The first lesson(英語の寸評)

アーロン先生って(ナイショ)……

日本のことをいっぱい本を読んでいたので、たいがいのことには驚かなかったのだそう。
やっぱり「予習」は大事!

Words to Miyo

Start from “I’ll Try!”

Before starting, you described your own English ability as “shockingly (驚くほど)bad”.

I think it will be helpful to be more positive, less negative: if you start from “I can’t”, you’ll end at “I can’t”.

Start from “I’ll try it–let’s go!”

Charting a Course

We discussed our curriculum plan: part reading Japanese literature in English translation (Soseki’s Kokoro), and part other materials. It’s an ambitious plan.

I like that.
