As for the Job

There are structured lessons that we have to teach. I am supposed to teach those lessons, and supposedly that is what the students pay for. So I try not to stray too far off from the book. However, the lessons are based on conversational knowledge of the language, and so I get to share a lot of interesting conversations with the students. I have already had conversations with students about movies, literature, Tokyo sights, and my personal interests. So besides giving the students a few basic structures, the job is actually kind of interesting. I enjoy learning about people, and the things that make them tick.
