Iro iro Makes Life Interesting

You are here: Home / English School Articles / Iro iro Makes Life Interesting

In our flyer campaign last fall Karasuma School added 5 new students and some variety that is very interesting. I have one young lad studying for the academy and we added a retired gentleman that puts his time in studying English and  computers, and playing with his grandson and going to Panchinco. He is near “pink only” but he surpised me one day when I asked him, “How are you, today?” and he snapped out, “Dandy” with a little squeak on the end.  

Smith’s School placed the elderly near pink onlygentleman with my young lad who is high pink. I had had the young lad for about 6 months and so this put the elderly gent behind and the young lad had to wait until he caught up. I was concerned, however, they get along wonderfully. The young lad translates for me to the elderly gent and he likes to teach as well. Of course, I help. I was at first concerned about the arrangement since one is high pink and many lessons ahead and the other near pink only. However, it has livened up the class to everyone’s delight.
