Well, we did it…AGAIN!
The 8th Mayflower Presentation Party (MPP8) was OUR BEST ONE YET!
The presentations were amazing, the audience was super-active, and the party afterwards was an English networking free-for-all!
Cheers all around!
Here are a few post-presentation items of note:
1. Terry Nakajima, who was our Special Guest Speaker (his speech was “Urban Legends, 2012) wrote us up again on 英語でファイト日誌, his great blog! Thanks, Terry! I had a blast working the room with you, and your speech was too cool. Hope to see you at MPP9, too!
2. The Mayflower Student Blog is heating up again, with presentations from MPP8 being posted this week and next week!
3. New classes are starting at Mayflower from Feb. 20th! If you are interested, why not check out our webpage and brochure!
4. Finally, if you missed MPP8, no problem! MPP9 is coming up on March 21st! See you there! (誰でもプレゼンテーションにスピーカーで参加できるからjust drop me a line <mayflowerrobert at gmail dot com>!)

Let it be known!
The Mayflower英語教室 debate resolution has been decided based on popular student vote!
On April 24th (Sat.), after 3+ months of preparation, at Mayflower Presentation Party #10 (MPP10) the Mayflower debate teams will hold an educational debate match on the following resolution: “The Nobel Peace Prize Committee should NOT have awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to American President Obama”
Other resolution candidates that were not chosen were:
“The Japanese government should raise the national minimum wage to 800 yen”
and
“Futenma air base should be relocated to Guam”
The winning team will be awarded our Mayflower debate trophy.
The Mayflower 英語教室 Debate Trophy is awarded for superior knowledge, context, and eloquence in English educational debate.
If you are interested in researching this controversial resolution, and you’d like to join our debate classes at Mayflower, please visit the Mayflower webpage for further details. Classes begin on Feb. 20th, and signups are already underway. We look forward to debating with you at Mayflower!

Welcome back!
Today’s the 7th installment of “ちょっとした英語の言い方”.
Today, we’ll focus on the following Japanese expression： 「屁とも思わない」
How do we say this in English? What a very valid question.
Before we go any further, let’s get a working definition!
「屁とも思わない」： (Lit., “not feel a fart”) To think nothing of: to not care about; to be completely indifferent to; to not give a damn.
Want some example sentences? I live to serve!
⇒ A: 「私の気持ち、彼ったら少しは分かってくれてもいいと思うんだけど」
B: 「なにいってんのよ。あいつあんたのことなんか、屁とも思っていないわよ」
A: You’d think he’d try to have some understanding of how I feel.
B: What are you talking about? He couldn’t care less about you.
⇒ 大介は約束を破ることなんか屁とも思わない奴だ。
That chump Daisuke thinks nothing of breaking a promise.
———
Well, that about wraps it up! Thanks again for studying a little English with me this morning!
Hope to see you again next Saturday morning, when we’ll cover the English expression of the following Japanese : 「逆ねじをくわせる」
See you next time!
Robert
