ニューオーリンズに行かれる受講生の方がいらっしゃいましたので、久しぶりにアメリカの動画を使いました。インストラクターはアメリカ人が多いので、アメリカの話は彼らにはしやすいですね。 なお、この教室のインストラクターでニューオーリンズに旅行に行った際に盗難にあったことがあるようですので、ご旅行の際はくれぐれもお気をつけください！
なお、このレッスンレポートはTrevorが月曜日（18:00-19:10,19:25-20:35：クラス：初級ー初中級のレギュラー（トラベリング））に担当したものです。２週間位ぶりのレッスンになりましたが、久しぶりに彼のレッスンを見ていて説明がすごくわかりやすいと思いました。
あと、Trevorのレッスンは英会話初心者の方でも、タイピングが早いためリスニングができなくても、スクリーンの彼のメモ書きを見ればすごく理解はしやすいのですが、初心者の方が７０分のレッスンを全て英語で受けると理解できなかった部分も出て来ますので、レッスンの終了後に日本人のスタッフが少しレッスンの内容を日本語で解説しています（今のところ月曜日が初級の方が多いので月曜日のみですが）。 おそらく最初のうちは手助けになることが多いと思いますが、基本的にはネイティブから全て習うのが一番いいかなとも思います。
なお、中級の方は火曜日のレギュラークラス(19:25-20:35)、上級の方はビジネスクラス（水曜日、土曜日、日曜日）をおすすめしております。
