自 己 紹 介
A wonderful day dear students!
My name is Teacher Tobey. ^_^
Nice to meet you here!
I am what's called a Japanophile.
It means I love Japanese culture and its people! <3 <3 <3
At my university, I took up International Studies because I love learning about geography, world cultures, peoples and especially, their languages.
My TOEIC score is 955/990.
I have taught English for more than two
years now, from kids to adults and to the elderly. And I must say, the Japanese personality is very endearing to me. I'm so delighted to have met and befriended many Nihonjin because it has been my childhood dream to have many Japanese friends. This is why I'm also studying Nihonggo.
My dream in the future is to become a successful Anison and J-Pop singer and also a mangaka! In my free time, I rehearse a lot of English and Japanese songs. I also write and develop my own stories and characters so that in the future, I can get published in Shonen Jump Magazine! :-O
My style in teaching English is very cheerful, energetic and omoshiroii!
And if you have difficulty in speaking, that's alright, because I can speak a little Japanese. I can guide you to learning English the easy and fun way, so "Hazukashii garanaide ne?" ^_^
I am looking forward to meet you soon!
Yoroshiku onegaishimasu! :-D
Thank you so much, Tobey.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the material based on the article "The DARK Reason Behind Banning Girls from Schools" that you kindly selected on 14 Oct. 2024.
Apart from the content of the YouTube video, I found the following expressions that I had not found.
I suppose these expressions are common among English netative speakers.
- Today's class was spurred by the kolatas
- After multiple men committed depraved acts against her
- I'm going to talk about the autopsy results
- It's why the oil rig prank became so popular
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Tobey.

As I said in the lesson, the Japanese media is less likely to broadcast the incidents that happened in other countries and are related to discrimination for now.
However, we're able to find various kinds of NEWS on the internet except for fake news sources.
So I thought that Japanese should pay attention to any news involving discrimination that is not reported in Japan.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Tobey for the lesson on 23 Sep. 2024.
As I mentioned in the lesson, I'd rather stay at home to rest than go out during the holidays.
If I go out, such as traveling to the last minute, the fatigue hinders the progress of my work.
In addition, going out is likely to spend much money.
For instance, eating out costs a lot because restaurant prices include service charges. So it's reasonable for me to buy ingredients and prepare food. In addition, the prices are getting higher due to the inflation.
Considering the fact, the best way during holidays is to stay at my home in terms of my finance and tiredness.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Tobey.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the material based on the YouTube video "The Reason Why Sexism in Japan is Still Socially Accepted!" that you kindly selected on September 20 2024.
In the video, the woman said she was asked a terrible question during a job interview in a traditional Japanese company.
However, as I mentioned in the lesson, asking private information during a job interview is illegal. I have experience of becoming a job interviewer and I took a training as an interviewer.
In the training, the interviewer must not ask private information, such as family structure, single or married, having children, and so on.
For that reason, the interviewer in the video absolutely violated the Japanese law.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Tobey.
As the YouTube video you showed said, the Japanese royal family has a strict rule that does not allow female heirs to take the throne.
So, the current emperor is thinking of revising the law to allow female emperor, because he has a daughter.
I’m in favor of the idea, because a gender should not be considered to ascend the throne.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Tobey.
Disney movies are very popular among Japanese people.
The original names of Disney movies are different from the Japanese ones.
For instance,
- "Big Hero 6" and "Baymax"
- "Tangled" and "Rapunzel ont the tower"
- "Grandpa Carl's Flying House" and "Up"
- "Remy's Delicious Restaurant" and "Ratatouille"
- "Arlo and the Boy" and "The Good Dinosaur"
, etc.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.
