A wonderful day dear students!
My name is Teacher Tobey. ^_^
Nice to meet you here!
I am what's called a Japanophile.
It means I love Japanese culture and its people! <3 <3 <3
At my university, I took up International Studies because I love learning about geography, world cultures, peoples and especially, their languages.
My TOEIC score is 955/990.
I have taught English for more than two
years now, from kids to adults and to the elderly. And I must say, the Japanese personality is very endearing to me. I'm so delighted to have met and befriended many Nihonjin because it has been my childhood dream to have many Japanese friends. This is why I'm also studying Nihonggo.
My dream in the future is to become a successful Anison and J-Pop singer and also a mangaka! In my free time, I rehearse a lot of English and Japanese songs. I also write and develop my own stories and characters so that in the future, I can get published in Shonen Jump Magazine! :-O
My style in teaching English is very cheerful, energetic and omoshiroii!
And if you have difficulty in speaking, that's alright, because I can speak a little Japanese. I can guide you to learning English the easy and fun way, so "Hazukashii garanaide ne?" ^_^
I am looking forward to meet you soon!
Yoroshiku onegaishimasu! :-D

Thank you so much, Tobey.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the material based on the video "Origins of Objectification" that you kindly selected on August 16 2024.
Unfortunately, objectification can be seen everywhere in Japan, and no one objects to it except feminists on social media.
However, I suppose the problem is gradually improving thanks to activists.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Tobey.

The word 'Objectification' was not familiar to me.
It means the act of representing an abstraction as a physical thing, if I interpret the word literally.
However, this word simplye means that treating people as objects.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to continuing the video in your next class.

Thank you so much for your lesson, Tobey.
As I said in the lesson, Olympic games are going on in Paris, but I have not watched any games in real time.
I only confirmed the results of the games, how many medals the Japanese athletes won for now.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Tobey.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the material based on the article "UK doctors to treat people suffering from eco-anxiety" that you kindly selected on August 3 2024.
Here is the my current answer of the SYNONYM MATCH.
1. condition = h) illness
2. raise = e) bring up
3. consultations = j) meetings
4. diagnosis= b) opinion
5. unethical = c) immoral
6. crisis = a) catastrophe
7. constant = f) continual
8. psychological = i) mental
9. distressed = g) anguished
10. guilty = d) ashamed
I have not known that 'conditions' has a meaning of 'illness' until I did the SYNONYM MATCH.
In addition, the word g) 'anguished' was not familiar to me.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

I don't agree with the policy of the British case. Doctors should not mention global problems, such as global warming to patients.
Talking much about global problems can cause anxiety, depression and mental disorders.
If doctors in Japan do the same thing, some critics raise as significant matter such as lack of expertise of doctors, etc.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Tobey.
I have not heard the "Project 2025" until I watched "The 'evil genius' of Project 2025 and its attack on American freedom".
The election of the US president affects my job and my company's prodcuts. If Donald Trump wins the election, he would put America first policy.
For example, his policies may increase tariffs on Chinese products or place restrictions on products that use components made in China.
To solve the problems, we have to use an another factory in other region, but it requires high transportation fee and initial cost to set up the factory.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.
