「レッスン(英会話)には何が必要？」

"DETERMINATION" and "PATIENCE" are the most important factors in learning and teaching English (to my knowledge). Especially, when the students happened to be very, very, and very small.

For example, I had a class with three students with all four years old. This is not easy at all. Particularly, this class, there is this one student with high motivation in learning English. What we do between them and myself, is a repetition (over and over)!

It's been almost 12 months teaching this kindergarten kids. Finally, they have shown some kind of improvement. Now, I must focus not just the kids but the mothers as well. They don't realize the fact that their children has the ability and capability to learn just like having a sponge inside their brain.

One of my favorite scenes from a movie, "NOTTING HILL."
"The fame thing isn't really real, you know. And don't forget, I'm also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her."

「やるよ、けどさ…」

なんだかな～！毎日がつまらんな〜！やっぱり理由は；
①: 脳出血(15年)
②: コロナウィルス

①の対処法は？
➊1にリハビリ、2にもリハビリ、そして3から死ぬまで永遠にリハビリ。
➋しかし、考えるとゾッとする人生だ。
➌何か他に出来ないのか？障害者にはまともな仕事はない。何故日本は我々(身体障害者)に安定と保証をくれないのか？チャンスすら無い！
➍いっそ自分が政治家になって変えないといけんのか(it's a joke)？
➎とにかく、右手、右足、左脳(と、言うより脳🧠全部)を日々動かさないといけない！

②何故まだ、注射の順番が来ない？！
This is so unfair!!! For example, my baby sister had her first shot because she is in a big corporation. How ridiculous this system is!!! When is my turn???

First scene from "TREMORS"
"STAMPEDE, STAMPEDE, STAMPEDE"

「時代なのか？！」

私の幼少時、何にましても優先時は子供だった。要するに当時に置き換えると、それはまさしく僕と妹だった。おそらく私達兄妹だけではなく、近所の連中も同じだった筈だ。

しかし、時代が違うのか、価値観も違うのか、一回り下の人間と会話をすると、だいぶ「ズレ」が生じる。

On the same token, to certain degree, I also feel some degree of "DISCREPANCIES" towards the younger generations. So in reality, perhaps generation does not matter.

Moreover, what I truly believe is not the "GENERATION," but "INDIVIDUALITY." Therefore, I will try to focus more on each and every students.

P. S.
"Saved by the bell."
It's rather a popular idiom (also widely known sitcom in US). "Something that one say when a difficult situation ends suddenly before he/she has to do or say something that he/she does not want to do."

「もう……」

一応私個人のルールだったのですが…なんでもいいから毎日、日本語だろうが、英語だろうが「ブログ: 書く」事を大前提だったのが、昨日は書けなかった。

と言うより、いつのまにか寝ていた。もう本当に梅雨は勘弁してくれ！未だに若干やはり身体はしんどいよ…

I believe there are three lessons today which I must finish. Perhaps, I may have to take a nap around noon. Even though I would never and ever admit, but am I getting old? NO WAY!!!
