I was asked to give a brief speech to the school today, about some topic pertaining to my winter break. I gave the speech in alternating slow, careful English and as quick and clear of Japanese as I could manage; the goal was not to challenge the students' English levels, but to give the school a chance to hear what sort of stuff I think about and do when I am not at work. I think it was a pretty big success, and helped to remind some of the teachers that I speak Japanese and it is ok for them to talk to me: a lot of teachers have had brief conversations with me already since I gave the speech.
Here it is, in both English and Japanese for those interested in either!
