I do need to get back on the road! Seeing all the VE day celebrations and stuff really brought back the importance of what we do here, education is the cure to most of the World’s problems and it has to be fun and relevant for kids. The thing is that that’s not always that easy to see doing the “nuts & bolts” work behind the scenes! But it is important and there’s still a lot more people to be genkified!!

I’ve been giving the website it’s yearly overhaul, and the site is also on another new server, last month was the most popular yet with nearly 5,000 people a day, and I’ve also introduce secure forms for the normal orders and the CD Owners Club membership.

The main part of being here is to record a new set of materials for Japanese adults. I’m not sure how this will work, but I’ll get as much recorded as I can over here and then actually make the product ( either a CD or webpage) when I get back to Japan.

Some great new games have been sent in and I’ve got a whole load more of my own games to go up once I get the Japanese proofread. Mind you I have a feeling the top game this month will be Star Wars! I wish I could have got down to the premiere in London yesterday, but all the tickets were sold out in 5 minutes! Still only 2 days to go for the rest of us! Now can you tell while I scheduled my trip to the UK this month?

And something I read the other day, What’s the best translation of “Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu”? The answer? “May the force be with you!”

Hello, I'm Richard Graham. When I was a kid I found school to be sooooo boring... So I transformed my way of teaching. I listened to what the kids were really wanting to say and taught it in ways they really wanted to learn. The results were magical. Now I help teachers just like you teach amazing lessons and double your incomes!
