In order to promote speaking English, I am doing one-on-one interview quizzes with all 200 of my 2nensei this month. It has actually gone better than I expected, so that was a pleasant surprise. Here are some of the amusing questions/answers I have gotten so far:
“Which do you like better, Japanese women or American women?”
“What do you think of Ms. Yamada?” (my 24 year-old cute female co-teacher)
“Do you like Cindy?” I was asked this TWICE! Damn kids!
“Do you play sex?” (inevitable)
“How long have you been dating your girlfriend?” (I obviously am up-ing her English level in this quote)
“How many girlfriends do you have?”
Me: Do you have a girlfriend?
Popular boy: No comment!
While I am writing about my students, in 3nensei classes we were writing about “Naninani is one of the naninani which I like.” For example, “Harry Potter is one of the books which I like.” They had to use that grammar point for anything they liked, then write two more sentences for each one. Here was one of them:
Banana is one of the fruits which I like. I have eaten it many times. I want to eat it again some day.

Haha, I like that I'm a celebrity at Yabu. Mmm, I'd like to eat a banana some day again as well. Perhaps tomorrow. =)
Oh, and I didn't realize you have more than double the number of 2nensei than I do! Whoa!!
Hi Jeff? What company/airline did you book to Taipei? Ive been looking but cant find anything less than about go man en
You gots to do the "free" tours! They include the plane ticket/hotel stay and bus ride to/from the airport in Taipei. However, they are all in Japanese, so have a friend help you with the kanji. Try Yahoo Travel (http://travel.yahoo.co.jp/), it is the best bet. I am not so sure about English sites, though. No1 Travel is okay for plane deals, but I dont think they do tours. You will save money if you book in Japanese!
