Tonight's リアル☆ class was a review of At the Airport. We discussed experiences at the customs and security areas, as well as dialogue and vocabulary related to travel by plane.

In Free Talking tonight we discussed security in the workplace - data encryption, theft and job loss.
Also travel abroad, places we would like to visit in 2016 - including the US.

The word encrypt means 秘密の状態にさせること
But crypt means 地下室, especially for a tomb in a church.

Good evening!

Tonight there was only リアル☆ as we had the Halloween party in the Umeda classroom. Our topic tonight was "In the Playground". We got nostalgic talking about our childhoods, and the ways we used to play as kids.
Did you have, or play in a tree house as a child?
I played a lot of Four Square as a child. Do you know what this game is? The link will take you to an explanation in Japanese.

Good evening!

Tonight's topic in リアル was "In the CBD". Those three letters stand for "central business district". So in Osaka, that would be an area such as Umeda which has a lot of big office buildings and company headquarters.

I had a trial student, so we talked a lot about his time in England, and seeing soccer matches too.
