You know, I've always been interested in learning English by using it directly, without translating. And not just English, but also learning other subjects in English too.

「ノー英語嫌い」つまり英語嫌いを作らないこと。子供の頃に嫌いになると、一生嫌いになりそう。それって子供の将来の可能性を奪うことでは？子供の未来を奪うなんて、英語好きを、たとえ何人作れても取り返しつかないことなのでは？...こんな風に思ってたんです。

I used to teach English to kids, and I then had a special motto that I held dear: I wanted to make sure as few kids as possible dislike English.
