The Universal Language

(This poem is dedicated to my beloved students Chitose and Yuzuki as well as to the whole family. English is the universal language, they say, it is through this language that people use to communicate from different parts of the world. But more than the English language, it is the language of love, friendship, care and respect that they use to effectively communicate themselves.)

What language is more universal than love?
It is love that paints a wide colorful smile 
on our faces-
It is love that sings the unspoken 
great lines we planted in our hearts-
It is only but love that communicates
our deepest seated happiness each day. 
Chitose and  Yuzuki
Two cute little angels who speak
different language than me - 
Taught me to speak fluently 
the universal language of united-diversified community 
- Love.

  3. Thank you for your replying to us so quickly. My two kids has very few skill of speaking in English but they really want to express their thinking and minding in their words. Especially Chitose, he asked me a lot about making sentences in English. Also Yuzuki, he has a consideration to others so he drew a picture of you instead of telling the words. I think this links to your poem. I think the importance of communication is not only the language but motivation, love or care to the person. You taught us the importance. Both of your angels always think of you and are your side. We are so happy and lucky to meet you.

    1. Thank you for those kind words, yes I can see to both Chitose and Yuzuki the willingness to learn the English language. And I am more than happy to do my best in order to help them achieve their goals in learning the language. I feel Yuzuki, sometimes I also ran out of words that I just prefer to put it into drawings. That’s I have a lot of drawings too 😅. I will make way to send some of my paintings to my two little cute angels.

  4. Hello,Teacher Alejandro. We spent really nice lesson last night. Both of my kids are getting more and more active to talk in English thanks to you.
    By the way, I was searching for the way of sending the package Philippines to Japan. Then LBC you said maybe can send only between domestic. So I think you can use EMS, FEDEX or DHL is better to send to Japan. EMS is the most reasonable price of package. It costs 1,059p per 1 kg. If it’s only documents, it’s better price of using FEDEX or DHL system, it costs 859p or 996p.
    Anyway, Yuzuki said “I miss Teacher Alejandro because we can’t meet for a long time” and he cried after the lesson.
    He really gets to depend on you and smile, I mean he’s not shy anymore, in the class. On the other hand, Chitose is more adult so he is really looking forward to seeing you every time and proud of himself to be able to express his ideas to you. We always think of you and hope to be able to book your class as soon as possible. Sometimes other students have already booked your class. We felt very sad and disappointed at that time.
    We hope you enjoy your weekend and please say hi to your families♫

  5. Hello, wow I felt a pinch inside me while reading your comment. Yes, when I went home last night I had a late night talk with my mother and I told her how happy I am with Chitose and Yuzuki. She told me to treat you with crabs, octopus, clams and lobsters. She too, is looking forward to seeing Chitose and Yuzuki. I miss them both, I miss you all when I was in my home last weekend. You were always my word of the mouth when I was there. I showed Chitose’s and Yuzuki’s drawings to my family and they were very amazed with the two children.

    I am so happy and grateful for meeting you all. I actually make it a habit to check Chitose’s and Yuzuki’s names every time I open my dashboard (classes). And I am always so excited whenever I see their names. I miss them both so much that I had a very long talk with them once again, hehe. I am so proud how you raise the two, very kind and polite.

    My genuine gratitude to you all. Have a great night and keep safe, always! Teacher Alejandro loves you all (sending my love to you all from my humble country – Philippines)

  7. Thank you for the lesson tonight too. Also, we’re so sorry for talking a lot even though you have next class.
    Time flies. Was it all right? We can book your class constantly these days so we all are really happy and excited.
    By the way, I read your message and really touched your family feels welcome us. We’re ready for going there anytime. We want to talk without caring the time someday. Yuzuki and Chitose always think about you. Although this is our secret,actually they prepare to send letters, some crafts and drawings:) during spring vacation. Yuzuki said “I want to give my letter Teacher Alejandro soon. Can he read Japanese? Does he please it?” I think Teacher Alejandro likes a rainbow so I’m gonna draw.” He draw a lot of illustrations thinking of you. Also Chitose showed me his positive and proud attitude to speaking English. He is funny and say directly words,” I have a confidence to express in English and understand very much. I know what people who speak English want to say.” hehe. Therefore,There are no days to spend without saying “Teacher Alejandro “.
    We always be your side and sincerely love you. See you tomorrow☺️🦄💕

    1. Hello good evening. Yes, I truly enjoy talking with Chitose and Yuzuki. It’s only with them that I am comfortable to open about my real self (such as who I really am, where I came from, and what background I have) It’s only with them that I am so comfortable to share things. That’s I can’t notice the time running hehe. But yeah it’s alright, no worries. I can manage my other classes, what is important is more important is that we were able to have at least small talks every night. Because my night won’t be complete without seeing the two of them 😀 I truly love Chitose and Yuzuki and they are like little brothers to me (since that I don’t have little brother because I am the youngest in the family), whom I think and look after always.

      Wow amazing, they are not just cute, kind and polite. They are very thoughtful too. I am so happy to know what are they up to. 😇🙏 Salamat po. I genuinely love you all, and my gratitude to your family is immeasurable. I can’t imagine what would be my days and classes be like without Yuzuki and Chitose. Thank you, thank you so much. Salamat po, ingat! ❤️

      1. Thank you for your comment
        after our lessons. You always give us neat, polite and positive feedbacks in spite of your doing things a lot.
        It’s too fast to pass the time whenever we spend with you in the class. We really enjoy talking with you. Even if Yuzuki is a little sleepy, you don’t forget to let him motivate up. That’s why he can take your class so positively and happily.
        Chitose also,he can say some jokes recently. This happens only in your class. So I am surprised.
        Both of kids take a lesson everyday to improve their English skills. We want to take your class everyday but we can book next class after finishing a lesson. So sometimes we come to join another teacher’s class . Anyway, we hope you will enjoy your weekends and take care always. Matane(See you)
