Hi everyone,
My name is Gerry Shih, and I'll be teaching this class on Wednesdays. I'm currently a student at the Kyoto Consortium for Japanese Studies here at Kyoto University. Originally from Illinois, I'm now a junior at Stanford University in California majoring in economics and minoring in Japanese. Please feel free to talk to me in either language, in and outside of class. I'm very excited about getting to know everyone here, in and outside of class. After all, I'm a student like everyone else.

Based on my own experience, I know that language classes at the university level are heavily focused on detailed grammar points and memorizing some vocabularly. This is important and helps with reading and writing, but actually speaking, interacting, and living in that language is a completely different matter. I never got enough actual conversation practice in class, so while I could read and write, I couldn't actually converse at all.

In this class, I'm going to give everyone as much time as I can to practice conversing in NATURAL, SPOKEN American English. When you speak English, you want to sound like a real person, not a book, right?? We'll openly discuss different subjects depending on everyone's English level, and try to simulate real conversations and situations. We'll do anything else you guys are interested in.

I'll see you in class!
