Today was back to businessman mode as we had organised a distributors meeting to show school suppliers what GenkiEnglish.com and the superpacks are all about. It was supposed to just be for reps from Shikoku, but they came from as far away as Shimane and even Tokyo! Blimey! It seems that Genki English is pretty popular. Whenever I do teachers’ workshops the key is always to find out what the teachers need, and satisfy them, hence the rounds of applause when I show off the materials and stuff. But here the materials were still for teachers, but the audience don’t have the same needs! So it was tricky to get them genki, but even a room full of serious men in suits get genki with the songs!! So a nice lunch and more serious negotiations in the afternoon. So now if you are teaching in Shikoku, it’s dead easy to order the Superpacks and Picture Cards through your schools regular supplier, i.e. the school will probably pay! Let me know if you need details!

Then as it is a day off tomorrow, and the Genki English staff had come up from Imabari for the meeting, we all went off to an Onsen resort. And that was really nice, it’s just the right time of year to enjoy the fantastic Tokushima scenery!
