Lesson: Winnie the Pooh
You probably know the character Winnie the Pooh. More than likely, if you are Japanese, you know that figure skating star Yuzuru Hanyu likes Winnie the Pooh, and his fans throw thousands of stuffed Pooh toys onto the ice every time he skates. But do you know the story of Winnie the Pooh? I don’t mean the Disney stories. I mean the actual background story. The story of Pooh’s rescue. The story of how Pooh got his name. The story of how Winnie the Pooh went to London during the First World War. No, I don’t think you do. In that case, you will learn some interesting things during this conversation lesson.

I will never test you on the articles, but I strongly suggest you book lessons far enough in advance to give yourself enough time to properly prepare. The better prepared you are, the more benefit you will receive from our conversations.
