My name is Mike and I'm a Canadian guy who teaches English
in Tokyo. I've lived here for six years and I lived in
South Korea for six years before this. I love teaching
English and have started writing a blog to help people
understand and learn natural English expressions.
Please check it out:
To Any Private Language Teachers!
Are you teaching your students in a cafe? Is it annoying?
I am a Chinese teacher and I teach in my space along with others.
It is a new, nice, cozy space for teaching/lessons! (Much better than cafes)
You can use it with us.
If you are interested, please check my homepage and give me a E-mail.

New English Japan Info Site. English contributions wanted!
Hi everyone. I just wanted to introduce you to an English-language Japan info site
I and some friends have been developing, called the Essential Japan Guide.
http://www.essential-japan-guide.com/
The original goal of EJG was to provide useful travel tips for first-time
Japan travelers and people with little or no previous knowledge of Japan,
but we're now implementing social networking functionality that will
enable us to hopefully go beyond our initial aim and build the site into
one of the Web's ultimate Japan info resources and social communities.
The Essential Japan Guide is looking for Japan insiders like you to contribute
what you know and love about Japan in order to build EJG into an active
social community of Japan enthusiasts who share their enthusiasm
and insider's knowledge of Japan. To that end we have also created a
Mixi community for the site. Please join!
http://mixi.jp/view_community.pl?id=4946873
Inside the EJG community site you'll find topic with links to pages on which
you can contribute your own unique content in English.
Right now we're looking for reviews of your favorite restaurants and dining spots in Japan.
We hope that EJG will turn into an exciting community of Japan enthusiasts like you.
Thanks in advance for allowing me the space to introduce the site,
and we look forward to your participation and contributions!
Well, my friend asked me to look for an English teacher who has knowledge of the website art direction. She's been doing the computer job for ten years, and has many times to see English terms and English sentences. However, she understands a little English. If you are interested in teaching English, please contact with me.

This is an English-learning blog I write called PhraseMix. A lot of the lessons have Japanese translations, as well as easy-to-understand lessons in English:
http://www.phrasemix.com
Here's an example lesson:
-------------
Your boyfriend seems to be angry at you. He's acting rude to to you, and you don't know why. You want to let him know that you're annoyed by his behavior, and start an argument. You say:
What's your problem?
This is a phrase that you use to start an argument with someone who's acting angry or rude. "What's your problem?" means "Why are you acting that way?" But when you ask someone "What's your problem?" it sounds like you're criticizing them, so it usually makes people get angrier and start to argue with you.
People usually say "What's your problem?" to family members or people that they're in a relationship with. But some people would also use this when talking to a stranger who really made them angry.
You should not use this phrase to ask about someone's health. If someone seems to be sick, ask:
What's wrong?
Also ask "What's wrong?" if someone seems sad, frustrated, or frightened.
I ask you to fill in the following questionnaire. --for woman--
As I published the book "mote shigusa 99" last year, which was about how to become an attractive woman,
http://www.chukei.co.jp/general/detail.php?id=9784806138563
I am planning to write another book for men as well this year.
I would like to know how Japanese men can improve their attitude/behavior to get more attentions from women.
Especially, I notice that there are many Japanese females who are dating foreign males; however, there are only few males who have foreign girlfriends.
I would like to know why to get more ideas to complete the book. Please help me out by answering few questions.
What is your occupation?
What is your age?
What is the age range for someone you would date?
Why do you think there are less foreign females who date Japanese male compared to foreign males who go out with Japanese females?
What are the good and bad features of Japanese males?
Good:
Bad:
Good to know the right situation to use those phrases though my boyfriend would say "Nothing" even when I use "What's your problem?" and "What's wrong?" properly
Check out our podcast, "Love from Korea & Japan" where a Japanese & Korean person discusses happenings in Japan & Korea along with some love advice and everything else in between, please let us know what you think.

Now...am I already drunk? Which is it? Two drinks or one?
Well, you'll hafta tell the staff at the entrance that you are either in
a costume, or you're gonna get dressed inside. Then, voila, one drink
turns into two drinks. Oh, I enjoy the majical spirit of Halloween soo much.
BTW, there's another band, a Heart tribute band, (yes, nancy and ann wilson
