Konichiwa! I am most honored to have you in my class!
I know, I do have a foreign sounding name. Most of my friends and foreign friends call me Melai, a full-time ESL teacher, and a part-time travel, culture, and lifestyle writer, also a freelance photographer.
I have been teaching in iTalk for 9 years straight. I am enjoying my current work set-up since I can teach from the comfort of my room while I travel different countries in Southeast Asia. However, when I am not traveling, you can catch me at the office.
Book my class and have an enjoyable learning experience with me.
I teach you from my house. I'm sorry I can't use some texts.If you like to use the specific text ,Please send me or iTalk support Tokyo during the day time.
自宅からのレッスンとなりますため一部テキストが使用できません。生徒様のお持ちのテキストを使い受講したい場合はスカイプで事前に送っていただきますと受講できます。Tokyo office へはまとめて送っていただくことも可能です。
Thank you so much, Fraxie.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the material based on the article 'Hollywood actor says OpenAI Sora could cause job losses' that you kindly selected on March 10, 2024.
As I mentioned in the lesson, I have watched a sample video that AI automatically generated.
There are many static photos, pictures and paints that AI made, but it was the first time of watching the video made by AI.
The video seems to be a little weired, because the move of the person in the video was not natural.
However, I strongly believe that video will be used to make real movies someday just like CG.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Fraxie.
It was a pleasant, tactful class as usual from the material based on the article 'Japan, now world's No. 4 economy, on steep road to reverse low growth' you kindly chose on 18th Feb. 2024.
There are several root causes why Japan is suffering from economic stagnation.
As I said in the lesson, one of the reasons is that incompetent employees are automatically promoted and become managers, executives and CEO.
Some Japanese large companies still have an school clique that is well known for a traditional bad system.
In order to pay high salaries to the incompetent employees, other employees have to be exploited.
For that reason, it is natural that Japan has fallen to the No.4 economy in the world.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Fraxie.
It was a pleasant, tactful class as usual from the material based on the article 'Many Japanese outside major urban areas do not engage with foreigners: survey' you kindly chose on 11th Feb. 2024.
As I mentioned in the lesson, I suggest that foreginers start living in metropolitan area. as a novice resident
If they want to live in a rural area, I recommend that the area be close to Tokyo city, becaseu the farther people live from the metropolitan area, the more likely they are to be stubborn and conservative except for certain cases.
If foreginers get used to live in Japan enough, they can have a option to live in rural areas.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Fraxie.
It was a pleasant, tactful class as usual from the material based on the article 'Tai chi could slow down Parkinson's disease' you kindly chose.
Japan has a traditional and basic exercise 'Radio Calisthenics which is similar to Tai chi.
In general, young Japanese generations like to perform Yoga, but I'm not sure elderly people like to do the 'Radio Calisthenics'.
Japanese has highest life expectancy in the world. I assume that the reason is advanced medical technologies not the people's behavior.
For that reason, such regular exercise is not always beneficial to our longevity.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.
