Karin sensei, It took a long time to understand your letter this time, because I am in tea ceremony club and we are practicing for a festival in July. Do you know this festival?

Reply, sixth correspondence

Dear Miku, No, Americans don't really consider blood types into life planning, unless it is for medical reasons. I've had many conversations with Japanese friends though, being told many things about myself because of my blood type, which happens to be AB+. I never really retain what I am told, so I...

Letters Continued 5

Karin sensei, This letter was very challenging! I think I understand mostly. I decided to try 'wow me' so I told to Woody sensei, 'wow me' after my Maple Leaf class. (Girls wishing to home stay and study for five months in Western Canada are a part of the prepartory 'maple Leaf' class) He said 'How... Sign in to see full entry.

My dear Miku, I loved your letter for so many reasons! I was sent down a path of reminiscence, considering things I wouldn't have otherwise considered. I think these letters are good for both of us. Promise me you will 'WOW' your composition teacher with the English you learned here! This is our... Sign in to see full entry.

Letters Continued 3

Karin sensei Your letter was very difficult for me, but I did not ask my father a single thing! I used my electronic dictionary and learned many things! My father gave me an idiomatic expressions dictionary for English and I used it for the first time in my life! I found 'standing on a soap box',... Sign in to see full entry.

Letters Continued 2

Miku chan, You can call me Karin, at least inside this correspondence we have established a first name based relationship! But in Japanese, you don't call anyone simply by their first name, because it would be too familiar, presumptuous, every one has an attachment to the name giving them a place,...

Karin, I mean Ms Osada, I showed your letter to my father because I wanted him to explain some things to me. He likes you better now and tells me that I shouldn't call you Karin, that it is a sign of disrespect, I wish I didn't show him... But when I told him we called you Karin sensi, he said that...

Letters From an Ex-student Continued

Thank you Miku, Your e-mail message certainly has left me feeling good about having taught there! As for why I quit has nothing to do with any student, not a single one, not even the worst one.

Letters From an Ex-student

Teacher, I hope you don't mind my writing you like this. I got your e-mail address from Woody teacher, because I was shocked that you were not there to teach us any more. He said you only wanted to work here one year. I wanted to say thank you for one year. Do you remember me? I miss you! Morioka... Sign in to see full entry.

The Triple X Incident continued

The Yamada’s wanted to go out. The cool summer evening, one like so many that time of year in San Francisco, started out warmer from the Hotel in Oakland where they were staying. The subway station where they alighted from the train, hummed with people, six of whom were the Yamada group. It had... Sign in to see full entry.
