I've recovered!

I was suffering from summer heat,but I've recovered completely!!
I wanted to write this blog in Japanese,but I can't...
Sometimes my personal computer doesn't work well so I can't write in Japanese...
This often happens,so I've got used to it.

One of my students mailed me and worried about my physical condition.
Thanks a lot!

I've got some diaries in English from my students!Thank you very much!

So,I'm going to my grand father's grave in Kyoyo today.
How's your Obon holidays?
Happy holidays!

Mother's Day

What did you do for your mother today?(^_-)～☆

Byodoin Phoenix Hall

I just came up the idea that I wanted to go to World Heritage Site in Kyoto.
And I went to Byodoin Phoenix Hall and Ujigami Shrine.(Both are World Heritage Site.)
After that,I found Fukujuen which is famous for the TV commercial of green tea"IEMON"!!!
I was excited!!!
But it was too hot today,so I'm very worried about sunburn...(>_<)

I love racoons!!!

I went to Fukuchiyama zoo!
The zoo has a lot of kinds of animals,but I'm interested in only racoons!!!!
I felt veeeery happy when I saw the most famous racoon in the zoo!
He was introduced on TV several times because he can climb up very tall pole and catch food!
He is soooooo cute!!!!!
I'm very happy to see him!＼(^o^)／

Kwansei Gakuin elementery school

I got up at six in the morning.
I had studied very hard until noon.
After that,I went out for lunch with my mother.
Since mother's day is coming,I asked my mother if she wanted to go somewhere for lunch.
My mom quickly responsed, "I want to eat sushi!!!!!"
So,we went to 100ーyen sushi bar!
After that we went to Kwansei Gakuin elementery school near my house.
My mom really wanted to see there because she graduated from Kwansei Gakuin University.
The elementery school was amazing!!!
It didn't look like an elementery school!(Please look at the picture.)
There was a church in the elementery school!
We were very excited and took a lot of pictures!!!
Kwansei gakuin elementery school...I wonder how much the school expenses are...

I'm so happy!!!!!!!!

Yesterday my student asked me to go to ballet performance next Sunday!!!!
I've always wanted to see classical ballet performance, but I've never gotten a chance.
I thought the admission of ballet performance was expensive, but that of the ballet performance my student asked me was free!!!
She also asked me to have lunch at a cafe and chat in English!!!
Sounds fun!!!!!!!
I'm so happy!!!
I really appreciate that she asked me such a wonderful event!!!

What a beautiful view!

My student sent me this picture by mail.
She went snowboarding in Hakuba.
I went to Hakuba when I was a high school student.
It was a nice memory.
I love Hakuba!!!!＼(^o^)／

last Friday

Joe gave us gifts last Friday!
He went skiing in ...oh,I forgot to ask where he went....(+。+)
Anyway,thank you very much!!
I hardly ever eat cookies, so I'm very glad to eat it.

After the lesson,I called some students who were absent to tell the homework,but I mistook the number and I called Joe...even though he WAS in the class...(ToT)
I hung up the phone as soon as I noticed I called Joe not to record the number of the school as recieved calls.
BUT!!!
Joe called back...thank you very much and I'm very sorry...m(__)m

I appreciate him!!

Last Monday(Montag)

I was so happy to have two days off!
I really appreciate it.
Last Monday I studied English in the morning.
I enjoyed it so much.(Ich habe sehr gut unterhalten)
I checked the schedule at the health club,there was a special program since it was a holiday.
I found 'easy Jーpop dance'!!!
It seemed very fun!!!
So,I went to the health club in the afternoon.
I enjoyed 'easy Jーpop dance'!!!
The dance was similar to aerobics,so it wasn't very difficult for me to dance.
I was really happy to join that special program!!!
After that,I got measured my weight,body fat percentage,basal metabolism and so on.
To my surprise,I lost my weight!!
I was happy to know that even though I wasn't on a diat!
After that I worked out on an aerobike for 25 minutes reading an easy German book.
Actually,I don't like training,but it's fun for me to work out with studying.
That's why I prefer an aerobike to a tread mill.
I enjoyed reading a German book with exercise.
After that I tooked a bath.
There is a pretty big bath in my health club.
That is not only a big bath but also a bubbled bath!!!!!!!
I feel very good to take a bubbled bath,so I often use the health club as a spa resort.
I really enjoyed the bubbled bath that day,and I went back home.(Ich habe sehr gut unterhalten)
On my way home,I bumped into really cute dogs!!!
There is a dog run near the health club.
So, that's why I can see lots of cute dogs when I go to the health club!
I love dogs!!(Me gustan los peros)
Takarazuka Family Land used to be there.
I used to go to the amusement park so often when I was a kid, and now I go to the same place so often!!

