    It depends on the student, but I usually use 'Genki' or 'Minna no Nihongo' textbook series. I also use some textbooks printed out in my country, in my native language, to improve my explanations when working with students who have the same native tongue as me (actually, I often work with beginner level students originally from my country). However, I'm very interested in finding some good materials for teaching elementary school children. This is why I will follow this thread closely, hoping to find some inspiration. ^^

    ”Ikigai” is considered as a purpose of life sometimes, but I think "Ikigai" and the purpose of life are slightly different. I think "Ikigai" doesn't have an ending. Whereas "the purpose of life" can be broken down into some objectives and have time to achieve step by step. Fulfillment in life can be created by each of these and how you act for these.

    I know English as a second language, and I have been learning Indonesian for 4 years. I have the desire to learn Japanese but I'm afraid I will fail. How much time will it take to start speaking Japanese if to learn it from scratch?

    I'm a NATIVE the Japanese language speaker and very good at letting you pass all of the JLPT!

    To friends and colleagues are ORE. The word ORE is a casual express. When you talk to your boss and superiors, in my opinion WATAKUSHI is the best to use about the situation. WATAKUSHI is the most polite word to use. About BUKU, little children use the word BOKU. Used when they express themselves. However, sometimes business men use BOKU as well. I think they are still immature as a business man a little.
