I wanted to go to the hospital and speak to an English speaking doctor, so I asked a student of mine, who is a nurse at Itami City Hospital in Hyogo Prefecture, if she knew any English speaking doctors. She said that a doctor who she works with studied in the U.S.A. and probably speaks some English. I told her that I would like to see him. She spoke to him and let me know when I could go and see him. I met him yesterday and we spoke in English, which was great.
I really appreciate my student’s help. When I need help with something here in Japan, it is nice to know that I can always ask my students at Smith’s School of English Tsukaguchi for their help.
