(and, in time someone who can answer your question will come along.)

tooriaizu no omotte iru no wa. . . kou desu:
(for the time being this is how I see it {and it's probably wrong}

boku wa anata no [romaji wo yomu toki ] no kimochii ga wakarimasu. . . tabun

(I understand your feeling when you read romaji. . . maybe)

Iie, seitotachi ni totte, MMsan ha saikou no gakusei deshou.

MMsan ha ima made ichiban nagai aida oshieru gakusei de, totemo totemo ganbatte iru you desune. Nihongo no joutatsu mo me ni miete wakaru node osieru no de kaiga aru to omoimasuyo.

Because MMsan is the longest running student, there is the appearance of going at it from all sides. But because you have made visible progress in the language, teaching is very worthwhile and rewarding, I think anyway...

 

[Mars Man]

(You teach at a university? What's the difficulty of the stuff you teach?)

 

[Mars Man]

(Thanks ECS san)

(yeah, before the fall/winter semester there is a holiday period. It's about seven weeks long.)

hai, sou desu. daigaku de oshiete imasu ga.
(yes, that's right. I happen to teach at a university.)

ma, sou desu ne. . . oshieru no wa juubun muzukashii kara, oshiete iru koto no muzukashisa wa kekko takai darou kamo shiranai...
(well, thinking about that...teaching is difficult enough, so, perhaps the difficulty of what I teach is pretty high...)

chotto matta...oshieru koto wa seito ga manabu koto da to omotte iru kara desu yo...
(hold on...teaching is a student's learning, as I see it...)

seito ga naka naka manabanai nara, boku wa naka naka oshiete inai darou
(if the students don't learn much, I am not teaching them much)

seito ni agete iru no nanajuu pasentto ha mado kara tonjyatte iru rashii desu.
(70 percent of what I give to the students seems to fly out the window)

sono imi de, seito ga motto manabitai to omou kimochi wo ageru no wa muzukashii desu.
( in that sense, giving the students the feeling of wanting to learn more is difficult.)

sono imi de, oshieru koto de muzukashisa no teido wa takai...naiyo wa kekko kantan na no ni...
( in that sense, the degree of difficulty in teaching is hign...even though the content is pretty easy.)

gaikokugo to shite eigo wo oshiete imasu. dochi to ieba, eikawa no chikai desu.
( I teach English as a foriegn language. more than not, it could be said to be close to English conversation.)

 

[Skullcrushergurl]

(now you're 16 years old so, are you learning how to drive a car?)

I know I messed up that sentence horribly.

 

[EvilCowSlayer]

Iie. (Watashi no) Okaasan/haha ga (?)tte watashi wa dekimasen.
(No. Mother says I can't)
I know I messed up that sentence horribly.

"Iie. Haha ni dame da tte iwaremashita."
(No. I was told by my mother that it's no good. [I can't])

Haha = jibun no okaasan
Okaasan = hoka no hito no okaasan ka jibun no okaasan to hanasu toki
(Haha = your own mother)
(Okaasan = someone else's mother, or when you're talking to your mother)

sono imi de, seito ga motto manabitai to omou kimochi wo ageru no wa muzukashii desu.
( in that sense, giving the students the feeling of wanting to learn more is difficult.)

Hontou, hontou. Miserareru eigo no seikatsu no tsukairyou ga arimasen ka? Sore ga aru nara, tetsudaimasu yo.
(True, true. Isn't there any real life application of English that you could show them? If you did, that would help.)

Seikatsu no tsukairyou ga nakereba, narau no wa nan de mo taihen no you desu ne.
(Without a real life use, learning anything seems like a pain.)

(actually, I do do that, but yet a good number of students want to have been taught rather than want to learn...)

(skullcrushergurl chan...why don't you tell us what you did in one day, kind of like a diary?)
