Today's English workshop
I set up an English workshop around 4 years ago, and since then I've been studying English with my friends twice a month. I've got some new words from today's lesson. I'll make some example sentences using them.
1) embark on ... to start something
I wanted to embark on a new plan in my career, but I failed to.
2) sluggish ... moving slowly than normal
I don't know what I should do with a sluggish worker.
3) hamper ... to restrict someone's movements or activities
Learning English shouldn't hamper child-rearing.
It'd be nice if you'd correct my sentences.

Right. We could say "Child-rearing shouldn't hamper learning English." as well! I prefer this expression. ;-)
Thank you for your advise. I tend to skil coud/would in my writing..

I actually just stumbled upon your blog while looking about FC2, so let me declare first that I am NOT a stalker. Ha ha. xD
Although I do think that I should introduce myself first or it'd seem rather rude, hm? My name's Summer, and I'm a 19 year old Taiwanese-Canadian :) Pleased to meet you, Emi-san (I don't know a lot of Japanese myself, although I've picked up a few words/expressions here and there from various Japanese dramas, ha ha)!
I thought I'd comment on this particular entry of yours since I find this whole "workshop" business you've set up rather interesting. I wish there would be workshops for different languages in my college, but unfortunately, there's none other than art workshops (since it's an art school). Really, I'd love to learn a new language (I only know English, conversational Chinese, and some Taiwanese ._.), like Japanese, French, or Spanish - I learned SOME French in elementary school (considering it's one of the two national languages in Canada so it's required as an elementary curriculum), but forgot everything other than "My name is Summer." as well as a couple insignificant words. Ha ha.
Anyways. I just wanted to say that I fully support your interest and hard-work towards learning a second language. I'll drop by from time to time from now on I think. I'll be glad to answer any question you might encounter too; it's always admirable to me when I see people taking interests in learning new languages, so I'd like to help :) Keep up the good work! You're doing great!

Thank you for your heartful comment! I'm improving, but my English skill is not good enough and I'm not satisfied about it. I'm so glad if you could help me out when I have trouble studying. Thank you so much.
When I was 19 years old, I had already started working. I didn't have any interest in learning a second language and I regret about it now. I worked for 16 years, and now I'm a homemaker. I have plenty of time in the daytime like I did when I was a single. I'll do my best for my English skill!

Moving slower than usual, or moving more slowly than usual.
Liked all your example sentences. How about 'Child-rearing shouldn't hamper learning English'!
Maybe in the last comment you could add 'would/could'
It'd be nice if you would/could correct my sentences.
