I have no any ideas of this. You may find it in the future how you can do that. I really wanna go to abroad, travel around the world. But I can’t as i don’t have lots of money. I just really believe and I am sure that i can do it in the future

yes, of course we will never know what are our students going to write. I like learning English and also teaching English for my students. Learning English is very complicated for me. I sometimes doesn’t really believe that people who learn in any foreign languages for many years feel so satisfied with their ability. I don’t know why, I just feel that learning English is sometimes confusing me.

While I taught ESL and EFL for over twenty years I have also studied history. The dilusion that English is forever the world second language, the world Lngua Franca, is the same one that the Germans (under the military strength of Bismarck, and the brains of Marx, Einstein and Freud) thought, what the French thought for centuries from Napolean onwards. For those seeking something other than the repetion of history, learn Esperanto, a movement glued to idealism and non-violence.

I wonder how funny we would be if we tried to learn Japanese. It is funny to see how some people cope with learning an new language. I know I have had my screw ups when learning Italian and Spanish.

Learn the language Esperanto. It will bring much more intimacy to the world than English. I say it as a speaker of both (and several other languages.). There is a dialogue on this at this website.

I miss seeing hilarious things like that. I, too, was an English teacher in Japan and the “Engrish” and writing assignments were highlights for me. Loved it!

By the way, in Japanese “pants” means underwear.

I once taught English to Korean students and like your Japanese students, it’s also hilarious and sweet.

AMAZING!!! I used to teach in Tokyo and this is the type of stuff I experienced on a day-to-day basis.

I kept a book of funny quotes from students. It’s classic.

Thanks for sharing! It brought me right back to Japan.

@Lin I have a bunch of great ideas for you and your travel. Get in touch if you are interested.
