Tuesday 4th April – Bangkok – Training the trainers

Teaching using Genki English is dead easy, that’s what it’s made for. Training teachers to use Genki English is also pretty easy, that’s what I do everyday. But training teachers to train other teachers how to use GE is a new experience! The Ministry of Education has brought together around 180 of the best teachers…

Monday 3rd April – Bangkok – Way too much…

Getting CD6 ready for release ( and up on the site), learning Thai ( very exhausting!), preparing for the Thai workshops, developing new materials, meeting with teachers and trying to write a book. That’s been this week, I’ll try and keep up with the blog from now on!

Hawaii – Even better

Yeah, I did write the title correctly, thanks to the wonder of crossing the dateline I had two March 16ths this year. If I was Irish and planned it a day later I could have had two St Patrick’s Days! I’m actually over here for a friends wedding, but I also have quite a bit…

Tokyo – Nice

Yesterday all the hotels on the island were full ( it’s a small island!). So I was put up in a ryokan, which was nice and clean but I was feeling the culture shock. Most notably being freezing cold after stepping out of the shower ( no heating!), and the harshness of the fluorescent lights…
