Dear Students and friends
Imitation, imitation, imitation that is the base of language learning was the words Professor Haga of Tsukuba and ICU mentioned to me about thirty years ago from what he learnt from his professor in Kobe University.
I am incorporating it into my Speaking classes. I found out those techniques are well used in Nihon, Aoyama, and Keio as courses called Oral Interpretation or Public Speaking.

"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery".
