Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Your friend asks in Japanese, “How are we going to get through our new class? That teacher seems really tough. What do you think of her?” Your Japanese answer hides your real thoughts, “I don’t know; it shouldn’t be too difficult. I think our teacher really wants us to succeed, and if she wants us to succeed, she’ll do what’s necessary to help us learn. She really knows all about the material and the subject. She has an advanced degree. Her previous classes really like her. Sure, she looks like she’ll be harsh, but I’m sure she has our best interests at heart. She’s available after hours for extra work if you need it. Some of the exercises she uses in the classroom she devised herself and they have won awards for innovation in education. Her Japanese is perfect, so there’s no problem understanding what she’s saying. She has even arranged special field trips so we can see how the things she teaches are applied out in the world. I think her class will be really good.” Your friend looks at you with suspicion and asks in Japanese, “Say, how do you know so much about this teacher? She’s new this year. How can you know all that stuff about her and her teaching methods?” Quietly, you reply in Japanese, “Because she’s my Mom.”
