Hi, how have you been these days? I've been busy but I'm doing well, but I feel like I am going to sad because of me. I made sure that the most important thing is keep to practice!!! Have you ever taught Japanese for someone? Of course I have. So, let me talk about my experiences this time. I promised a man who is a exchange student of KGU the other day, so we gather to teach Japanese at the library after school. He asked me about “ばかり”, and “つい” today. I know how different between “ばかり” and “つい”, but I didn’t explain it very well. What so frustrated!
However, I did do my best, I guess. Here is what I taught him.
About “ばかり”; it has 2 mean. The one is like 1) “Some 10 people happened to be there,” the others are 2) “She reads only magazines,” “He is always borrowing other friend’s books.” something like that. Or you will be able to teach like “I’ve just finished my home work.
About “つい”; it 4 means. It means like 1) “The friend’s name slipped my mind,” the others are 2) “I ended up overeating,” 3) “I missed my chance to confess because I was afraid of being to she gets mad,” 4) “It was reported on radio only a few minutes ago.”
Well, I don’t know how much he could understand. But I hope he gets better than before I taught at least a little.
I really like to speak English, also want to help someone if its need for them. However I did not explain so well, also I was not satisfied today. I didn’t feel good, but there was nothing I couldn’t do. I still have time, so need to study how to teach Japanese. Also I have a duty which I should more to know it why I am native. We have some exchange students from some countries here in KGU, so we each have chance to teach Japanese them. So there is a lot of good opportunity for us. Why don’t you teach Japanese them with me? I’d like to try it even I’m not good at to teach Japanese yet.

Hi Dumpling,
I was looking forward to reading about your experience teaching Japanese, but found you'd written very little about it. I gather that you explained two items, probably in English. Did your explanations help the exchange student with whom you met understand the items he asked about? I wonder if you or he came up with examples, spoken or written in the target language. (I also wonder why you've repeated the first two ¶¶ in this post;-).
Cheers.
