ネイティブが教える英会話のジェムスクール☆Teachers☆

For Golden week I took my dad around Japan! We spent the first few days in Kanonji, because I had classes to teach. I showed my dad a few things (mostly food!). It turns out that my dad LOVES melon-pan! He was very skeptical about trying it, but after the first bite he was hooked! The first day in Kanonji I took my dad to eat Sanuki udon! I ordered us plain udon and curry udon, so that my dad could try a few different flavors. We also got a few side dishes to try. He really liked it, as it was a bit funny to see my dad trying to use chopsticks. The next day I took him to Hamazushi, because we don't have any conveyor belt sushi restaurants in my area of Canada. He thought that was super cool.

My dad can only speak a few words of Japanese, so I wrote him a small list of useful phrases and questions, like "this one please", "where is the train station?", and "Thank you!". I found it a bit funny hearing my dad trying to speak Japanese. He tried really hard but the sounds he used didn't sound right to me and I can only imagine what I sounded like when I first arrived! I can't wait to tell you all more about our trip next week!
