Web Wednesday - Another insightful article by the great folks at Tofugu. Give it a read and find the full meaning of the word "Sensei"! - https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/sensei/ 先生（せんせい）= TEACHER; MASTER; DOCTOR THE MEANING OF SENSEI: MORE THAN JUST "TEACHER" IMPRESS YOUR JUDO TEACHER SENSEI JEFF BY USING 先生 IN ALL THE RIGHT WAYS APRIL 16, 2019 • 3318 WORDS WRITTEN BY KANAE NAKAMINE • ART BY JEAN WEI Thanks to the popularity of sports like judo and karate, 先生 (せんせい) is a Japanese word people all over the world use in place of "teacher."
