Lin loves English

1:42pm JST Sunday 10 April 2011 (day 14991)

So last night Lin asked if I could help her prepare for her English interview. I was like, "mmmmmmm" not like it was a delicious idea, but like I wasn't really sure it was a good idea. I explained that it's not really easy to know what they'll ask, so trying to memorize perfect answers for questions could be a waste.

Today, she wanted me to revisit this idea, asking me if I like to teach. "yes, if the students are interested," and went on to explain that most Japanese students of English just toy with the romantic notion of learning English, and aren't really interested in doing the work.

Lin assured me she was not like that (which I knew already), and I realized how much moe-joe feeling I've got tied up in my brain about teaching English.