I enjoyed so much.
I really appreciate my day off.
Ich habe sehr gut ulterhalten.(This sentence in German is really difficult, isn't it?I tried to memorize, but soon I forget...no!Repeating is important!Ich habe sehr gut ulterhalten.)

Last Sunday(Sonntag)

Last Sunday(Sonntag)I studied Japanese history in the morning.
I really enjoyed it.
I studied especially Japanese culture!
It was really fun for me.
Actually I had some translation work to do,but I didn't to feel like working on Sunday,so I studied instead.
I was going to go to the health club to do some aerobics,but it was too cold outside,so I stayed home instead.
And I cooked curry and rice for lunch.
I drank chuーhai to celebrate my dayーoff!(even though I had to work as a translator)
Let's explain 'chuhai'in English!
Chuhai is shochu liqour mixed with soda water!
In the afternoon,I tried to translate some materials,but I didn't feel like working,so I studied German instead.
At that time,I really felt like studying German!!!
Last Saturday I worked at Umeda school,and I met German teacher who is Japanese.
I said to her,'Guten Tag!'and she responced.
And she said,'How are you?'in German(i don't know the spelling...Wie gehtes ihnen?←I'm not sure...)
I could understand that she said 'how are you',so I said,'Danke,gud.Und ihnen?'
And she talked more in German,but I couldn't understand.
She taught me 'it snows' in German!!!
But I clearly forgot!(T-T)
I have to check it out,but I'm busy now...(this is because I didn't work as a translator last Sunday...it's my fault!)
but I was really impressed that i could communicate with her in German(just greeting,though)!!!!!
Communication in other languages is wonderful!!!!＼(^o^)／
So,that made me motivated to study German more!!!!
I was really surprised that I clearly forgot German vocaburaly that I used to memorize.
The last time I studied was winter vacation...
I realized that it'd be better to study every day if you study language.
As for me,studying English is my routine.
I have to make studying German my routine.
I want to do so,but I've been busy with translation...maybe just excuse.
I really enjoyed studying German.
I wish I could write a diary(Tagebuch)in German(Deustch)!
I really enjoyed my day off.
I appreciate it.
Thank you very much.(Danke shoen.)

Thank you very much!!!

One of my students lent me this CD!!!

He said,"You said you liked Madonna!"

And I listened to this CD, and I was surprised that the interlude of the song in the CD was the same as the interlude of Madonna's "Hung up"!!
But the song is different!!
Interesting!!!

Thank you for lending me this CD!!!!
I really appreciate it!!

Comparing English newapapers

I've just decided to read newspaper every day.Japanese and English.
Actually, I never subscribe English newspaper, so I don't know the defference among English newspapers.
Now I've bought different kinds of newspapers and compared.

I thought asahi is the most difficult.
And it was hard to read because of the layout.
Actually my best friend is a journalist at Asahi, so I would subscribe Asahi if there is no difference.



Diary Yomiuri is the cheapest...
And translation practice is held every Thursday.(I used to practice translation with this newspaper a year ago.)
Besides,my essay was on this newspaper a year ago!!
Ummmm...it's better to subscribe Dairy Yomiuri?
The easiness to read is the same as Japan Times.(my opinion)

Ummmmm...I haven't decided yet....
