Please anawer to these questions I talked with a Vietnamese girl and she asked me an interesting question. Please think about the question below;

#1. You are a train controller. One day, you worked in a controller center alone. You found a train ran very fast. It was out of control. There were nothing to do to stop the train. And there were 5 workers who were working on the railroad where the train was going to. The workers were working so hard that not aware of the train. There was a button to change the direction of railroad to the other. And on the other direction, there was only one worker who was also not aware of the train. If you press the button, you can save the 5 workers and the another worker will die.

Will you press the button, or not?

#2. You are also a train controller. There were also a running train which was out of control. There were 5 workers on the railroad. It’s same so far as #1. And you found a very evil guy, such as serial killer. He is on a bridge above the railroad. And you knew the only way to stop the train; running to the bridge and pushing the guy on to the railroad.

Will you run to the bridge and push him on to the railroad, or not?

Learning Grammar of Foreign Language I read a blog article about learning grammar of foreign languages. The writer of that blog is a native English speaker who has lived in Japan for 20 years. When she started living in Japan she didn't think learning grammar is important. She didn't like it. She thought she would get to be able to speak fluently and naturally because she was living in Japan. But now, she thinks that idea was wrong. She says "grammar is not an enemy".

I totally agree with it. As you know, there is no perfect grammar rule. There are lots of crazy exceptions and we're fed up with them. I know.

But, if there was no grammar, we needed to take much more time to learn other languages.

It's sure that children learn language without grammar, but it needs lots of time and shower of listening.

We already have learned ideas about world and society through our native language, and we can construct them again in other languages with grammar.

She also says she's learning foreign language to respect the country of the language. I like this word.

After Taking Several Lessons After I took several English lessons on italki, I found some points about learning English. To Take lessons is not complete thing to learn English. Of course it's a good practice of speaking, but not enough. I have to study beforehand because sometime I can't find even one word about what I want to speak in English. After taking a lesson, I have to memorize what I mistook and a teacher corrected.

A Little Bit Cold In Karuizawa 軽井沢はちょっと寒いです。。。 I've been in Karuizawa since last Thursday. I thought I would be able to avoid the heat of summer in Tokyo, but it's getting colder even in Tokyo from September. I'm enjoying fresh air in the woods and comfortable silence. If I could wish so much, it's a little bit cold here. :) I plan to stay here for a week. I'll go to hot springs around here a couple of days later.

About learning English 英語学習について… It comes to about 1 week since I've joined italki. Thanks to this site, I could find some language partners and take online lessons easier. And I think notebook service is so useful. It helps me to improve my writing skill and that might help me to improve speaking skill(I hope so...). I wish I could know about this site earlier! I wrote on former notebook that it's hard for me to break through a wall of intermediate. I still suffering there, but a few days ago an English teacher said to me that intermediate level is long, safe and comfortable so it takes long time to get away from it. So I'll keep to be trying to learn; read, listen, write and speak.

I'm going to Karuizawa! 軽井沢に行きます! I'm going to go to Karuizawa from tomorrow with my wife and baby. Karuizawa is known as a summer resort in Japan. It's still hot here in Tokyo(the highest temperature is over 30℃), but in Karuizawa the highest temperature is around 20℃! It's like almost in autumn! I want to walk around in woods and go to a hot spring. I will write about it on my notebook!

Fukumimi-chang(福耳ちゃん) I have a two-month-old son. I and my wife call him "Fukumimi-chang". So, what is "Fukumimi"? Please look at the photo below. How rich a earlobe is! This is a Fukumimi. We Japanese call a ear which has big earlobe Fukumimi. Fukumimi can be divided into two words,"fuku"and"mimi". Maybe you know "mimi" means a ear. And "fuku" means fortune. It has been handed down from ancient times in Japan that a person who has Fukumimi has good luck. I'm not sure but that may be derived from ancient China. I wish my son also has good luck as "Fukumimi-chang".

First time I talked language partner I've just started italki a few days ago. I've learned English more than 10 years, but it's hard to break through a wall of intermiddiate. I like watching movies in English, but I can hear only half of they speak. I hope to break through a wall of intermiddiate, that's why I started italki. Today, I chatted for 30min with language partner who met in italki. It was odd she have just started I italki either. It was fan time to chat in English and Japanese. I wish I have more opportunity to chat people in English.
