Hello out there in Japan. I'd like to practice my Japanese, especially speaking. I am looking forward to working with one or more Japanese tutors. It has been a very long time since I lived in Tokyo (mid-1980s). I used to speak fluently, read Japanese newspapers without hesitation, and have (only a) little trouble understanding Japanese news broadcasts. But I'm afraid now my Japanese language skills are quite horrible. I'm a third-generation American, born and raised in a famous city here in the USA. Best wishes to everyone in Japan. Tony.

    The cats make us always laughing and happy.

    -4 degrees Celsius

    The temperature in this morning was minus 4 degrees Celsius.
    My motivation for jogging was very low but I finally went out.
    The roads were partially frozen and slippery, so I could not run fast.
    My goal is to run 150km running a month but I guess that it might be difficult in this month because of the snow. snowing.

     

    Overall very good!

    "went out" = ok, "went outside" = better

    "a month" = ok for speaking, "per month" = better for writing
