My Mistake

In Osaka, there is a very popular Italian clothing shop named Max Mara.
I went there for the first time.
I love Italian fashon.
So once in a while I buy Italian clothes, like a one piece or a jacket, at the personal business shop in Kyoto.
The reason why I buy them only once in a while is because they are so expensive for me.
The shop that I use is very nice because I can select some clothes and try them on without constraint.
Today however, when I went inside Max Mara in Osaka, I was overpowered by the atmosphere at the shop. The shop drifts away high-class atmosphere as well as high-class brand.
I was ashamed to be seen with such a casual appearance.
Perhaps the salesclerk thought that I wouldn't buy anything, so I left out the shop soon.

Difficulty With Studying Foreign Languages.

 

I study English myself by self-educating.

I want to smoothly read English literatures that are about philosophy written in the old days, but in the present state of affairs it is impossible for me.
I could never do such a thing!!
I have a long long way to go.
When I use English , I am anxious about my use .
A popular proverb says that "Custom makes all things easy", but I don't think that it is easy to study a foreign language.
Every language connects with our thought profoundly, and it is not without saying that the langage that we use is effected by our own culture.
When I use English , I usually prepare with the English-Japanese dictionary.
If I don't know some English words that I want to use then the dictionary will help me of course, however, I am frequently worried about the following.
" What words should I select ?"
An example is when I want to translate " noberu"(noberu is Japanese. I use this word when I say something. )
If I look up noberu in the dictionary, I come across a lot of words about noberu!
For example, state,express,mention,observe.give, say,speak .
I can't understant which one I should select .
They all look the same to me and I thougt I was in trouble.
I think writing is easier than speaking because If I speak English I can't examine words and I have to think about  expressions that I already knew only by memory!

in my hometown

Chibi and Maro are my cat's names who live in my hometown.
I met Chibi and Maro at my parent’s house .
I think Chibi was milder than before .
Maybe he was defeated (or yielded)by his enemy cat and he hurt his pride.
Chibi was swaggering to Maro ,but when Chibi went out outdoors there were a lot of stray cats.
Chibi didn’t know that he was weak !
I hope that Chibi won’t fight with other cats any more .
Now he doesn’t go outdoors and he enjoys indoor life .
There are a lot of dangers for cats outside .


I traveled Kanazawa the other day .
I met a lot of friends of my husband and mine .
I was invented to their house and I could meet their cats .
They were so pretty and lovely and they had well kept fur .
There was a magnificent cat tower in their house !
I took pictures of it .

It depends on what the doorman means by tesserae. The term tesserae was mainly used in ancient Rome. Romans would give out tessaraes as tokens, or tickets for food or for entry into the theatre (just some examples) . When people ask for a tessarae now, they usually mean a ticket or an invitation of some sort.

"How much" is usually used to ask about the value of something. Example-how much are these shoes?, or how much does he weigh?. "How many" is usually used to ask about the quantity of something. Example-how many chickens are in the barn?, or how many times did she ask you?
