Come on posters!!!!

This was an ex-AV star, hardly a model I would like my daughter looking up to.

Her death is rather poetic about modern Japan, 38 year old woman who was unmarried and childless. Her tragedy is confirmation of the loser dog syndrome and that the kanji for…

They already know the sound of their own language and many of them are similar to English words

Totally wrong. If you bothered to study comparative vowel quadrilaterals of Japanese and English phonemes, you would soon discover that the places of articulation are quite different.

Added to this is the…

Possible AIDS victim.Sad though! http://sankei.jp.msn.com/topics/entertainments/2321/ent2321-t.htm

Your Japanese sucks bigtime, if you think that article says anything about her having AIDS. It just reports a neighbor seeing her in the lift and behaving irrationally - barefoot and holding her boots - about a week ago.

Any katakana in my classes is not accepted. The vowel sounds in Japanese can also be applied to English vowel sounds in many English words

Mutually exclusive statements there. English vowel sounds are different from Japanese vowel sounds. You're the one applying katakana to your classroom. You're just not expanding…

This has a lot to do with the Chinese mafia now being the big fish in Kabukicho. The Yaks have moved out elsewhere and in true Japanese tradition, these new places will be allowed to carry out their business unhindered by the keystones.

Where are the profits from previous years?

My thoughts exactly..........

It shows that the yen exchange rate is the biggest factor in these companies being profitable

I've never met a Japanese English teacher with good enough English skills to do this

Japanese who speak English well and have some global perspective don't become JTEs. They join Mitsui, SMB et al as freshman. Those who can't speak English but rote learnt their way to a degree in…

**shiuu **The fewer of those that wash up on Japanese shores, the better the job prospects for everyone else.

**From The Article **“If I don’t have your resignation within 48 hours, you will be dismissed.”

What labor costs are involved here?
