Teaching English in Japan :)

My personal experience of teaching english in Japan started off pretty strange. One day I was walking back to my host parents house on a hot day, I was a sweaty mess, my hair was in a big lazy bun on my head, glasses on, and the sweat it was really really bad.. but as I was walking a Japanese man pulled his car over right next to me out of nowhere!
He asked me several times, "do you speak english?? do you speak english??"
I told him I did and he offered me a job at his international preschool teaching english.
I was immediately stoked! A job teaching English, playing with cute kids, and a way to encourage these youngsters to expand their horizons and teach them about America.

So thats how i started working at

My class of Japanese Students :)

 This is my class of students! I taught 4 times a week, i would teach basic english to the youngest students (2,3,4 years old) and we would sing songs in english and practice colors, animals, and emotions. It was very fun going to this school because the students loved english and America :) They loved it when I told them new worlds or would say very American things like 'you're silly!' and 'you smell like a pig!' my students loved calling each other animals and our animal games were their favorite part of my lessons.

We taught the students geography and about other countries because their were teachers at this school from all over the world. In this picture above was my coworker Aunrag, he was from India. In the top picture was another teacher named Pingo and he was from Africa. The students were shown flash cards of the flags from each country, and we also had art activities were we made big flags from all over the world.

I was lucky to be asked to teach at this international school. Students and teachers here all loved teaching and learning about the world and all the unique properties each culture of their own has :)
