Sailor Moon Inspires English Conversational Learning!

It has been a long time since we've posted any summaries of letters we have read on Sailormoon Channel, but one from just a few days ago has piqued our interest. A 16-year-old girl named Amelie from Tokyo wrote in to say that all girls around the world know and love Sailor Moon and it is a great place to start conversation - especially in foreign languages! Amelie later wrote that she was happy to have the chance that this lets her have a conversation in English and it has helped her improve her English language skills. We'll let you read into why you think this letter was posted on your own. "Luna" replied saying that she is happy that the topic is so internationally known, and how it has helped advance conversational skills in English. Luna began her reply with a simple "Sugoi! Amelie is good at English!" Our other favorite letter was near the end when 14-year old wrote in saying that knowing all the names of the Senshi helped her learn the names of all the planets in English! Luna remarked that it was necessary to learn the planets in English for Science class.

And completely off topic, this marks my first entry on my new laptop :) the old one was destroyed by yet another virus prompting me to finally open my new one.

hi esahC - I am back from a two week vacation. The really surprising part is how much i am remembering about macs since it's been 12 years since i last touched one. i remember a teacher in elementary school taught us about how clover key does everything. some things are coming to me easy, while others are not! I am working on another post right now though, and i hope i can get the hang of working with blogger on this!
