3. Children’s lessons in Nakajima Koen

Since September last year we have opened classes for 2 years old and up in Nakajima Koen. We currently have 4 classes there for children.

4. Free-talk conversation sessions on Saturdays from 4 pm to 5:30 pm

Some of our students requested an open format discussion lesson to brush up their conversation skills. Since June last year we have a regular session on Saturdays in our Nakajima Koen school for this purpose. No homework, no preparation, just talk! You can reserve viawww.dcwinjapan.com/reservation.html

5. Reservation and scheduling page

Due to an increase in private lessons, we opened an online reservation page where it is possible to search and reserve classes at your convenience. Check it out atwww.dcwinjapan.com/reservation.html

If the time of your preference is not available, please email us and we can add the time for you.

6. Spring campaign

This week we are launching our Spring Campaign across all schools. Take a look at the flyer and share it with your friends.

7. Staying in touch

To keep up to date with the changes at our schools and to receive our one-point lessons why not follow us on Facebook. Go towww.facebook.com/raitogogaku and click “LIKE” or “いいね” to be kept in the loop.

For the time being

We can use this phrase when we are talking about something that will likely change in the future.

For example, "The crisis in Fukushima seems to be under control for the time being, but who knows what will happen if there is another big earthquake or tsunami."

That's all for the time being.

Have a nice day!

Off the cuff

Have you ever been in a meeting of lesson when someone was totally unprepared and their answers were not particularly well thought out?

These kinds of answers are "off the cuff".

Do you do it too?

Enjoy your day.
