So far, I have had good associates with many English speakers( Instructors of Akashi ESS or assistant language teachers of school) . It was always good touch to talk with them. But, I found now and then. The better my English skill becomes,the more I feel of the pain of parting.
Two years ago, I had a farewell party for Matio at Akashi ESS. He was a instructor of Akashi ESS for two years. He came to Japan seven years ago as a ALT of high school where I worked before. He was so humorous and happy. ( His originality is Italian. Maybe that's why.) So, we and my co-teachers drank together couple of times, went to kinosaki Onsen together, and etc and etc. And he taught me many naughty American words which I believe still he likes to use it now. On the parting day, I founnd my self so sad I had never before.
Anyway I could make a good associates with many Alts or instructors. Jenny, Mike, Will, Scott, Anne, petra.........and I could brush up my English each time. But............
OK. It cannot be helped. From coming April , We'll wellcome Abel as a new instructor. He is Australian. It'll be a very good ocassion to know another culture. (やっぱり 英語を勉強してて良かったわ。）
