Lia was the first teacher I met. She came from Newcastle,
so she was a specialist in northern accents. She had a strong Geordie accent,
but I didn't pick it up!
( SHe was my teacher Nov 2000 - Mar 2001 )

I was forced to change the day of
my lesson and my teacher changed from Lia to Peter.
I think that Peter had generic knowledge
about most modern British Comedy and films. He usually knew the answers to
my questions. He said he was born somewhere in the west of England and that
he had moved a lot, so he had no particuler accent. He is a charming person.
He left my English school in September
2001. ( He was my teacher Apr 2001 - Sep 2001 )

When Peter left the school, Alison became my temporary teacher. We got together very quickly because her favourite comedians were ,surprisingly, Reeves & Mortimer. The only difference was she prefered Bob. She never agreed with me about Vic being much much more attractive than Bob.
| Matthew |
Matt took over from Alison when
she left the school for maternity. He is a handsome young gentleman who has
a Japanese girlfriend. He spent sometime in New Zealand, which is where he
met her.
He doesn't look very much the outdoor
type, but his hobbies are hiking and rock climing. Although he's only been
in Japan for half year, having a good private guide, he's already visited
many places, such as Kamakura, Nikko, Mitake-san and Mt. Fuji.
| Fergus |
Fergas was my temporary teacher
after Matthew left. I believe Fergus is now teaching in somewhere else. He
is cheeful person so the lessons with him was enjoyable. He likes comedies,
and he likes many comedians I know, Vic Reeves, the League of Gentlemen, Mark
Lamarr, Red Dwarf... He was even reading Red Dwarf book when I met him for
the first time.
He is from Liverpool, but his accent
doesn't show it. He once lived in Japan and returned U.K. for a while. He
said he's stayed at Cathedral Road in Cardiff for a short time, where was
not far from the place I lived. This probably removed his Scouse.

I met her when I took a temporary lesson. She is another very cheerful person. I've heard she enjoyed the lesson with me because what I want is relating to British comedies. Fergas also recommended her for my permanent teacher. I thought it's good idea and I changed the day of lessons from Wedneseday to Saturday. She is active lovely young woman, has charming smile.
She is from Glasgow so she shows a lovely Scottish accent sometimes. It's not strong though.

He is another my temporary teacher. I need to mention one thing about him. He has a common friend with Vic's new wife !!! I asked him to get any information, gossips or anything about Vic.
