Slight Changes

Mrs. Kikugawa's English is much better than I thought. Either I misjudged her initially or she's progressed a lot recently. Or both! Anyway, this makes me very happy. She expressed a desire to start speaking English with me rather than Japanese. This means I'll lose my free Japanese practice, but I'm so happy to be helping her. When she doesn't understand something, she asks and we talk about it. She doesn't give me that glazed look and tune me out like the kids might do. That's the difference motivation makes, I suppose. The kids are learning English because they have to for school. But she wants to learn, so she's much more fun to teach.
