New Term at E-Style!

Hi everyone,

As a new fiscal year (新年度) has already (既に) started and a new school year (新学年) is scheduled to begin next week, a new term (新クール) at E-Style is set to start, as well. It will be a ten-lesson term (with one week off for Golden Week) running from this coming Monday, April 7th to Saturday, June 21st. Please be sure to check out the LESSONS/FEES page of this website for a detailed explanation (詳しい説明) of our classes and prices if you are interested in studying English conversation with us this fiscal/school year.

Jack and I hope to see you at E-Style next week!

Sincerely,

Alan

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hello to all the green onion and coffee lovers around the world,

Happy Valentine's Day! 

I would like to thank all of the students who have kindly brought a variety of (色々な) treats to E-Style this week not only for Jack and me, but for their classmates, as well. I hope that the green onions (ネギ) in your udon are as heartwarming as the loving bubbles in your morning cup of joe (朝のコーヒー). 

Your chocoholic teacher,

Alan

Happy New Year (and Hanukkah, too)!

Happy New Year! 

And Happy Hanukkah, too!

Hi everyone,

Just a quick blog entry to wish all of you a Happy New Year and some of you a Happy Hanukkah, too. For (なぜなら), the first day of 2025 is also the eighth and final night of Hanukkah, which started at sundown (日の入) on December 23rd. It is extremely rare (極めて珍しい) for the Festival of Lights to continue into the New Year.

Jack先生 and I are looking forward to (楽しみにしている) hearing all about your New Year's holiday when we see you back at E-Style next week. Until then, take care, stay warm, and enjoy all of your favorite traditional Japanese New Year dishes (おせち料理), especially Sanuki-style rice-cake soup (お雑煮), with white miso and sweet-bean-paste (餡) mochi!

Happy holidays,

Alan
