Hello all,
I hope that you can help me. I have a collegue who just transferred to the US branch of our company. He's doing really well, but his son is having a hard time adjusting at school. He says that his son's English isn't very good and he hasn't made any friends yet. Are there any suggestions that you can think of to help him overcome this hurdle? Do any of you have similar experiences? I think it would be a big relief for my co-worker if he didn't have to worry about his son so much.
Thanks in advance!

How old is the boy? My boy was in the same situation at 13 years old. We started to live in the U.S. in September and he had to spent terrible seasons. But in spring, when the baseball season started, it was changed vividly. Because he was an excellent player. His English was still poor, however, some teammates always supported him in and out of the class. I suppose that your friend's son must have something favorite. Please suggest him to join some activities in or out of the school.
That's great advice. I had a similar experience in college here. I wasn't able to make any friend in the first quarter. I must say I was pretty lonely. Then things started to change when I joined the school paper organization. The editors were all very friendly and helpful. That, and writing for the school paper, helped me tremendously in improving my English as well as my college life.

Thank you so much for your reply. My co-worker's son is 10. A pretty hard age. I'll definitely recommend participating in extracurricular activities. ^.^

Wow! You joined the school paper?! That's so cool. I don't think I'd have the courage to write articles in Japanese (or even French) because I know that I'm not nearly fluent. ^.^;; I think your English must've been really good to begin with, だいはど! ^_^

Wow, you had really understanding editors, then. I remember helping one of my classmates with a paper and it took me /ages/ to redo some of his sentences and still keep the general gist of what he was trying to say. ^.^;;
>Minna-san,
It looks like he's going to try out for the soccer team this spring, so I think that he'll make friends in no time. Thank you all for your well-wishes and your suggestions. Your responses are why I like mixi so much. ^_^ Honto ni arigatou gozaimashita!
