116【Etsuko】Beyond the Classroom
Thursday, 9 April, 2026
Thanks for tuning in to the English Learners Club. You know, learning English isn't just about grammar and pronunciation—it's about the wonderful people we meet along the way! Today, I want to tell you a story about respect, family, and a very special person. All right then, let's dive in. Among the listeners of the 'GoGo Abe Kaiwa' podcast, there are many fascinating women. Today, I’d like to talk about one of them, who is a Japanese English teacher. I first heard about her from one of the podcast hosts. He expressed great respect for her on the show. It all started with a message she sent him on his birthday: 'Happy birthday! Your birthday is also a day that reminds you to thank your mother for giving birth to you.' What a sweet message! I was deeply moved by her words. Later, I heard her being interviewed on another program and I found myself hanging on her every word. After that, I started listening to a podcast she does with her friends, where they speak both English and Japanese. Her voice is charming, and I found her personality so intriguing—she sounds serious and responsible when speaking Japanese, but when she speaks English, she has a beautiful accent, and she comes across as incredibly sociable and cheerful.I truly understood where she got her lovely character when I met her mother. Her mother was modest, refined, and dignified—the epitome of a quintessential Japanese mother. Her posts on social media often show how much she cherishes her family. There are many other sides to her besides being a teacher. For instance, when she dances, she demonstrates grace and a vibrance that is captivating. She’s quite a bit younger than me, but my respect for her grows every time we meet. We both have had ups and downs in life. My message to her is this… “Hey! Let’s make some lemonade from Hiroshima lemons, laugh, and chug it down in beer mugs!🍋🍺” Thank you for listening! Keep learning, keep practicing, and always remember to have fun. See you in the next episode. Bye for now!
