Conversation Topics I had in on-line lessons. I just started taking online lessons last week to improve my speaking skill and am going to start to write what we talked to improve my writing skill from today. I could sense that he's a very serious man. He's working hard as a teacher here and also thinking about his future very seriously. We talked that we have the number of lawyer these days in our countries and the situation they can't make more money than they used to is the same in both Japan and Philippine. Doctors or nurses could be replaced with robots in the future. The IT technology industry will be more important and that's better idea to work in the industry to earn money. I sometimes had a difficulty listening to his English because his voice was muffled (This is not a bad meaning, I think it's his way to speak). I had another lesson. We talked about singular and plural of English words, like police, stuff, and also talked about Japanese English we Japanese usually use in Japanese with misunderstanding that it came from English. For example, Gasolin stand. We use "Gasolin stand" in Japan instead of "Gas station" of English and no one notice "Gasolin Stand" is Japanese English created in our culture but not English unless they are learning English. So when we travel to other countries and ask someone "Where is a Gasolin stand?", no one can understand there. She said that they also have a lot of local words which people recognize as English but actually not. She asked me if I know some English word originally came from Japanese but these days are considered as English in global. I know there are some but only Tofu and Futon came up in my mind when asked. I also talked about favorite our fruits in Thailand I visited and in Philippine she lives. She likes row cacao fruits, Rongan, and roasted bananas with sugar. I didn't use a camera because I didn't want her to see my sleepy face. She was nice and funny, so I really enjoyed talking to her.
