“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.” Earl Shoaff

What are your speaking goals?

When you think of the word 'goals' - what comes to mind?

Here is my definition. A goal is a specifically defined positive result you aim until achieved with unwavering faith and complete determination of success!

Thinking of this definition - how can you 'fit' your spoken English goal into this formula?

It enabled me to become the best English teacher among 11 thousand teachers. It can help you too.

Send me a copy of your goals, let me be your accountability partner for now.

To Your Success

Dialogue for acquaintance - حوار للتعارف - 9

みなさんはもう夏休みを取りましたか？私は9月2日から9月19日まで夏休みを取って、パートナーとイタリアに行きます。海で泳いだり、おいしいものを食べるのが楽しみです。
ちなみに学生は「休みを取る」とあまり言いません。なぜなら「休みを取る」とは自分でいつ休むかを決めた場合に使うからです。
「休みを取る」と「休む」は少し意味が違います。

何かの理由があって学校や会社に行けないときは「休む」を使います。
「体調が悪いので学校を休みます」「今日は風邪で仕事を休みました」と言います。
また、自分以外の誰かが休んでいる時は
「今日、先生は休みです」「彼は今日休みだよ」と言います。
また、お店が閉まっている時にも
「今日あのお店は休みだよ」と言います。

休むには「休憩する」という意味もあります。
「疲れたからちょっと休みましょう」と言われたら、「疲れたから少し休憩しましょう」という意味です。

みなさんは「ズル休み」をしたことがありますか？「ズル休み」とは休む理由がないのに、休むことです。
雨が降っている時やとても寒い時は外に出るのが、面倒でズル休みしたくなりますよね。

みなさんは夏休みどこに行きましたか？そこで何をしましたか？
よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えてください。


体調が悪い：たいちょうがわるい　I don’t feel good, I feel sick
休憩する：きゅうけいする　take rest
面倒だ：めんどうだ　I can’t be bothered
理由：りゆう　reason

Nihongo Short Story by Noriko

休みを取る-Today’s Word

Describe a story somebody told you and you remember

You should say:

Who told you the story
What the story was about
Why do you remember it

And explain how you felt about it.







“I guess I probably heard many stories back when I was a little kid, but the one that has always stuck in my mind is a story my grandfather told me when I was maybe about 7 or 8 years of age. My grandfather, who was an incredibly kind and loving person was however,  a man of few words…but when he had something to say, it was usually something worth remembering, and something very interesting about his own life growing up back in the day.

I remember it was Christmas time when he told me this story about his life, when he was about the same age as I was at the time, and how life was so different back then. He told me how when he was growing up, the family were very hard up and often strapped for cash, and were not able to have a proper Christmas dinner like most families today. 

He went on to tell me how both of his parents had to work every god given hour, pinching every penny, so they could just put enough food to survive on the table.

It’s a story I have always remembered, and often think about, even today. It reminds me of how lucky and privileged I was growing up, in a pretty well off family, never wanting for anything. I still feel thankful to this day, when i stop to think of the sacrifices that my grandparents and their parents before them had to make so we can live the lives we have today.


Thank you…”

بَلّش عَصْر الإِنْتَرْنِت بالسِّتِينَات أو السَبْعِينَات خِلَال الحَرْب البَارْدِة بَين رُوسْيَا وأمْرِيكَا.
طَبعًا بَلّش بالجَيش الأَمْرِيكِي وكَان الهَدَف هو التَوَاصُل مَع الوُزَارَات.
بِشَكِل عَام, الإِخْتِرَاعَات أول شِي بِتْبَلِّش بِالجَيش وبَعْدَين بْتِنْتِقِل للنَاس.
بِالتْمَانِينَات صَار الإِنْتَرْنِت مَسْمُوح بَين النَاس.
وبِالتِسْعِينَات إِنْتَشَر الإنترنت وصَار كتير نَاس يِسْتَخْدِمُوه.
وبِبِدَايِة القَرْن الحَالِي الإِنْتَرْنِت وِصِل لأَغْلَب البْلَاد تَقْرِيبًا.
حَالِيًا, الإِنْتَرْنِت صَار مَوجُود بِكِل بَيت ومُهِم كتير للحَيَاة اليَومِيِة.
وبَعَد كُورُونَا كْتِير نَاس صَارُوا يِسْتَخْدِمُوه مْشَان الشِغِل.
