The holidays are here and it's time to find that perfect gift for the "gaijin" who has everything. Here are a few suggestions:

Kick back and teach English from home over your telephone. For years, we consumers have wondered what the question is that telephone answering machines supposedly answer. Feeling the pressure to answer themselves, answering machine companies have finally brought us the far more practical telephone questioning machine. With the new questioning machine , when someone calls, the recording immediately asks the caller, "What is your name?" and "Why are you calling?"

This new questioning machine will be popular with your Japanese friends or students who are keen to practice their English. Your questioning machine can be programmed to follow the latest English textbooks chapter by chapter, starting with "How old are you?" and "What is your hobby?" Change the recording every day and change your home phone number to a toll number to collect charges.
