The lesson went really well, I left the sexism for last and never actually got to it and hit everything else. So I suppose that's all for the best.

I went over hiragana/katakana/kanji/romaji

Greetings/goodbyes and bowing

Honorifics and class system.

eating foods like onigiri and others as well as etiquette when eating.

Odd cultural differences, stuff like no tipping, tattoos, blowing your nose etc.

Need to know stuff like genkan and some bureaucracy.

Being part of a group and harmony was my biggest subject though; along with politeness, humbleness, etc. Really the whole Japanese attitude if you get what i mean.

I also showed a video on Japanglish and a few other amusing things compiled from the old man.


Overall it went really well, the class was actually interested in the subject. much thanks to the forums. Also much thanks to the old man for sparking my interest half a year ago.
