Take any problem in the World and it's invariably caused ( or made worse)
by a lack of education. Too many kids hate school because it's too boring.
The aim of Genki Learning is to have all subjects in all countries taught
in a fun, engaging and effective way. There are already a few million kids
benefiting from this, and even a whole country where the government has
put it in all their schools. But there's still a long way to go!
While I'm on the road you'll hear about my travels & workshops, and
when I'm doing studio work I'll keep you up to date with ideas, updates
to the site and some of my favourite teaching resources. So if you want
to find out what's it's like behind the scenes or how & why I do what
I do or even if you're just nosey or a bit bored, have a read.
I'll update the diary as often as I can, so keep coming back. And of course
whilst I'm away, the office staff are always ready to send off your CD orders just as soon as you send them in!

It’s nice to be in Europe for Mardi Gras. In Portugal this week it’s been carnaval, and whilst not quite as fun as Rio de Janeiro, it’s a nice holiday mood, especially on a warm February day.
Mind you unlike French (”mardi”) or Spanish (”martes”), in Portuguese Tuesday has nothing to do with “mardi”, they use a similar system to China. Over there Tuesday is “week day two”, in Portugal it’s “day three”.
Japanese still sticks to the “Day of Mars” theme. So along with “Saturn Day”, “Sunday” and “Moonday”, Tuesday is quite easy to remember as it’s written as “day of the fire (planet)”. Anyway, to help you remember the rest, here’s a nice new animation of the days of the week in Japanese. Plus don’t forget the very NASA-like days of the week in English picture cards. Just the thing to get sci-fi crazed boys interested in class!
P.S. Did you know that if you write to NASA they nearly always write back? How cool would that be for your students!
