This Is What English Tutoring Looks Like

Well, maybe not every week, but this week our lesson was 'singing English songs at karaoke' - their idea, not mine. Mostly we stuck to simple songs - the Beatles, Elvis, Carpenters - but Tamako did an amazing version of Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now" - a pretty fast song - and Yuka took stabs at a couple songs no one knew anything but the chorus to: "Endless Love" and "All by Myself". Good times. Personally, I tackled Bob Marley, Simon & Garfunkel's "I Am A Rock", "You Ain't Nothing But A Hounddog", and (to show something a little more indicative of my own tastes) The Smiths. Colleen did "Killing Me Softly", "Yellow Submarine" and Blondie's "Tide Is High". Teaching is fun.
