A New Job Offer

I got a job offer from a language institution to teach a Japanese beginner’s class. My Chinese friend who taught Chinese in Manchester introduced me to the institution a year ago and I got the job interview and passed it then. Since then, the institution hasn’t had enough students to study Japanese. The minimum number of students to open the class is four. This summer term, there are five students and I finally got the job offer from there. At the moment I teach one-to-one with a private student. It’s very efficient for some levels of students, however I think it’s very good to join group lessons for beginners. Sometimes studying another language is just like mathematics. You can find your formula and control the language. Nowadays I don’t think Japanese is very difficult. It’s quite unique and different. It’s like using chopsticks. For Japanese people, we learnt how to use it since we were young so it was very difficult. We still remember how difficult it is for beginners however for adults it may not be so difficult.
