Fun in Osaka, in Osaka.

The Osaka demonstration was great fun.

I particularly enjoyed meeting some of our effortless English members in Japan.

My only regret is that I didn't have time to talk to everyone longer.

Next time, we'll schedule more time to just sit and chat.

Since the Osaka demonstration went well, we'll be doing more workshops and seminars in the future.

My plan is to develop two kinds of seminars, one for English teachers and one for English teachers,

there's a huge need for teacher training,

as most English teachers either have no training at all or they are trained in grammar analysis practice methods.

In other words, they are only trained to use textbooks.

Likewise, I believe there is a need for student training.

Most students don't know about the research.

They don't know there are other ways to learn English. They only

know what they have experienced in school, usually boring grammar-based textbook teaching.

My goal for student seminars is to teach students a new way to learn,

independently. The Osaka seminar was my first one. It went well, but I felt

it was a bit rough and needs improvement. When I get back to San Francisco I will start

doing regular seminars in the city. In this way I can practice and improve both

versions of the seminar.

Once I'm satisfied with the quality, we will go on tour and do seminars in different cities around the world.
