Whilst you should try and use as much English as possible in class, some
Japanese goes a long way to making things move more smoothly and getting
along with the kids. Plus of course Japanese is pretty much essential when
lesson planning with the class teachers! So I've now made a CD of the most
useful phrases that come up in Japanese elementary schools!
The CD was made for use by Japanese teachers to learn English, but as the
Japanese is recorded as well, it's a great way for you to learn too. As
the English is recorded on the left speaker and the Japanese on the right,
you can choose whether to listen to both English and Japanese versions,
just the Japanese, or if you want to test yourself, you can listen to just
the English version and see if you remember the Japanese. It's very versitile
and of course is recorded with native speaker teachers to get your accent
and intonation just right!
It took me about a year to get up to this level, but using this CD for
5 minutes a day you should be up to speed even faster. Even if you haven't
arrived in Japan yet it's a great way to hit the ground running and avoid
most of the communication problems that ALTs have!
You also get a nice little booklet with all the phrases printed, with the
Japanese in characters and roman letters for easy use.
The price of the CD is 2,940 Yen + post & packing.
If the teachers at your school would like to buy a copy each, we have bulk
ordering facilities available, plesase tell them to give us a ring on 0898-48-0256
( Japanese only).
If you have any questions please get in touch or if you would like to order the CD, please check out the 
Cash On Delivery Order Form if you are in Japan, or the International Shop for express delivery anywhere in the World!
Or click here for the FAX order form in Japanese.
Enjoy!
(Note: this CD is not included in the superpack nor the 4 CD set)
