Senpai? who are you talking about? do you mean Sensei?
No, I meant "senpai."
Senpai (先輩, Senpai?) and kōhai (後輩, kōhai?) are an essential element of Japanese age-based status relationships, similar to the way that family and other relationships are decided based on age, with even twins being divided into older and younger sibling.
Senpai is roughly equivalent to the western concept of "mentor", while kōhai are roughly equivalent to "acolytes". A young person may be considered the senpai of an older person at times if the older person entered an organization, such as a company, at a later time than the younger person did. Senpai is often seen romanized as "sempai". (Wikipedia)
Haruhi taught every aspect of Konata's parodical skills.
Although, senpai and sensei are used interchangeably.
