bankrupt

do you know what this mascot character is?

recently the biggest school teaching English in japan was bankrupted.

the school is "NOVA".

i hear this manager learned at Europe about management .

his theory is increasing the branches here and there in japan.

for them, a lot of teachers from foreign countries was employed .

the newspaper said " it was just only 3 days that they was got the lectures for teaching "

wow....... and the qualities of teachers were down. but the branches increasing was kept.

so the students are decreasing , so more branches ...............lol. and bankrupt.....

i am afraid of the teachers and students . a manager must make oneself responsible.

there is a proverb in japan.

you should not do too much , everything is good of moderation.

i think so.

japanese pronunciation

most of all Japanese can't distinguish the difference of pronunciation "R" and "L".
there is four methods to describe letters .
"kanji" "hiragana" "katakana" and "romaji"
海     うみ      ウミ   umi

"romaji" is used for words coming from foreign countries .

this method is the description that japanese pronunciation translates to english's .
japanese has 51 basic pronunciations.

there is "R" in them. but in real not "R" but "L".
maybe there are'nt "R" pronunciation in japanese. i guess.
but we were educated using "R".
so all of japanese pronounce using "L" in stead of "R"at speaking enlish . i think.
