Ake-Ome!

Let's hope 2021 is better than 2020 was! One way to improve it is to come to English Club! See you next year!

 

What Does It Do?

 

At a recent English Club, we discussed the actions and functions of common devices, although this may not be a common device found in every home. Can you fill in the blanks here?

A Fond Farewell to 2020?

On a year when people really would like to "forget the year" I imagine the traditional "bonenkai" will be restricted. But, English Club isn't restricted! We're still meeting in person, distancing, with masks and ventilation. You are most welcome to join us in December! 

 

Advertising Adjectives

 

At a recent English Club, we talked about the best way to describe products in order to attract people to try them. Adjectives to use in advertising. When describing natto, it is probably best not to mention the aroma at all. 

...and 29 is the new 15?

 Sorry to say, we need to change the schedule for November from the 1st and 15th to the 1st and 29th. 

11 is the new 9!

"November" comes from the Latin word for "nine" because in earlier times there were only 10 months in a year. In this year, there are two times on the eleventh month that you can join us for English Club. 

 

Not a Couch Potato

 We've looked at various expressions in English, and here is a translation of other languages' terms for a person who reads a lot. A person who spends much time in front of the TV is a couch potato, by the way.
