I hope everyone had a good time today!

Remember, you can listen to all different kinds of podcasts any time you want to listen to English for practice. I played some of my favorites today, but there are many more you can listen to at your leisure.

Don't forget there are plenty of movies you can watch in my office, too. Here's a trailer for one:

Good evening:D

first, sorry I was absent from before class(8/30) because I came back to Aomori from Osaka in the morning and I reached my home at 10:00. So I couldnt go to English class in time.

I read your comments...I wanna practece listening English too, but I wanna try to talk something in English.

However we dont have any time to prepare anyting...so...do you have any ideas?
if there are nothing to do next class, I wanna listen to English :)

More listening?

OK, you want more listening practice. Listening to podcasts is harder than listening to movies, since you can't watch. If you didn't know that before Thursday you should have learned it in the last class. The question is whether we try more of that or something else. Your comments welcome. :-)

tomorrow

Hi, everyone.
I would like to watch another movie tomorrow too.
Watching the movies is a good way to practice for reading, listening and vocab.
We chose some movies in our first class, and actually the simpsons and Chicago which we have already watched were my choices!
(maybe you guys also choose the simpsons)
So I would like to watch other movies which you guys chose.

And, I think we should do something after watching a movie...I mean, not just watching a movie...but I don't have any ideas ^^;
We should speak more...no?

thanks.

Tomorrow's Class

Hi,

Do you prepare for tests?
I have a lot of assignments;;
I cant do;;

Tomorrow's English class, what should we do?
Last week, we watched Russian movie, we practiced reading skill.
Tomorrow is writing or listening or speaking practice?

Shino, you wanna watch another movie, right?
I agree to you!! I'd like to watch a movie, especially English movie with English subtitles because I wanna practice reading and listening practice more!!

How about you, everyone?

tomorrow

hi guys, how are you?
id like to watch a movie which we've chosen several weeks ago.
i don't mind what kind of movie we are ganna have it.
how about you?

Have not seen you for a long time

Good morning. I haven't seen you guys and teacher for a long time. How was your first summer vocation. I hope it was wonderful.
First I need to apologize for being absent last week's English class. Because I was not in Japan. In my summer vocation, I went to Mongolia after 2 years. It is been a long time.  Last two years, there were lots of changes in Mongolia and I realized many things.
I wanted to come back here before beginning of university . But there was no ticket of 20 and so I bought only ticket of 24.  Therefore,  I could not get English class. I am so sorry.

I heard that you guys watched movie last class. But I do not know  what we do next class. I am glad if you answer this.

Here's the trailer

Sorry to add this after you've seen the film, but I hope it's interesting.

the movie

hi guys, good morning!

last time, the movie was so interesting, and easier to understand english than the simpsons!
derus is so smart, and has so much knowledges.
his skills are needed for living in that kind of environment.
i guess he means so much to the captain.
anyway i expect rest of the movie today.

see you soon

DERSU UZALA

Good evening, everyone!!

On Tuesday, we watched a movie "DERSU UZALA". This was Russian movie. Actors spoke Russian, so I couldn't understand what they said;; But English subtitles was on, this was easy to understand for me. I could understand the story of this movie.

DERSU UZALA helped soldiers and Captain of them. Yesterday's last scene, Captain told DERSU to come with them, but he refused. This scene means that he is proud of being a hunter, and he want to live in a place where his family died, I think. It was very interesting!!

In tomorrow's class, we will watch the rest of the movie, right?
I'm looking forward to it^^

thanks, see you tomorrow!!

Movie

Good evening, how is going everyone?

I enjoyed the movie yesterday.
It was interesting for me that listening to other languages because there's few chances to hear them except English.
I've seen a movie "Salt" before.
In that movie, Angelina Jolie was speaking Russian language.
I like it too.

I didn't understand some words in that movie but I've already got them by using dictionary.
I look forward to watching it again tomorrow.

See ya soon.

Hi everyone

I'm sorry that I hadn't been hare for a long time.
Last class on Tuesday, it was a good opportunity to know what the blues is.
In fact, it was the first time to think about it for me.

Why I'm here today is that I don't know what we are going to do tomorrow.
I think we would have writng test or something.
It is also last class just before the summer break.
If you want to do something else, please tell us.
Have a good night,

Shino

Recommend movie

Good morning guys

i want to share my favorite movies. These movies are ''Ugly Betty'' and ''One tree hill''.  It is very interesting and amazing. I saw all season and episode. ''Ugly Betty'' has 4season 85episode, '' One tree hill'' has 8 season and each season has 22episode. it takes much time if you see until the final season. But it is very interesting so recommend them.

And here is a site link, there are many movies in this site, of course included these two movies.

Have a good time and enjoy your weekend and Monday, yeah we have no class on Monday

Tomorrow ...

Good evening everyone.

I decided my report topic and it's about "Uti and Soto".
When I was young, my mother usually said "Uti is uti, soto is soto."
Japanese like to gather with Japanese and they(we) are reluctant to make a group with Yosomono(others).

This way of thinking is good but it leads to many problems, I think.

Thanks:)

Report topic

Good evening

My report topic is ''Japanese respectful language(honorifics 敬語)''.
A half year ago, I took a survey from foreigner students about their surprised things when they came in Japan. Most of students answered that  there were many honorifics and  Japanese respectful language was tiresome. And i think that too.
So i decided to write this topic.

To Saya...

See!
In fact, I was not sure about that.
I forgot what we were ganna research on our report...lol
I'm sorry, now I got it.

Shino

I guees...

Hi guys, how was this weekend?
I did nothing special as usual lol

Shino, Y mean that y will introduce one of "Japanese traditional stuff",right?
Well, that's a nice idea, but actually I meant debate about both bad and good sides about Japanese culture.
Anyway, that's fine!

I'm gonna write a report about ''Honne to(and) Tatemae''...maybe...
if i can...

have a good night

Shino
