Oh my god!! Where is someone who proofread my note? Last year, I started this website. At that time, many friends gave me corrections on my notes. But these days I didn't get any corrections on my notes. I don't think my English is perfect. Please I would be very happy if I receive any corrections on my notes. OK. Let me get down to business. Today I heard one of my previous colleagues decided to go Australia to move his company and live there. Some Koreans think Korea is a very busy country. In Seoul, most elite office workers get off work later than 9 P.M. So they can't have much time with their families and enjoy their interesting things. I think the one of my previous colleagues decided it because of the reason. But I heard in case of U.S., the elite office workers also suffered from hard working. They get off work earlier than Korea's workers but they work after having dinner with their families to achieve their commitment. I think it might be same in case of many leading edge companies over the world. What about Australian companies? Is it true? or my knowledge is wrong?

Infant care About 2 and half months ago, my baby was born. Since that, my hobby became an infant care. In order to write about it, I need to learn some words on it. For example, diaper, vaccination and so on. From birth to 1 month, it was so hard to feed whenever my baby asked. He asked it every 2 hours. Of course, I did it with my wife. :) Even if so, it was not easy. I'm sure if you are a parent, you definitely understand it. From the beginning of 2 month, the feeding term became longer than before from 2 hours to 3 or 3 and half. At night, he slept more than 5 hours without waking up. Finally, I can have time to write here. I heard some western countries' parents try to teach their babies sleep education which means a baby fall a sleep alone, by himself without parent's holding. I think I can teach my baby falling a sleep without my holding. But what if something emergency such as airway obstruction happened after falling a sleep alone, how do you handle it? I think it might not be easy to handle it quickly if parents sleep in a different room.

I think all 4 activities are needed to be fluent. Hello, long time no see. These days, I haven't visited here. All of sudden, I wanted to write anything here. I was considering what to write. When I was in an university, I read a popular Korean book 'Never ever study English' The point was that English was something to learn, not a topic to study like physics and mathematics. So the writer suggested a way to learn English was keeping listening. It was a sensation in Korea at that time because we focused on vocabularies and grammar to learn English at that age. Of course, some people criticized the point saying that listening was not enough to master English. I also thought that way was not enough. but it allowed me to consider English funny thing. So I accepted the way 'keeping listening'. Since that, my main way to learn English was listening and memorizing it. The material was mainly news such PBS and NBC. But it was not that practical 'cause the expression was professional and a little difficult. So I changed the material from the news to 'Dear abby' I think it was a consultative radio program in U.S. The program had more practical expressions I could use than the news. But I always felt thirsty of English. I want to be a fluent English speaker which means understanding over 80% of any English topics and communicating on the topics. To reach that level, I think I have to pratice all 4 activities such as listening, reading, writing and speaking instead of listening-centric way. Until now, it's my resolution to be a fluent English speaker. Thank you for reading.

I need motivation to re-start English learning. Actually, I enjoyed learning English. But all of sudden, I lost all of my energy to learn English. I need any motivations to re-start it. Does anyone know fun English-spoken TV series? or anything else? I think my slump is originated by studying a programming language 'Python'. Studying the programming language was more interested in learning English. By studying it, I can create my own program. Creating is more fun than just learning. But I don't want to lose my interest on learning English. Please, let me know if someone know how I hold my interests on both. Thanks in advance.

It's been a while to post a notebook. Hi, Everybody. It's been a while to post a notebook. These days, I have been a little busy. So It was a little difficult to have time to post this. There was no room in my mind to do it. :) But today while I was checking my private emails, I saw new italk's friend request. So I visited here again. And it also made me to do this. I'm happy to do this again.

A romantic guy Yesterday night, I saw a Korean TV soap opera. I was very surprised when the main man character did a very romantic behavior. Let me explain the behavior. A woman and 3 men live in a house, which is a house sharing. The woman just broke up with her boyfriend in front of the house in a rainy day. The couple argued strongly so she was totally soaked After the , she entered her room with her soaked because of sadness. One of the 3 men who hasn't got along with her, I think they might be a couple later, anyway, put some towels in front of her room's door after knocking the door without a word and returned to his room. But I think an ordinary man can't do that kind of romantic behavior. The behavior can happen only in a soap opera because it was written by a woman writer. I believe this kind of soap opera make men hard. :)
