はーい。すでに半年が経過。
改めて、一念発起ここに！！（笑）
やっとすこーし時間ができたので、この夏から週1更新を目指します。
というか、自分があまりに日本語から離れていて、単語、熟語、漢字、まったく思い出せないことも。。。（恥）
というわけで、自分を戒めます。書かねば！！
和英訳の練習もしたいので、時間があるときは（そしてコンテンツによっては・・・）両方で書いてきます。
最近中上級者を教え始めたので、こんなの読むのも彼女らのいい勉強に・・・ならないかな？？？
Heeeeeey... ouch it's been just about half a year since my last post here!
Well. I am putting my NEW resolution here.
I am finally finding a bit more time every day (first time since... forever), so I am now aiming to put a post weekly.
TBH I have been having trouble with my memories when I try speaking / typing / translating... I have been too far away from JAPANESE (even though I teach my students the language!!! lol) like I seriously need to go over my vocabulary, idioms, kanji, etc.
So. I have to admonish myself.
I have recently started teaching intermediate & advanced students, and maybe they can learn through this blog...??? NO?
そうそう。
日本語はずーっと教えています。
今教えてる生徒たちの半数以上とは、もう数年にわたるお付き合い。そこに最近数名加わりました。
2006年に日本語教師の資格を取って、それから（日本に住んだ2年以外は）ずっと教えているので、もう13年。
昔夢に描いたお仕事を、こんなに長くさせていただけているのって本当にありがたいです。
最近は一番進んでいる生徒のレッスン中に、説明に困る文法が出てきたりして、ここでもまた私自身のお勉強・・・
By the way,
I have been teaching Japanese this whole time since I moved here.
I had gone to the school and gotten certified as a Japanese teacher in 2006 and started teaching shortly after. Which makes it to... 13years! (We have lived in Japan for a couple years - I didn't teach those times)
I am very fortunate that I have made my dream come true, and have been doing this as my career this long.
My most advanced student has been bringing some grammars to explain to her that I had never put much thought on (well because everything makes sense as a native speaker and we don't really think of 'why' unless someone like her asks us!)
Again, I have been learning myself too!
今年の夏は暑い・・・。世界中どこもこうなのかしら。
プールが大活躍。
Is it only here, or everywhere else too, that is having a crazy hot summer...???
Our pool has been totally loved.
左の子は次男の友達。
先週は、私がお役所から怒られたり、旦那の裁判問題がまた顔を出したり、
まー色々大変でした・・・
なかなか、うまくいかない。
でも落ち込む暇があったら、はったらけー。です。
さーて子供のランチ作って、スカイプでレッスンだ。
皆様、よい一日を！
We had quite a week, and sometimes I feel low.
Buuuuut I have no time to be depressed, just need to move forward.
Gotta make kids' lunch and teaching on skype this afternoon!
Have a good one everyone :)
