Swing Life Away
Thanks for correcting my last article, Tim! (No problem!)
I started graduated school life has started since in April. I think I'm in hardship now I'm having a hard time right now. (I'm pretty sure that's what you were trying to say)
My major is linguistic culture in English.
So I have to talk in English in some classes (1). But I'm not familiar with talking in English.
I'm not even good at talking even in Japanese...:( (or you could say, "I'm not even good at speaking japanese." seems easier to me)
I'll speak in oral presentation class next Monday (2). I must practice hard cuz my last presentation was so terrible.
'Swing Life Away' is the title of the song I listen to lately.
The band Rise Against plays it. I like it so much.
Just posted a photo! This is Japanese cherry blossom. I took this photo in April.

1. This sentence is correct i think, but maybe a more propper way of saying it would be, "So i have to speak English in some classes." it just sounds better to me for some reason. Plus it's a lot easier to say, and a little bit shorter too :)
2. speech is a noun, so it would be use like this, "I have to give a speech at the wedding." or something like that. But when your using it as a verb, you use "speak". so for example, I could say, "I speak with a mid-western accent."
Your english is really good by the way. You've got almost everything down. Honestly your grammar is better than half the native english speakers i see on facebook. The problem i see is that it seems like your still thinking in terms of Japanese grammar. One thing that's really helped me a lot is trying to think in the language your learning. When you talk always thing about how you would say that in english. Great picture by the way =)
