musical is Moulin Rouge. Anyway, there is a word in the movie that is one of the longest words in the English language. Watch this video and see if you can find it. Have a super Saturday!
Here is the trailer for Mary Poppins 2.
