Free Talk 2-3 PM 1 Student
We spoke about the difference between Shijo and Umeda, as this was my first time to teach in Umeda, but have lead the student's class in Shijo in the past.
We spoke about Qatar, Michigan, the Great Lakes, Biwako, New York, the business of flying, Christmas and New Year, and the concept of "hindsight"
Keywords:
Hindsight
Valley
Autumnal
Foresight
Buck's Fizz
★Travel Practice 7-8 PM 1 Student
We spoke about asking for directions and a little bit about safety in foreign countries; Japan is a lot safer than other places, and perhaps I could talk at length about being cautious abroad.
We spoke about Canadian foods, and other famous icons of Canada. Upon being asked about my country, we went through a rough guide to England and the famous landmarks of each region; such as London, Cornwall and the Cornish Pasty, Liverpool and the Beatles, the Lake District and Peter Rabbit, Scotland and Shortbread, and Wales and the interesting language.
Keywords:

As no one came, I used this time to research some things and plan some interesting ideas for a Christmas themed class (or two!) I will hold in Otsu next month. I'll keep VELCO updated, I'm sure it would be worth the trip to Otsu!
