I am going to live in London from this summer. Hello, Now I have a plan to live in London from this summer with YMS visa. I am really excited, but I feel unsecure about somethings as well. At first, I am worried about my poor English. I have studied American English. So when I watch British movie, I can not understand well what they say. And second one I am worried about is the problem of money. My English friend told me that it is really expensive to live in London. If it is more expensive than to live in Tokyo. I may not be able to handle it. Except for these things, I am so excited. I like the townscape of London, UK music, British movies, their personality(Actually I don’t know well yet.) , pronunciation of British English or something. Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing everything in UK. Thank you. I will be happy if you make corrections to my sentences.

I am going to live in London starting this summer.

Hello!

I plan to live in London starting this summer with a YMS visa. I am really excited, but I feel insecure about some things as well. First, I am worried about my poor English. I have studied only American English, so when I watch movies with British English, I can not understand well what they say. Second, I am worried about the problem of money. My English friend told me that it is really expensive to live in London. If it is more expensive than living in Tokyo, I may not be able to handle it. Except for these (two) things, I am so excited.

I like the townscape(はい？)of London, the UK's music （例をお願いします）, British movies　（例）, their personality (actually I don’t know well yet.　（笑）), and the British-English accent. I am looking forward to seeing everything in the UK.

Thank you.

I will be happy if you make corrections to my sentences.

Your English is great! The mistakes you made were small and didn't really obstruct the meaning of the sentence, so you're on the right track. Good luck in the UK :)

Sarah Britton Thanks for your kindness. Some tips you gave me are very helpful. When I have some questions, I will send you a message.

Susie Thank you very much!

Hello Yodai! I am happy to know that you are traveling abroad and spending your summer in a different country! The world is such a big place and not many people have the chance to travel it. I am very lucky and I am a duel citizen. I am a citizen of both USA and UK so I am able to travel many places. I am give you some helpful information on your summer trip to London! To start off, the accent is very different from what you are used to hearing, but though it takes a while to get used to, I think you will understand in no time. Some tips for understanding the accent are... - if something ends in an "er" it is likely to be pronounced "AAA" so for example "fatha, motha, whistla, travela" try to imagine saying it with an "a" sounds at the end - words can often be slightly dragged out, so be aware of that Something else I see you have considered is that some words are very different. Using context clues you often find out the meaning of the word though. For example, if I say "his jumper is very colorful" you may not know the meaning of "jumper" but by judging context clues and the situation around you, you may realize that "jumper" means "sweater" Also never be afraid to ask if you don't understand. People are generally very kind and understanding. Especially since you aren't a native English speaker. I think that you will greatly enjoy your trip to London! Don't worry to much and just make the most of it. It is likely that you may come back to your home town as a fluent English speaker! Its amazing what traveling can do! Anyway, if you EVER have any questions, concerns, or comments that I could likely help you with, then feel free to contact me. I would love to help you throughout your journey abroad. Good luck Yodai!
