More introductions today, and they all went well
This is a picture from the first-year English textbook. In the book, the new English teacher is Ms. Green from Toronto, Canada. When she does her introduction and is asked if she can speak Japanese, she says "sukoshi", which means "a little". I get asked this exact question over, and over and over, and they all start cheering when I answer "sukoshi". It's absolutely hilarious, the kids love it and it's the truth! I do speak a little Japanese! Have a great weekend everyone. I'll be camping at a electronic/trance festival and probably won't get much sleep ;-)

Erin,
"Sukoshi" - a familiar phrase from
your Japanese childhold - one of the very first responses your Irish-Canadian mother used - and often! - especially when invited to partake of "tako" (octopus), but we sure have we've grown since then!
Now, it's a case of wondering what the opposite is of "sukoshi"!
(well, maybe with the exception of
tako.)
