[qsm quiz=50] Prefectures (provinces) of Japan

The words "ken", "-to", "–do", "–fu" get removed from the end of each prefecture’s name when being translated in English. Except for Hokkaido.
e.g Saitama-ken = Saaitama prefecture, Tokyo-to = Tokyo prefecture, Kyoto-fu = Kyoto Prefecture

One thing to be aware of is that some cities* (*-shi in Japanese) are the same as its prefecture. For example, Saitama-shi (city) in Saitama-ken (prefecture).

Depicted on the map are Japan's main islands, from north to south: Hokkaido (北海道), Honshu (本州), Shikoku (四国), and Kyushu (九州).

Geology
Tectonic plates

When you look at a map of Japan, you can see the Japanese archipelago is the result of subducting tectonic plates over several hundreds of millions of years from the mid-Silurian (443.8 Mya) to the Pleistocene (11,700 years ago). Over the past 450 million years, about 15,000 km (9,300 mi) of oceanic floor has moved beneath the Japanese archipelago, where most of it subducted completely. The Japanese archipelago now forms a mature island arc (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare).

Tectonic plate movements created the Japanese islands

47 Prefectures

[qsm quiz=50] ①

Japan has 47 prefectures (都道府県, todōfuken, [todoːɸɯ̥ꜜkeɴ]), which rank immediately below the national government and from the country's first level of jurisdiction and administrative division. They include 43 prefectures proper (県, ken), two urban prefectures (府, fu: Osaka and Kyoto), one "circuit" or "territory" (道, dō: Hokkai-dō) and one metropolis (都, to: Tokyo).

②

In 1868, the Meiji Fuhanken sanchisei administration created the first prefectures (urban fu and rural ken). They were to replace the urban and rural administrators (bugyō, daikan, etc.) in the parts of the country. Shogunate and a few territories of rebels/shogunate loyalists who had not submitted to the new government such as Aizu/Wakamatsu previously controlled them directly. Then in 1871, all remaining feudal domains (han) became prefectures, so that prefectures subdivided the whole country. In several waves of territorial consolidation, we ended up with today's 47. And in many instances, these are contiguous with the ancient ritsuryō provinces of Japan.

③

Voters directly elect each prefecture’s chief executive, called the governor (知事, chiji). Every four years, voters also elect the assembly me

Installing Adobe CS6 (Creative Suite) in the wrong language

Did you just get a copy of Adobe CS6 (Creative Suite) only to find out it installs in the wrong language? If you did, like I did, then maybe these steps below will help you get it installing in the correct language. This should also work if you downloaded the trial of Adobe CS6, and it isn't installing in English or your main language either. The reason for this problem is usually the region and language settings.

Installing Adobe CS6 Creative Suite

Here are the steps for installing and hopefully fixing the Adobe CS6 Creative Suite when it is coming up with the wrong language:

1. Open the Control Panel

2. Open Region and Language settings

3. On the Formats tab change the format to English (or your native language)

Format: English (United States)

4. Try installing or reinstalling again.

Feel free to email me through the contact page if you find a better way of fixing this problem. Any support or help on fixing problems like this is greatly appreciated.

As a teacher and designer, I'm quite happy with the CS6 Master Collection.

One day, I would like to upgrade to the new Creative Cloud version bu

盛り上げ上手なGlen先生は子どもたちとすぐ仲良しに！
先生のテンションに負けないくらい、元気いっぱいの二人！

今日、体験レッスンに参加してくれたのは足代花道（はなみち）くん4歳と平良木実花（みか）ちゃん5歳。同じ幼稚園のお友達でとっても仲良しの二人。普段から生活の中に英語を取り入れているという花道君は最初からワクワクしているのが伝わってきます。実花ちゃんは最初だけちょっと緊張気味でしたが、Glen先生が子どもに負けないテンションで一緒に遊んでいるうちに、いつしかすっかり英語の世界に。初めての場所でもママが近くにいるので安心。レッスンでは次々にでてくるゲームやカードに二人とも競い合うように挑戦していました。

次々とテンポよく進むので、子どもたちは夢中！自然に英語を口にしています。
レッスンが始まる前にGlen先生がゲームを持ってきました。レッスン前の緊張感を解すために子どもたちと一緒に遊んで緊張感を取り除きます。 ボールを使って交互に『My name is Glen．』『My name is Hanamichi！』ボールを受け取ったら英語で自己紹介。次は『What's in the bag？』（バックの中には何が入ってる？）ドキドキしながら手を入れてみると『A pineapple！』次は何が出るのか楽しみ！ 大きなトンネルが出てきました！トンネルを通って先生の伝えた果物を持って来くるゲームです。
でもトンネルが楽しくてなかなか出てこない二人。だけど先生は怒ったりしません。そんな時はもう、一緒に遊んでしまいます。子どもたちと先生の距離がとても近くなりました。 フルーツのカードを使ったレッスン。伏せたカードの中から『apple』など、先生が言った果物を当てます。どっちがたくさんのカードを当てることができるかな？二人とも真剣！ 最後はGlen先生が絵本を読んで楽しいレッスンの終了です。 －『ママNavi』取材 Report －

教室に入る前から、賑やかで楽しそうな二人。英語に慣れている花道君とちょっと恥ずかしくて、なかなか積極的に取り組めなかった実花ちゃんの様子をGlen先生はしっかりチェック。マニュアル通りのレッスン内容ではなく、機嫌が変わりやすい子どもの様子をしっかり見ながら、臨機応変に対応していました。気づくと二人とも笑

Why Study English in Japan? (Version 1)

Japan’s going hard on English education, with MEXT’s 2020 survey showing 82.0% of lower secondary schools teaming up with elementary schools to boost English skills and 73.8% swapping game plans like class observations and teaching schedules [https://www.mext.go.jp]. This early focus means students need quality English schools to keep up and that’s where schools like Sapporo Eikaiwa AGREATDREAM come in. Here is the Genglish list or recommended schools in Sapporo: [https://www.gorinobi.jp/eikaiwa-sapporo/#index_id1].
