"Now," said Yukari, without much preamble and clearly just planning on getting right on ahead with the lesson, "I've been here in America for a few weeks now, and I have to admit, when it comes to things to do around there? There doesn't seem to be much so far! There was that party I went to, and there's that bar with the guy who doesn't seem to like shirts, and I know the other bar has karaoke, so I've definitely been meaning to hit that up, but just haven't gotten around to it yet," for some weird reason; hi, the weird reason was video games, "but the island itself? Not much of a night life, huh? But there's plenty of places that do have more things to do, and all sorts of bar and all-you-can-eat buffets and parties, so, today, we're talking about how to make plans to go out and have a good time...in Japanese!"

Well, you weren't teaching Conversational Esperanto, Yukari.

And, naturally, this was when Yukari whipped out the worksheets and vocabulary sheets for everyone and went through some of the details and the pronounciation and contexts, as was generally the way things had been going in the class so far, and once she'd gone over everything, she turned to the class with a pleased grin.

"And now," she said, "that you have the tools to make plans and have a good time, I'd like you all to pair up and practice by making plans with each other! One rule, though, all you actual already Japanese speakers cannot pair up with each other, because that's not fair, find a newbie and help them out, because that's one of the best ways for a newbie to learn!"

It also passed some of the teaching onto someone else, and Yukari was definitely all about that!

"Shitsumon wa? Let's get started!"
