Japanese has a lot of words that have no equal in English, They can be explained, but there is no single word that has the same meaning.
This is the same the other way as well, there are some English words that don`t match to anything in Japanese.
I`ve picked out a few of my favourite words that are untranslatable.
Wabisabi, the art of finding beauty in imperfection and impermanence, the word and the philosophy both have no equal in English.
Boketto, Staring at nothing while thinking, the closest in English is the expression "to stare into space"
Itadakimasu, Many languages have a word or phrase that they say before eating a meal, some way to appreciate the food, but not English, instead, most English speakers that want to say something will use the french "Bon Apetit"
and finally Komorebi, the light that filters between tree leaves, this word has no equal but is often matched with the english word susorous, which describes the sound of leaves in the wind

Many of our students recieved their Eiken results this week!
Congratulations, to everyone, especially those who passed with extremely good results!
This is an outstanding achievement and I know that we are all very proud!
One of my highschool students, "Y" passed the 2nd grade Eiken test on his first attempt, which is amazing!
Did you know:
Since it started in 163, over 90 million people have taken the Eiken test, making it Japan's most widely
administered English proficiency test with a huge pool of test-takers!
"That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well" (Abraham Lincoln)

All children's lessons are naturally musical involving singing and chanting repetition.
Sometimes though in seminar classes I have the opportunity to play guitar as part of the lesson; either for children's songs or as an ambient background sound.
It is amazing how children can quickly grasp even complex sentence patterns provided their are taught as a tune.
Best wishes,
Michael.
Everyone has something that they`re best at, and everyone has something that they aren`t,
a big part of growing into a good person is learning to tell what our strengths and weaknesses are,
I`d like you all to ask yourself, What is your greatest strength? maybe you are great at always being on time, or maybe you`re really good at understanding when someone around you is sad and how to help them, or maybe you always keep calm even when it`s stressful.
Also ask yourself, what is your biggest weakness? Maybe you are bad at remembering names, or maybe you worry too much what other people think, or maybe you need more practice listening to understand when someone is speaking.
Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, it just means we have room to grow more too!

Our students seem to have never-ending tests to study for sometimes, and it can be so hard to feel like you have studied enough to be confident for it, Which is a shame because confidence can play such a big part in the score that you get on a test.
Often just before or just after a test I`ll ask my students "how do you feel about this test out of ten?"
frequently students will answer at about a 4 or 5, stating "maybe I will pass, with a low score"
One such student has been working with me to prepare for a difficult test for a long time, the week before he finally sat the test, this student, K, rated himself at only a 3 for confidence, he understood how to answer and had a good grasp on the material. However when he came for class just after the test, I asked again and he said "7! I was dying from too many questions, but I knew the answers!"
Seeing how much more confident he felt in the face of something that had been so nerve wracking was really reassuring. Everyone works so hard and understands so much more than they think they do, they only need to feel more confidence in themself!

Hi,
It's very heartening to see that many of the Aeon students will be continuing their studies here at Amity.
It's also exciting that we will be using the Cambridge Interchange text in some of the classes, a text which I have taught in both the UK and Japan.
I look forward to the upcoming changes.
Best wishes,
Michael.
