Hi everyone,

We hope you enjoyed meeting Taisei last week.  Let's give special thanks to Taisei for coming to both of our Online English Zoom classes.  We learned a lot about making international friendships.  Thank you, Taisei!  Your stories, memories and photos were inspirational (刺激的 shigeki-tekifor everyone!

We want to also give special thanks to Kurt for guiding the meeting with Taisei.  Thank you, Kurt!  We can see the friendship you and your classmates made with Taisei.  👬  Thank you for sharing your great memories together!

Now, let's talk about today's lesson.  Today's lesson is called Asking Permission.  It's an important lesson, so please try your best!

Last week, we asked Taisei for permission to post photos of him on this blog.  And it went something like this...

Warm-up: Dialog - Asking Permission & Inviting 

Instructions: This dialog is between Kurt and Taisei.  Listen to the teacher or MKD tutors model the dialog one or two times.  Listen carefully.  If you have any questions about the dialog, please ask your teacher or tutor.  Afterwards, please take turns reading this dialog with your teacher, tutor or classmate.


Kurt: Hi, Taisei!  Long time, no see!

Taisei: Oh, hi Kurt.  Yes, it has been a long time.  How are you?

Kurt: Actually, fine.  But you know, COVID is making everyday life difficult.  How about you?

Taisei: Oh, I'm doing fine.  But you're right; Coronavirus makes life tough.

Kurt: Yeah, it sure does.  By the way, I need to ask your permission for something?

Taisei: Hmm... my permission?  Permission for what, exactly?

Kurt: OK.  Let me explain.  Well, we'd like to get your permission to post a few photos of your Davao visit. Would that be OK?

Taisei: Oh, really?  Yeah, sure!  I give you permission to do that.  No problem.

Kurt:  Great!  Thank you, Taisei.  Oh, and if you have free time, would you like to join our Online English Zoom classes on Wednesday, 2nd and 3rd periods?

Taisei:  Oh, really?  That sounds fun.  Absolutely!  I have free time.

Kurt: Great!  Thanks, Taisei.  You will inspire the 1st-year Kokusai Course students!  You'll be our special guest.

Taisei: Hahaha... thank you for saying that! 😂

Kurt: It's true!  I will send you the Zoom link on LINE.  See you on Zoom on Wednesday!

Taisei: Yeah, see you then, Kurt.  It was good talking with you.

Kurt: Nice talking with you, too, Taisei.  Bye for now...

Taisei: See you, Kurt...
