今回は、初の「英語のコラム」をお届けします♪
アミティーの外国人教師は世界約15ヵ国から「英語を話すことで世界が広がることを伝えたい！」という思いで来日し、アミティー各校でお子さまのレッスンを担当しています。以下、外国人教師の研修の様子を、トレーナーからレポートしています。
This month, our teachers participated in a Follow-up Teacher Training designed to deepen their skills, reflect on their practice, and continue growing as educators. The sessions focused on refining lesson delivery, strengthening student engagement, and sharing effective strategies that help meet the diverse needs of every learner. It was an opportunity for our teachers to collaborate, learn from one another, and bring fresh energy and ideas back into the classroom.
Most importantly, this training reflects our ongoing commitment to your children. We are constantly striving to improve, not just maintaining quality, but actively raising it, so that every student receives the best possible support and learning experience. Our goal is to create classrooms where students feel encouraged, challenged, and confident, and we are proud to invest the time and effort into making that happen every day.
アミティーでは、定期的に教師研修を実施しています。
今月は１泊２日の研修が実施され、全国のアミティーから沢山の先生たちが集まりました。
研修参加のあたり、レッスンのお振替をお願いし、ご協力くださった生徒さま、ありがとうございました。
研修では、お互いのレッスンを見て、良い点と課題点を話し合いました。さらに、一人ひとりの学習意欲を高めたり、多様な学習ニーズに対応するための効果的な指導方法についても様々な意見・アイディアを交換しました。
今後も楽しく、充実したレッスンを提供し、「英語が好き！英語が得意！」と思ってもらうことが私たちの目標です。
その実現のために尽力してまいります。
今週の“使えるひとこと英語”
“Learning is a lifelong journey.”
「学びは生涯続く旅である」。
「学び続けることが成長につながる」「何歳になっても学び続けることは大切」という意味の格言です★

Hello everyone! 👋👋
How are you today?
Let's talk about food and feelings! 🍕😋
💡 Fun English Fact: Do you know what "Comfort Food" means? 🗣️✨
In English, "comfort food" isn't about healthy nutrition. It means the cozy food you eat to make yourself feel happy, safe, and relaxed!
For many people, it is pizza, mac and cheese, or ice cream. In Japan, it might be a warm bowl of ramen or miso soup! 🍜✨
What is your ultimate comfort food when you've had a long day?
🎨 Find your comfort zone:
Learning a new language can feel scary, but we promise our classroom is just like comfort food—warm, welcoming, and guaranteed to make you smile!

Hello everyone! 👋👋
How are you today?
Let's talk about kids and English! 👶🎒✨
💡 Fun English Fact: Kids learn best when they are moving! 🧠🏃♂️
Did you know that babies and kindergartners don't learn by sitting at a desk? They absorb language through their whole bodies!
At this age, English isn't a study subject—it's just a fun game.
Here is how our littlest students learn so fast:
1️⃣ Music & Rhythm: Singing songs helps them remember words naturally. 🎶
2️⃣ Action Games: Jumping and clapping helps connect English words to real movements. 🤸♂️
3️⃣ Big Smiles: When kids are having fun, their brains soak up language like a sponge! 🧽
🎨 Our classroom:
At Amity Takahashi, our lessons are full of toys, colors, and lots of laughter. We make sure your child loves coming to class every single week!

Hello everyone! 👋👋
How are you today?
Let's talk about dogs and idioms! 🐶🐾
💡 Fun English Fact: What does it mean when it's "raining cats and dogs"? 🐱🌧️
If you look out the window and see a massive downpour with heavy sheets of water falling from the sky, you can say, "It's raining cats and dogs!"
This is a famous, old-fashioned English phrase used to describe a really heavy rainstorm. Nobody knows the exact origin, but it always brings a funny image to mind!
Next time a big storm hits, forget about standard textbook phrases and try shouting this one instead! ⛈️
🎨 Fun with language:
English is full of colorful, quirky idioms that make everyday conversations much more exciting and expressive.

Active listening words 🗣️💬
Hello everyone! 👋👋
How are you today?
Let's read about active listening words in English.
💡 Fun English Fact: Do you know the secret of "Uh-huh" and "Aha"? 🗣️✨
When you watch Western movies or listen to native English speakers, do you notice they make a lot of unique sounds?
In Japan, we say 「相槌」(Aizuchi) to show we are listening (like “Unhun”, “Naruhodo”, or “Ee”). In English, we do the exact same thing, but the sounds are a little different!
Mastering these 3 simple sounds will instantly make you sound like a natural speaker:
1️⃣ Uh-huh (うはん) = "Yes" or "I'm listening"
This is the most common casual aizuchi. If a friend asks, "Are you ready?" you can just smile and say, "Uh-huh!"
⚠️ Tip: Keep your mouth closed on the second syllable.
2️⃣ Uh-uh (うっうっ) = "No"
This is the opposite of Uh-huh. It’s a short, sharp sound. If someone asks, "Did you eat my chocolate?" and you didn't, you can say, "Uh-uh."
3️⃣ Ah-ha! (あはー！) = "I understand!" or "I found it!"
This is the sound of a lightbulb turning on in your head! Use this when you finally understand a difficult problem, or when you find your lost keys.
🎨 Why standard textbooks don't teach this:
Traditional textbooks focus a lot on big grammar rules, but real-life English is full of these fun, short expressions, facial expressions, and rhythms!
At Amity Takahashi, we don't just teach you words from a page—we teach you how to connect naturally and have fun conversations.
🎁 Want to practice your natural English rhythm?
Come try a Free Trial Lesson with us! Let's practice some fun expressions together in a relaxed, zero-stress classroom.
