Hawaii



My friends and I got together, and we studied English for two hours. Today, there were 6 members including me, and we had lovely time as usual. One of members told us that she was visiting Hawaii this weekend. How lovely! I'd never been to Hawaii, so I was curious about her plan.
"I'm going to swim, of course," she said.
"And we are going shopping!"
I can't recall the last time to go abroad. In fact, I've never visited any foreign country after restudying English. When was it that I tried speaking English outside Japan? ....Honeymoon in the U.S. Yes, that was the last one...

Hello

Hello. I'm Japanese and now living in the Philippines. I often visit your pages and am enjoying it very much.

You write English in a very natural style, so I thought you had been abroad quite a long time. You are amazing!! I've been studing English for a long time, too. Still, my English is not as good as I wish it to be...... especially when it comes to speaking. People here speak English quite well and I always feel depressed with my poor English.... Could you please tell me your studing method, especially for speaking? I honestly would like to try it!!

To Kim

How do you do? I'm so glad to have you here! Thank you for your kind remarks. I don't think my English sounds natural, though... There are lots of things I have to learn. I'm happy if you'd help me! XD

I like speaking English because English sounds like music to me. I must make one thing clear. Kim. It doesn't mean I can speak English fluently. When I started to learn English, I couldn't speak English apart from some basic greeting, such as "My name is..." or "How have you been doing?" I wanted to improve my speaking skills, so I set up an English workshop at my workplace and studied with my co-workers during lunch break. We invited a native English speaker, and I believe this opportunity helped me a lot.
I try to speak English in front of people, and at the same time, I try to have time for "listening." Let me show you some of my textbooks later. I hope I could be your help!

Hello again!

Hello, Emi,

Thanks for your reply. Now I know you made a number of efforts to develop your skill. I'd like to pick up some of them. Look forward to your comments on your English textbooks. Thanks again.
