　 Hi, my name is Vicky Liao. I am from Vancouver, Canada.
I was born in Taiwan, and I moved to Canada for 10 years. I can speak Taiwanese, Mandarin, and English.
Now, I’ve lived in Japan only about 3-4 months. This is my first time coming Japan. I am here for learning Japanese.
Currently, I am studying in Tokyo University of Foreign Studies. For me, in Japan, everything is still new and interesting. I am learning new thing, and having new life experiences every day. I love Japan; it is a really nice country.
Teaching English through IHCWAY makes my life in Japan more interesting. I enjoy the lessons with IHCWAY students. Through lessons, not only do I teach English to students, but also I’ve learned Japanese culture from students, and students are willing to share their life experiences to me.
I really enjoy my teaching in IHCWAY!!!
Best wishes,

Vicky

How are you doing? Hope your summer has been going　well despite hearing about the extreme heat in Japan. How are you doing? Hope your summer has been going　well despite hearing about the extreme heat in Japan.
Here in LA we did have some hot days but recently the temperture has started to drop and it has become more comfortable.
I have a couple of news to report. This month therehas been some Japanese festivities happening in LA andneighboring areas. Last week we had the annual Tofufestival which showcased many restaurants and shopsthat served different kinds of tofu dishes.
Later inthe evening the Grand Parade took place. This year's parade was particularly special because it ended with the debut of a large Nebuta float imported from Aomoriprefecture. Do you know about the Nebuta festival andits floats? Many people came to the parade just to seethat float. The streets were jammed packed withpeople, and in fact the papers said that 15,000 people were in attendance that day! Although it was tiring topush through the crowds, it was still worth going andit was very exciting when the float made its appearance :)
Here are a couple of informative websites:

Talk to you later,Patty

Myself :
Hi! My name is Tobi, I'm pleased to meet you! (Douzo Yoroshiku!)
I have been in Japan for nearly a year now, and I can honestly say I enjoy it here. I have enjoyed many wonderful things about Japan, but the best thing about Japan is it's people!

I have met many wonderful Japanese people and enjoyed helping everyone of them improve their English skills and abilities. Previously, in Adelaide, I worked as an "Accounts Consultant" for the largest telephone company in Australia.
I am currently completing my full teaching qualifications and I teach people of all ages, from beginners to advanced. I can help you with any kind of English you want to focus on, English just for fun, for travel, for business, or even just to achieve a higher TOEIC score!
In my spare time I enjoy making music. ( I have played guitar for 18 years and I studied "Music Technology" at "Adelaide University" in my home city of Adelaide. Later, I studied "Electronic Arts" in Sydney, New South Wales.) -I also enjoy getting out and seeing different cities and places in Tokyo and Japan, and I enjoy eating lots of Japanese food!

I look forward to meeting you. I'm sure we can enjoy talking about lots of things, even if it is only one thing by one thing! (-"Hitotsuzutsu !") Also, I would like to sincerely wish you all the best in achieving your goals in learning English, and in Life!

Warm Regards,

Tobias De Visser

Adelaide :
The City of Adelaide has a population of around one million people. (1,000,000) It enjoys a Mediteranean climate during the warmer months (-Similar to Greece or Italy..) and has a very clean environment. Because pollution is so low, there is a popular tram which runs through the city and goes all the way to the beach.
