OWL is not only an English school but also a school which provides us with a chance to see many English learners who have different backgrounds. It also offers us exciting and fabulous lessons conducted by well-qualified and experienced teachers at a reasonable price. I've been enjoying CTT lessons which allow us to talk freely over drinking a cup of coffee for almost one year. OWL helped me to reignite my passion for studying English. I'm sure that you will regret unless you join this school. See you soon. Can you imagine a language school which attracts you with the smell of coffee?

It is fantastic to see so many enthusiastic bloggers - keep up the comments - we would love the feedback at OWL. I would like to talk briefly today about the use of foreign Loan-words (Gairaigo) In Japanese. Sometimes, when I speak to a Japanese student, I hear such words as "buranko", "arbeit", "gerende", "gomu", "igirisu", to name only a few from my recent lessons. It may suprise some of you that none of these words are English - and most English speakers would not understand, for example, if a student asked "Are you from Igirisu?", or stated "I am an arbeiter". The reason is this - many modern Japanese loan-words are of Portugese, Dutch, German or French in origin (among others). For our examples: Buranko is from Portugese (English = "Swing") Gomu is from Dutch (English = "Rubber") Arubaito is from German (English = "Part Time job") Gerende is from German (English = Ski Slope) Igirisu is from Portugese (English = England/English/United Kingdom) There are many, many more examples of modern Japanese using loan-words that are not from the English language - particularly in Medicine and Foods/Cooking. Of course - it is not wrong to use these or any loan-words! All modern languages use loan-words. Just remember that sometimes if people from English-speaking countries do not understand them - try using a different word! Best Wishes to you all, and happy studying. Damien Greetings all students!

And OWL has always been my important place to go not only for English practices, but also for the sake of keeping peace of mind through friendly conversations with my fellow English learners and graet teachers. Almost all of English schools out there only offer you conversational skills concerniing the language you're working on, but I believe any institutions as long as they call themselves "school" should be involved with total education to pave the way for their students future. That's what sets OWL apart from other school, I mean, OWL has helped me form new and better perspectives toward "life" through English study with the teachers here. I can not thank them too much.
