I commend you on what you're doing Richard, few people can do this and make it enjoyable for the kids. Which is important, cause you're getting them to learn which can get boring with just text books and what not. Awesome stuff!

@kyomasaki22 Thank you!

Amazing!! :)

"Ship.. Ship... Ship.... SHAAAAAAARK." That made me lol a little :3

[Jimaera]

Lol... that was your voice singing the song, yeah? So making these interactive lessons is part of your job?

[GenkiJapanNet]

@Jimaera This is my very full time job!

[Jimaera]

@GenkiJapanNet Ohhh, I was under the impression that you worked at an eikaiwa? My apologies for my ignorance, you've shown us so many different aspects of your job that I've never been able to quite place the setting in which you normally teach, lol.

[GenkiJapanNet]

@Jimaera No, no. My main "job" (I actually run the company) is training teachers and making materials to get schools out of the "boring & horrible" mode and into something where the kids actually want to learn i.e. making it "genki" - fun, energetic & full of life. I do a lot of work in developing countries but end up half the year in Japan, hence why I spin off some of the Genki English ideas into the GenkiJapan materials. Which is why it's so great to get everyone's support here!

[Jimaera]

@GenkiJapanNet Ohhhhhh, I see! You know, Richard, I realize I've said this to you before, but the world of education needs an awful lot more guys like you. If I were independently wealthy and my Japanese were better, I'd work for you for free, lol.

[MapleLeafHashima]

looks like a lot of fun

[perdomot]

I keep comparing the monkeys ears with Richards. LOL
