You can say that again res9 san. ”日本在住の外人が一時間あたり2千円も払って日本語を教えてもらってる話なんて聞いた事ないでしょう。” it is true. Lades and gentalmen,you never feel that it is unfair? I know a lot of schools that canadian learn japanese are free, but Japanese learn English from them are not free!For example, Japan and canada community center. Is that Japanese so cheap! ”僕は15才でカナダの高校に入学した当時、必死でカナダ人の友人をつくり彼らから生きた英語を学ぶ事ができました。”It is a good thing,I strongly agree that a good native English speaker friend can give you a big help,but don’t forget that do not cheap yourself just for learn Englih.A lot of Canadian and American know that Japanese girls are easy to get(sex), because they are just want to learn English and they can do anything for that. Our guys feel shy and angry.
