Joe's Classes

I was so busy this week that I wasn't able to update my blog entries for classes. If you have any questions, please e-mail me or reply to this entry.
Sorry for not writing this week.
Talk to you all soon, Joe.

Good evening everyone! It was great seeing all of you. Actually, Akihiro finally made it to class after a long time, so it was very nice seeing and talking with him. Also Shiho made it to class tonight, which was great too. After giving you a bunch of information, we studied irregular simple past verbs and did some simple past grammar exercises. I tested you at the end to see how much you could remember and you almost did a prefect job! Next week we'll have a simple past "regular and irregular" verb quick quiz! Good luck! Okay, see you next week everyone. Until then, take care!

Good evening everyone! Thank you all for coming to class. Actually, we had a visitor tonight, Atsuya, so it was having someone different in class. I thought we may end up with a small class, but some students were just late. Tonight we started the one-on-one interviews. Yuki, Yasuyo and Ayane are now all finished. You all did a great job. We also worked in the textbook and started the new lesson. Next week we will continue on with this unit. Take care and have a good week everyone! Bye for now!

Good evening everyone! How are you all doing? Well, it was great seeing you all in class and it was a lot of fun talking to Hiromi about her trip to Toyama to go hiking. What an adventurer! But it's a shame that it rained so much on her trip. After an open group discussion, I gave you a grammar quiz to test your ability to find mistakes in sentences (it was also a review of last week's grammar). You all did a pretty good job! Then we worked on the new unit to lean the importance of giving more information in order to communicate better. You all seemed so tired after the lesson was finished. Please take care! We will continue on with this unit next week. Have a wonderful week everyone! Bye!

Hello everyone! How are you all doing? Wow, another small class of only three this morning. But I had a great time seeing you and talking with you in class. It was fun! We had an open class discussion at first and I really think you've all improved so much since the beginning of the semester. You're all doing such a wonderful job! Please keep up the great work! After the discussion, I gave a kind of grammar quiz to check how well you can find mistakes in sentences. Then we worked in the textbook and started the new lesson. We'll continue on with this lesson next time. So take care and have a good week and I'll see you all in class next time. Bye for now!
