Hello Everyone
I hope you`re ready for another amazing week!
Studying English can be quite difficult for most students. Especially since there are very few native English speakers around to practice with. One of the best ways of improving English is to use it at home! So let`s start with the basics.
Greetings: English greetings are quite simple to use. You can say hello, goodbye, good morning and good night to your family. Using a new language is more about getting used to hearing and using it than it is about sounding correct or making long sentences. The more you use it the easier it becomes!
Basic Vocabulary: Basic words can be used as questions or statements. For example; apple. If you want to offer someone an apple you could simply hold out the apple with your hand and say "Apple?". Other words can be used similarily where you do not need to make a sentence to ask a question or to make a statment.
Here is an example sentence using very basic English:
Parent: Good Morning!
Child: Good Morning!
Parent: Breakfast?
Child: Please.
Parent: Apple? Orange? Cereal?
Child: Cereal.
Parent: Ok!....Here(gives the cereal)
Child: Thank you.
Parent: You`re welcome.
I hope this helps you and your children with using English at home!

Do you know how to respond to "How are you?"
Hello Everyone. I hope that all is well!
Today we are going to discuss how to respond to the question "How are you?"
It seems that many Japanese learners of English seem to answer this question very literally by saying "I am sleepy" or "I am not good". Although those answers are grammatically correct, they don`t sound natural and are a bit too direct and literal. They are responses that you would use with someone close to you in a personal setting such as your home.
Instead of answering directly, people usually say "I`m good" or "I`m ok/alright" before passing the question back or 'diving into' a topic such as "I went to Joyful last week". "How are you?" is simply used to 'get the ball rolling' and you will express your real feelings (such as I`m not good) once the conversation has become more personal. It is a bit too 'heavy' at the beginning.
I hope this helps you better understand how to repond to this useful 'ice breaker'!
L-Sensei
Glossary
dive into - to begin, usually quickly
get the ball rolling - to help things move faster, to a more desired place
heavy - serious
ice breaker - something said at the beginning to help start the conversation
