How about letting them email to your friends(you have to ask them first, though) in US and letting use the forms they learn.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good idea! I'll make sure to ask some people before I leave about e-mail correspondence. I think it would be fun to do an exchange type of thing with another school too. That way they are talking with children their own age, and maybe help the other students learn about Japan, or if they are learning Japanese they could do a language exchange as well. I did something similar when I was taking Spanish in Middle/High School.
ReplyDelete--Any volunteers who want to e-mail/letter exchange with students in Japan?? ^_^ In English of course...
