Oh dear >_>

She did tell everyone on the first day something like "I'm from Kyoto, so that is the dialect of Japanese that I'll be teaching you instead of standard dialect" but I suppose that it's very possible that she misspoke. She often has a hard time trying to explain things in English, so she could have meant to say something like "Even though I speak Kyoto dialect I'll be teaching you standard" or something. I hope.

Because I don't really know the differences between the dialects I can't say for sure that I'm using a standard Japanese text book... I'm sure that it must be standard if it really seems that strange to teach anything other than standard though.
