difficult to teach
Once a week, I teach dance to elementary school students, and every time I do, I learn new things from them. Those schoolchildren see world through different filter from ours, so I often worry about how I can convey the pleasure of dancing.
They are honest to show their feeling. They become lazy soon when they feel bored. What is more, they start playing if they get tired of dancing. On the other hand, when they think they’re enjoying dance, their concentration on dancing is terrific! I become the happiest person at this moment. So my wish is to make the students like dancing, and I know I have to learn more to grant this. Teaching something is very difficult!

Welcome to the life of being a teacher! Now you know how I feel, both the high points and the low points (but usually high).
I just found out that teaching Japanese to American is more difficult than teaching English to Japanese th eother day, what do you think?
I agree with Yuri because English is now the international language so many countries concentrate on the education of English, while Japanese is...you know. But I think teaching is very difficult job regardress of what kind of language. I am also working as a lecturer of "Juku"(This is kind of small school to teach student)Some times this job makes me irritated but I enjoy teaching.
wow! nozo, that sounds great!! is that volunteer or something? yeah, teaching is really difficult but so fun! i can easily imagine that you enjoy teaching dancing to children and i want to take your lesson! please teach dancing to me as well! i would be a VERY bad dancer, though...
I agree with Yuri. My speeking partner is also bad at Japanese grammar. Indeed, Japanese language is easy to pronounce but grammar is very complecated, especially on particle and auxiliary verb. We have to change them as to situations, and we can make small nuances by changing them. So it's really hard to teach Japanese to foreighner.
It sounds good!
I have never seen your dancing, so I want to see it!
