How can I remove my own expectations toward this crappy relationship and become a realist? I know nobody thinks of me in a good way Then where does this grain of shitty hope come from? Anyway I have no time to spend on this kind of asshole I just have to accept the reality and focus on my goals It d…

Banff 2

Perfect weather made me excited to look through several famous places around Lake Louise on the car with a friend who I got know yesterday 2日目はホステルで同じ部屋のオーストリア人とドライブです めっちゃいい天気でした バンフの天気予報はほぼ当たりません、雪降り出してもだいたいすぐ止みます 逆に言えば、晴れてたのに急に降りだすこともあります Since the transportation is incompetent here, by the way, …

Banff 1

Last week I went on a vacation to Banff for the first time. I enjoyed hiking with absolutely amazing view of Rocky Mountain. I took the bus from Vancouver, which is the cheapest way to reach there right now.(120 CAN$ one way) It was utterly tough one, on board for almost 12 hours, but still worth do…

Purpose

One of the things I noticed here is that acquiring language isn’t one of the reasons you study abroad. Through learning English here, what’s the most annoying is that I’m a perfectionist, particularly in learning languages. It’s no good cuz I feel disgusted when I make a mistake or when I don’t hear…

Some Tips to Speak English like Native Speakers

Which do you think is correct? (b) I must admit that I was wrong. (c) I must permit that I was wrong. (d) I must approve of the fact that I was wrong. (e) I must recognize my fault. You'll see the answer in chapter 2 I’ve been in Canada to improve my English from the beginning of this month. I also …

The Difficulty with Communication in Language Abroad

Do you think you can learn language just because you’re fluent in it? I wouldn’t say so. Though I guess most of you “know” the fact, some people might not “understand” it because I didn’t, neither. Today I went to a bar with lots of friends from Europe for the first time since I came here. One thing…

Quality of Experience/Calmness and Relationship

Today I wanna mention two life tips. 1.The Amount of Experience First, some people say that the quality of your experience is far important than the amount of that. I used to do so too. As a result, I used to do just what I was interested in. However, now I'd say that how many things you experience …

Friendly

Sadly, a bestie from Brazil left here for the US. He talked me about a lot of his experience in his travel around the country. What I noticed is that he doesn’t forget to smile whenever he is with friends. He reminds me to be positive all the time no matter what happens. In addition, he is so compos…

Speak

I went to school for the first time today and took a placement test. Actually, I didn’t do so well in the exam, but my class level is higher than I expected, so I’m a little bit relieved. Btw, I think I have to overcome two weakpoints. First, I often stop speaking in the middle of the sentences beca…

Home

I finally got there. I've gotta go to Sunday Activity held by my language school, so I'll write here just a few things. My host families are from the Philippines and Czechoslovakia. I was kind of ashamed when I talked to them for the first time, because I had feeling in my mind like "I wish my host …

Thanks

Today I'm leaving Japan for Canada. I can't fall asleep because I feel like I've got something to write here right now. First of all, I can't thank you enough for a lot of messages you gave me. I don't think it's easy to keep the motivation in studying English without the power of my college and fri…

How I deal with my mental issues these days モチベーション

I don't often watch TV. In my opinion, most of commercial broadcasting in Japan is neither interesting nor funny(NOT all of them). However, recently I've been into NHK, because they give you a lot of information on the newest technologies in the world. Last night, I couldn't help watching the progra…
