School of Little Yoshiwara

I started this project in May this year. Making a language exchange group, a friend Eru Males told me there was a nice place to do a language exchange. That was Little Yoshiwara. The owner Xuemei Yiyuan offered the space for free and gave me an affiliate title in Little Yoshiwara. Eru helped me a lot about organizing the group charter and the each role in the group. Then I held the first Japanese lesson on June 15, one month after i had started to move.




One day I asked Kimiko Bonde to be a subsitute during my absence. She accepted my offer and had 2 lessons there. Since then she has been teaching Japanese in the school. She is mainly in charge of teaching geisha girls in Little Yoshiwara who live in the U.S. Kimiko Bonde is an English teacher in RL. She has beeng living in Japane for about 7 years.




In parallel with this, I was working on starting a Chinese class because some Japanese wished to learn Chinese. Hermoine Loire accepted my offer and now she gives a Chinese class on Saturdays. Her class focuses on pronuciation and practical conversations. Hermoine Loire is Chinese and working in Language Lab as a helper in SL.
